On the way

In a couple of days from today I will be walking the final walk. A distance not more than 2 meters or so, a mere 2 meters but it definitely mean so much. On April 3, 2009, another one from the Perez-Fonacier line will walk towards a college diploma.Its been said that in a certain level of education a diploma is the one most sought after. In my case,I beg to differ.

My 4 years in college was no walk in the park. There were sleepless nights, beating deadlines, enormous books, back breaking duties, nose bleed recitations, and those tormenting exams and quizzes. A typical scenario in a nursing student's life if you might say. Lessons were learned, things were discovered. I cannot consider myself as an expert or some sort nor do i see myself working as a full pledged nurse just about now. I am but a novice, still with a lot to learn and a lot to discover.

If there is one thing I can be trully proud of, it would definitely be how this experience changed me drastically. This idea not only includes the knowledgde, the skills nor the attitude but more. A drastic transformation occured from then to now. I used to be this slacker who couldnt care less of anything but the things i can benefit from but now it all opened up to a whole new perspective. I learned to appreciate time,appreciate rest, appreciate friends, appreciate family and appreciate God. Life is but tough for all of us but if we could just appreciate everything that is right in front of us, maybe just maybe we can be more happy.

Life can be unfair at times, given some circumstances but this can be of help just when we least expect it. I have been fooled, bullied, and treated unfairly by classmates, professors, and even friends. For some time, the bitterness crowded my soul I am not even sure if im free of it totally but its not much of a bother anymore. It thought me how to adapt to life's cruelty and uncertainty. We will all be fooled and abused at some point in our lives, the question there is when and how prepared will you be. In my advantage, i have been hurt so many times even by the people i love thats why whenever time will come that it will happen again, i will be more prepared and ready to act.

Its kinda silly of me to turn this blog entry from graduation to life, oh well it is still related.. isnt it? :)
