As we all know, BS Nursing is the most in demand course today. Most of the nursing graduates in our country took this course maybe because they really want to be a nurse or mainly because their parents want them to. It’s nice to know that these people really want to be a nurse but it’s sad when they only did this for their parents. I, myself, am one of the students who’ll take up nursing because of my parents. Being an interior designer is my ambition but many, including my parents, said that being a designer won’t give me high salary and good opportunity. For me, high income or an opportunity of a lifetime is good but would I be happy with it. Every time my classmates or teachers would ask me what course I want to take up, I would answer them “Nursing!” and then say “because my parents want me to”. I, personally, don’t want to be a nurse mainly because I easily get nervous especially when the people around me are in panic. What would happen if I would be assigned in the emergency section? But, as what my other classmates would say, we don’t have a choice. If we don’t obey our parents, we won’t be able to go to college because our parents wouldn’t spend for other course.
My parents want me to be a nurse so I would follow them even though this means that I’ll be throwing my dream away. The admission test in Cebu Normal University had already started and I’m one of those who took the entrance exam. We were grouped according to our family names. I belong to cluster A and I’m at the 8th seat. There were Science, Math, I.Q. and Aptitude tests. It was hard but I’m hoping I could pass so that I would have many schools to choose from. I also took the entrance test in Cebu City Medical Center. We started at about 8:00 a.m. and we ended at 1:30 p.m. Unlike the test CNU, we were not grouped and they just permitted us to sit anywhere in the room. The test was also hard, but taking the exam in CNU helped me because the Aptitude and Science test was the same in CCMC.
I’m afraid that I might not pass the entrance tests I took but I hope I would. What would happen if I don’t pass? What course would I take up? Or would I still go to college? Even if I don’t want the course, I don’t want my parents to be disappointed of me. I know it’s not right to pursue others dreams but we don’t know; maybe my parents are right in their decision for me. I wish that someday I won’t regret on the acts that I have done and I would be successful in this field. If I’m given the chance and I still have time, I want to pursue my dream and take up Fine Arts. It’s realty true that you can never serve two gods at the same time.

I can sympathize with you, Ai. My mother also wants me to take up nursing. At first, I was very hesitant of the idea but with a little conviction, I learned to like it. Maybe you will also learn to like the course but if your heart is already set for arts, you can pursue it after graduating college just to make your mother happy.
