DAY 1: Years from now.

As mentioned on my previous entry, I'm doing this 30-day challenge to kill time, and also to reconcile with the part of me that I seemed to have lost.

Okay, so for DAY 1: What do you want to be when you grow older?

I can end this challenge with just one word -- SUCCESSFUL, but that would be vague, and that really wouldn't answer the question "What". So I shall reconstruct and expound on my answer.

Working with numbers and logic -- that's how I saw my future back when I was still a kid since both my parents are engineers and I really look up to them. Math has always been one of the things I love, until I went to college. I decided to deviate my interests to what I was forced to like -- science, anatomy, memorization, things that I was never really good at because I was taking up nursing. I was bombarded with tons of information about the human body, the function of our organs, medicines, medical and nursing interventions, nursing laws and everything related.

My dreams of living with math my whole life hasn't really been consigned to oblivion, working in the medical field, we are expected to know very well our dosages and solutions, and our skills with math and pharmacology has everything to do about it. Going back to the question for this day's challenge, and setting aside my ardor for math (forgive me for the incoherence, i just have so many thoughts in mind), I want to be a successful professional in the medical field. I am currently a registered nurse and also a certified renal nurse, I have undergone necessary trainings and is willing to know a lot more -- I just haven't started with my journey yet, not until I'm finish and pass my NCLEX.

I don't want to be just a typical nurse doing her job, writing nurses notes, giving patients their medications and performing interventions as ordered by the doctor only because she's there for the salary and experience. I want to be that one-of-a-kind nurse that does more than what she's expected to do, I wanna be my patients' friend too. I want to leave a mark on each of them and be remembered -- that there was this nurse who cared for them and loved them as if they're her family.

Apart from being happy and successful with my career, I want to be successful as well with having a family of my own. I don't think I'm too young to think about my future family life, but some things are just better planned than spontaneous, don't you think? I want my to have a wonderful life, happy and contented, get married and have kids. I want to be a loving wife and an understanding mother years from now -- when I already have a stable job and a salary enough to support my family.

I want to be in a place where love is unrestrained and contentment is within reach. Someday, I'll be that someone -- happy, successful, contented and loved. Years from now I want to be that lady, free from regrets, has triumphantly learned from her life experiences and mistakes and has successfully lived her dreams.

and I'll get there cause I believe that I will and I work my way towards my goal.
