True, education has always been important for me and when I reached my 30th, I really thought I had to do something about my life... and so here I am... a Registered Nurse and planning to pursue more studies to further my nursing career.<BR/><BR/>I worry about my son wanting to go away from me when he starts uni... just my luck, he might choose to go somewhere rediculously far away from me like Edinburgh... I hope he doesn't though.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing Nic xxxGraciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12348973367937700470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-893382820838313939.post-757134388105823432008-07-22T07:13:00.000-07:002008-07-22T07:13:00.000-07:00I think university life has profound affect to our...I think university life has profound affect to our lives, it really makes us who we are! I chose Kingston because i wanted to move away from and i couldnt picked a better place. it's such a gorgeous place! I went to do English Literature, it was certainly a struggle but im really glad i didnt give up because now I say I have accomplished my degree :)♡ Nic Nic ♡https://www.blogger.com/profile/16070137301920825252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-893382820838313939.post-47580215069598444182008-07-19T12:38:00.000-07:002008-07-19T12:38:00.000-07:00Hiya, Phoebe!

I've had similar history but I was determined to eventually graduate with this one. One thing I'm proud about being part of The University of Nottingham is that this was the instution where the sophisticated Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was invented and during my studies, I have had the opportunity to work with the top surgeons in the country and in the world. It's been absolutely fantastic learning with them... an experience one can only be proud of :)... Oh! No worries about long comments... I love them ;)... Hey! You do really like going around various schools ha ha ha! ;)<BR/><BR/>Oh, sis Nikki! Thank you! Well, I could never praise the university enough... it has got so much to give! :)<BR/><BR/>Oh, Thank you sis Shen! Oh... I love being 'Ate' (sister that is for those who don't speak nor understand Tagalog). I think, wherever we go and whatever we do, we always find something to moan about. Me and my friends used to moan and ask the point of writing thousands and thousands words of assignment and when we get lower grade than we expected 9even if it's pass)... we'd say... 'What else do they want?'. At the end of the day sis, it's our career that we are working hard for... we have goals to achieve and the instutions are just there to give us the favour of reaching and achieving those goals. One day sis! That would be you up on the stage collecting your cerificate and I'm sure it'll be one of the happiest moment in your life. We can order a dvd of our graduation for £20 each... would it be worth it? ;)Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12348973367937700470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-893382820838313939.post-48982378438806830402008-07-19T05:36:00.000-07:002008-07-19T05:36:00.000-07:00i hated most of my school ever since... not a good...i hated most of my school ever since... not a good start i know. But i am proud proud of it. why? because it is partially responsible for molding the person that i am right now. I am happy that despite the trials each school has given, i have risen above it and proved to them that i am worthy(though no proving needed).<BR/><BR/>My class and I right now have a love and hate relationship but i'm sure one day when i give my testimonial as a new lawyer, i will have a good words to say about my school..<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, i just want you to know that you are an inspiration to me. A "ate" that i admire.<BR/><BR/>I don't know very well, but i am very proud of you, Ate Gracie!Shenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804917419892949143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-893382820838313939.post-30103031490292044122008-07-19T00:13:00.000-07:002008-07-19T00:13:00.000-07:00If I have a school/university, I would love to hav...If I have a school/university, I would love to have you as my student as you are such a great student.

I failed to congratulate you earlier but I bet it's not yet too late. :)<BR/><BR/>I've been to (counting...) 7 schools myself and am very proud of each institution. I wrapped up my kinder year as a valedictorian in this new preschool in 1988. The preschool is owned by the then director of Southridge (coincidentally, where my boyfriend went). I went to St. Scholastica's College-Manila for high school and I still think that it's the best choice I made (so far...I was invited by 2 other exclusive schools but chose SSC even if it's so far from my house). SSC trained me very well in public speaking, theatre, and arts which come in (beyond words) handy in my hosting and make-up gigs today. College, I went to DLSU-CSB. I could've gone elsewhere but my college offered me 100% sports scholarship. How cool is it that you can play for your school (and the country, I was part of the Philippine Pool for Field Hockey) and study for 4 years for free? ;)<BR/><BR/>heeeheee I can go on and on with the institutions that helped me become the person that I am today. Dented and imperfect yet still up and running. At (almost) 25, am still studying, working my way to become a reputable chef someday.<BR/><BR/>*sigh* Getting schooled is my most expensive yet most fulfilling vice. :)<BR/><BR/>(Sorry long comment! heehee)Phoebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07093867323201246028noreply@blogger.com
