my journey
Hey there dear readers! if there are any, I am currently reviewing for the upcoming board exam. It's barely a month and half until the actual day which will be on the 29th and 30th of November. To be honest I am not yet ready up to now despite the fact that for the past 3 months I have been reviewing. Since day one of college I've never realized that I will be able to reach this far, It was never been in my line of interest to be a nurse -- not my childhood dream either. I live with arts but then on the fork road I didn't know where to go and so I gave in to what my mom suggested. I was skeptical about it but still I pursued it. It was topsy turvy for me, No question I enjoyed dealing with people both at school and in the hospitals during rotations but I almost quit at times because of the fact that this insane thing was bigger than my own brain though I never really shouted it loud, I just tried and wait for the college to oust me. Luckily, semester after semester I was still there. I realized that large amount of money had been capitalized just for me to finish college and found myself started praying that I maybe able to sustain and that eagerness has flickered more and more.
It was nearing the end of 3rd year when I was totally knocked out because of the pressure, I could not forget that very day. I had my assessment and was actually doing my requirements when I just fell like surrendering, I actually haven't slept -- I actually cried the whole night! I contacted my mom and she was able to convice me to just finish my duty that day and then just see what happens. I failed that semester which gave me the opportunity to explore things out. I transferred to another school and started a new battle, a battle that I was able to conquer. On graduation day I was marching, somehow proud of being there, seeing a new me.
Trully God has plans for all of us and yeah also for me despite the fact that somethings had frustrated me, he has redirected my path to a better one. If not for that failure, then I would have been another person maybe a weaker one or not. Important thing is that I've grown, I've improved and that's a lot of reconstruction made by God through everyone who had been part of my life. I am not a perfect person, i don't have a perfect family, i don't have the riches, i am not the ideal boy next door hunkie that everyone would take a second look to, I have frustrations, I have day to day stressors but hey I am happy or at the very least I am trying to be happy with what I have, I am the brighter side of what ever I have --making the most of what I have is the secret of how i've survived up to this very moment.
As I've said I will be taking the exam, this november and I am not ready but then I know i will never be and so I am taking this chance. I am hoping that it turns out good and I am not asking for your godd lucks, what I want you to do is to please pray for my success and believe that prayers do work. I am not a religious person,I don't regularly go to mass, I can't memorize the rosary or the saints and even the responses to the priests dialogue, I have sinned in actions words and thoughts but I can attest of the power of prayer. So I am asking you now to pray not just for me but for anything that you need and believe that in it. God Bless You Everyone I hope that sooner or later you'll be able to love the life that you have and the self that you are to be trully happy and thankful for what ever you'll have soon.
O St.Joseph of Cupertino who by your prayer
obtained from God to be asked at your examination,
the only preposition you knew.
Grant that I may like you succeed in the December (Nov. 29-30) 2008
Nurse Licensure Examination.
In return I promise to make you known
and cause you to be invoked.
O St. Joseph of Cupertino pray for me
O Holy Ghost enlighten Me
Our Lady of Good Studies pray for me
Sacred Heart Of Jesus, Seat of divine wisdom,
enlighten me.

A Prayer to St. Jude Thaddeus
Most Holy Apostle, St. Jude Thaddeus, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of his enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors you, and I invoke you as the special advocate of those who are in trouble and almost without hope. Help me to realize that through our faith we triumph over lifes difficulties by the power of Jesus who gave his life for us. Come to my assistance that I may receive the consolation and succor of heaven in all my needs, trials, and sufferings, particularly (here make your request) and that I may praise God with you and all the saints forever.
St. Jude, apostle of the Word of God, pray for us.
St. Jude, follower of the Son of God, pray for us.
St. Jude, preacher of the love of God, pray for us.
St. Jude, intercessor before God, pray for us.
St. Jude, friend of all in need, pray for us.
St. Jude, pray for us, and all who invoke your aid.
Thank You Saint Jude for answering my prayers.
