College application came and I was still struggling with what I want
versus what my parents want. My parents told me to choose a science-related
program so that it’ll be easier for me when I proceed to medicine. My only two
options were UP and IIT. I chose Food Technology in UP since it was about
food, and I enjoy cooking so I think I would enjoy it. In IIT I chose nursing just
because a lot of my schoolmates chose it. Fast forward, I received that I passed
UP. I was very happy since I got in my dream school and a program, I’m happy
with. I tried talking again with my parents; however, they still didn’t allow me
to take up Food Technology. The situation frustrated me which led to a heated
argument with my parents. In the end, they told me they’d allow me to study in
UP if my SASE score isn’t enough to enter nursing. We also came to a
consensus that if ever I get in nursing, I won’t be proceeding to medicine; that’s
how much I hated the idea of taking up medicine. Unfortunately, I was
qualified to enter nursing so here I am now.
It’s quite hard to study when you don’t like the program, you’re in.
However, I also hate failing so I will do my best here. The only reason why I
agreed with my parents to take up nursing was because they told me they
wouldn’t force me to proceed to medicine anymore and just go abroad, since it’s
easier to go abroad if you’re a nurse. I just hope one day, I will find a greater
reason on why I chose nursing than just wanting to go abroad and I hope I will
enjoy this program and not just try to finish it.
