Of High Hopes and Dreams

Been thinking. Could it be that I was/AM just overwhelmed by the operating room setting? Been thinking.

..just an ordinary college student, hoping to get 80 at the least in all subjects.

Been kidding a lot on giving discounts on 'future' (dammit) deliveries and C.S. for my female block mates.

Been telling my mom that I won't settle abroad and be a thousand-earning nurse---following the foot steps of my older siblings.

Been telling her, I'm going to proceed to medicine afterwards and hoped that she would support me.

Been asking who else in my batch are going to proceed to med.. Surgery is mostly what I hear as specialization.

Been seriously thinking about it . .

I have high hopes for myself for the humble reason that it's not fortune really that matters. It's how you make yourself to be someone of use. It's one's sense of fulfillment.

My mom asked me to go for it and was very supportive which surprised me A LOT because she was the one who kept on pushing me to just settle on Nursing.

"Nay, magdo-doktor ako."

"E 'di sige. Kaya mo ba?"

Napaisip ako. Napasubo ata ako. Hindi naman ako matalino para mag-ambisyon ng pagiging doktor. Pero, gusto ko e.

"Pag gusto, kakayanin."

"Ano klaseng doktor ba ang gusto mo?"

"OB-Gyne (Obstetrics & Gynecology) ho."

"Aba, mahirap yan, anak. Pero mas hahanga ako sa'yo kung magpa-public servant ka pag doktor ka na."

Ang galing pala manghula ng nanay ko?
