MANILA, Philippines – Three best friends since high school recently went viral for becoming doctors together. The three ladies impressed netizens with their #FriendshipGoals, making many people wish they would also find good friends who will help them reach their dreams together…
Joieanne Marie Macarubbo, Jovine Martin, and Marie Clare Perez have been friends since high school. Way back in 2011, they had this photo taken with “The Doctors” written in big letters on the board at the background.
Fast forward to 2020, the three remained good friends and recently completed med school together! Macarubbo happily shared their story, posting the photos as inspiration to others and to thank her two good friends who’ve been around since high school.
“I can still vividly remember the day we took the first photo. The foundation of our dreams. Year 2011, the year we graduated high school. Never have I imagined graduating together again with these two, neither have we talked about going in the same school,” Macarubbo wrote in a post on Facebook.
“We just found ourselves applying in the same college. We have gone through so much during the years, on the brink of failure, crying ourselves out almost every night, tired & restless especially during our clerkship, but never took quitting as an option.”
Macarubbo expresses her gratitude to her friends who also became her study buddies, inspiration, and motivators along the way. Together with these two ladies, she was able to reach for dreams and they would become doctors at the same time.
“Now, 9 years from that day, here we are, living our vision. Truly, the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Wouldn’t have survived med school without you two ❤️ And of course the support of our dear parents ✨,” Macarubbo added.
It is wonderful that these three ladies are able to support each other and worked hard to reach for their common dream of becoming a doctor together… Congratulations!
