I’m complete different from who I am now. Comparing from what I am when I was still a kid, teenager I can say, I CHANGED. I changed the way I think, I speak and I study! During my elementary days, I cannot consider myself as a “matalino or masipag”, I can’t see it on myself. I even don’t do my homework. What I just want is to play the whole day. If I only have control to my life that moment, I will not go to school anymore. I can still remember, my dad is reviewing me every weekends and free time. And after the elementary graduation here’s come another school year. Another four years of studying which I don’t do before. As I grow old I realized the value of education. I started to focus more on my schooling. I do now my tasks and set aside playing. I graduated my secondary level with flying colors.

QUIZ BEE COMPETITION
Last Tuesday, I and my high school friend Alysa was talking about the nursing quiz bee. We we’re teasing each other and planned to join the competition. I’m not the type of person who will join in a contest like this because I know I don’t have to courage and strength for it. But when my classmates and Miss Mahinay selected me as the representative of class I really can’t say “NO”. It is because Miss Mahinay chooses me and she has faith on me. But if I only have the courage to say no, I will. So she called me and said put my name on the paper and then….it’s done! I’m joining the competition.
It’s January 20, Thursday, at AVR 3pm. This is where the competition was held. I was being grouped with other levels. I met Kim, first year nursing student, Jessa, 2nd year, and ate Ana (topnotcher ng TCAP pala!!!!), 4th year nursing student. We all talked that no matter what happens we will accept it and it’s just a game. We sat near the professors. Mr. Ace asked me what your favorite subject is, I said “ANYTHING BASTA KAYA NG UTAK KO!”
The entire game ends well. We bagged the championship. We WONJ!!!. At first we we’re all nervous. My group mates said they were just picked on that day because they lack on contestants. And one more thing, after seeing the 3rd year participants, I was shocked! All of them are regulars and they had already their MS before and now PSYCHIATRIC NURSING. So I said to myself, Oh God! Help me with this.
Then the quiz bee started. On the easy round we got 8 points. On the moderate round we have 10 points. And on the Final round we got 18 points. We didn’t expect it to be on the final round. In the end we we’re declared as the champion after a long tie breaker round. I saw on Miss Mahinay’s face the disappointment after I answered CARDIAC OUTPUT instead of AFTERLOAD.! I heard she said, Naku, Mr. Asuncion, katuturo ko lng niyan! I smiled after I saw it. Yeah, its afterload. But it did not cross into my mind at all. I don’t know why I answered cardiac output. Another exiciting part of the game was when they asked what is the term for a person with no extremities. my groupmates don’t know what it is. I grabbed the chalk and board and write ANASTACIA. Holy shit! Who’s ANastacia???? So I erased my first answer and think again. I was asking them think of a girl’s name and it started with an “A”. After a few seconds of thinking I wrote AMELIA. Got it! Its Amelia and cant never be Anastacia. Thank God, I wrote it in just a nick of time.
In the final round Mr. Ace announced the 3 groups with highest scores. We we’re on the second place. Then after a final question, our group and group 4 tied on first place with a score of 33. We went on the tie breaker round. It’s Ma’am Mahinay who asked the questions. And these are the questions:
1. Give two condition where in abdominal palpation is contraindicated?
2. What is the color of IV cannula G24?
3. G26?
4. Color of needle in Spinal Anesthesia?
5. Birthday of Florence Nigthtingale?
6. New classification of drug for malaria?
7. First school who offers nursing?
The first six question was answered wrong or it’s because that we answered both correct. On the last question, I asked the first year student, do you know the answer? It’s because she is having her TFN. She replied no. even the two girls, I asked them the same question, and they answered no. so I guess it’s on my hand. If I answer it correctly there will be no another tie breaker question. I said to them. Its either UST or ILO-ILO MISSION. I wrote UST. While the other group answered Ilo-ilo mission. I said to them no matter what happens, we will accept it, win or lose! The last question brings me back to my first year here on Fatima. It’s Mrs. Mendoza who handled me on TFN. Good thing I remembered her lectures on the history of nursing here in the Philippines.
UST is the correct answer. It’s the question that made us won. We all jumped with joy, my group mates slap to me the board because of happiness. I really have fun that day. It’s my first time to join in a competition like this and we won. I learned a lot from this game, my groupmates. I developed sense of independence and self-esteem. JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ
EXAM RESULTS
Before we go on to our Christmas vacation, we first had our preliminary examination. The can say that year 2010 has been very good to me. After spending my Christmas and New Year vacation at Tarlac here comes the new chapter of my life as a nursing student. I really prayed for the results of my exams. All I wish is to pass the entire exam. It’s a blessing to be the topnotcher of MS and OR. I really did my best on the exams particularly in OR. And I know what the real story behind the MS exam is. I cannot say the details but I think all of us know it. I’m really happy that I passed all the exams, even in SOC4, PHI2 and NI I’m lucky enough to get a high score not as the topnotcher but I passed with high scores.
After knowing the results on MS and OR really have to review and understand more the concepts. Because there’s a lot of pressure I feel this time. I know it’s hard to accept if I fail the next examination. People are expecting more from me. I wish with all my knowledge and hard works I will still be the “topnotcher”. But if not, I will accept it with all my heartL.
