The Fallback


"Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe."

As I wake up each day, I suddenly realize that I’m no longer a child. Fantasies, as they say, craft a child to dream more and more and construct a superlative world. I would on no account desire those fantasies to vanish.

It’s been a while since my rejection at the PRC for Local Nursing board Exam application (good thing I had it processed now). Since then, I got thwarted and developed the habit of taking things too lightly. Now, it’s only days before the judgment day. But then I realized that if I’ll continue becoming slothful, I won’t be able to make it. Shouting “I will top the Board Exam” in reviews won’t really help if you will not do your part.

But I always ask myself, “What’s next after the board exam?” It really riddles me. If I pass (hopefully), would there be a guarantee that I will be able to survive considering the number of nurses (jobless nurses!) in the Philippines? The competition is really sturdy.

This philosophy I came to realize when I was in my graduating year in college. I should have a fallback! That is where I decided to take the NMAT (National Medical Admission Test)
Although I didn’t achieve a good grade in NMAT, right now I’m doing inquiries on medical schools that would admit and train me to become a good doctor. I’m just waiting for my recommendation letter and off I go.

6 more years of endless nights.
I hope to survive.
God be with me.
