ex-pat

Back when i was a child.. I ever wanted to be a teacher just like my aunts and also to fulfil my dad's utmost dream of becoming a teacher. I never thought of becoming a nurse. I actually hate the nurse who gave me those vaccines back then. I am scared because their face resembles like a needle to me.. funny because after two decades, here i am working as a nurse... working miles away from home. Dati, ang wish ko sa buhay ay makasakay lang ng airplane, makakita lang ng snow at makipag-kaibigan sa ibang lahi. di ko naman inexpect na makapag-aral sa ibang bansa, makapasyal sa ibat-ibang lugar, maranasan kung paano maging isang OFW.. before i never understood why OFWs are called heroes... When i experienced to be one of them, yeah.. i think we should be called heroes... We are heroes not because of our salary.. its because we endure being away from our love ones, homesickness, we think twice weather to eat in a fancy resto or buy things because once we convert the price into peso we will say SAYANG... OFWs are heroes because they want the best for their family.. And I salute to every OFWs like me who continues to give the best for their family and for their country. Pero sana may ma-generate na trabaho ang government so that we dont need to be away from our families..
