According to her Facebook post on November 29, 2024, Nursing was not her first choice in college. Throughout her years of study, her classmates knew her as an "unserious student." There were times when she skipped classes or failed to submit assignments.
In truth, she was in a phase of her life where she was searching for what could give her fulfillment. To figure out what she truly wanted, she decided to work while studying. And after becoming a topnotcher in the nursing board exam, she now understands God's plan for her.
It can be read, “Nursing was never my choice in college. Throughout my years, I was well known as an ‘unserious" student. I would often skip class or miss assignments. In reality, I was looking for something that fulfilled me.”
“In my first and second year, I ventured into other paths in life, trying to see where my heart would settle. I picked up odd jobs, teaching stints, and became a virtual assistant for a year, all while being a student. The thought of quitting crossed my mind multiple times. I felt no drive, passion, or motivation.”
“The four months of my review contained some of the hardest moments of my life. What began as a seed of doubt sprouted into a great tree. I considered delaying the exam, or even not taking it at all. But deep within me, there was a small fire of hope. I truly believe that God has a reason for why I'm here.”
She emphasized, “Lord, you are truly the maker of miracles. There are no words to capture the emotions in me. I am overwhelmingly grateful for the people that have supported me and believed in me despite the ups and downs of my journey.”
“Lord, this is all for you. You have given me the greatest gift of all—purpose,” she said.
Lord, now I see why you chose Nursing for me. Nursing was never my choice in college. Throughout my years, I was well...
