Filipina is a nursing student from the Philippines who had to take a part-time job just to pursue her studies.

Rushing out of the house
You’ll always say “Hi, Tito
Got to catch the bus
Got lot of things to do.”
Catching a glimpse of you
I can’t help it but to sigh
Knowing the life you’re into
Oh! Filipina you’re caught in a bind.
With a widowed mother
Trying to meet both ends
Siblings have burdens to share
But education, all must attend.
A nursing student in the morning
Filipina has to attend to other things
A part-time job in the evening
Just to earn some extra earning.
For five long years
T’was her daily routine
I wonder if the end is near
That the fruit of her hardship be finally seen.
Then one morning, she came to me rushing
Holding a newspaper, she’s smiling
“Hi, Tito”, I got good news to share
“What my child”, I answered.
She came closer and showed me the page
It reads” List of New Nurses”
Filipina Medina, true indeed
My child your hardship has not come to waste.

ReplyDeleteit made me miss my Nursing struggles days, and i miss those white uniforms..so sad i wasn't able to try to a tertiary Hospital :( now my colleagues were all abroad.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Filipina! I am sure you'll go a long way with your diligence and hard work!
ReplyDeleteCongrats,Filipina and now you have a bright future. Being a working student is better than to take a student loan which caused you debt in your whole life.
ReplyDeleteI have finished my BSED the same way she did, juggling work, school and helping family to put food on the table and it is such a sweet success to be able to reach your goals that way. Hats off to her and I cannot even imagine how she managed her time being a nursing student coz that is such a toxic medical course. Way to go, Filipina:)

ReplyDeletecongrats to Filipina. she so great for doing a pretty hard course and at the same time working. i have big admiration for students who do well in school and work at the same time. naalala ko tuloy when i was in college, i got hired in Jollibee without my family's knowledge kasi i want to experience sana kaso on my first day and when i came home late night wearing a jollibee uniform, napagalitan ako and i was asks to stop. :(
