Salut. The name is Ivy. She gets a year older every 18th November. Butterflies aren't really on her List of Nice Things. She loves her BFFs and TENNIS :D. Okay, and she doesn't know what else to say so she will stop here.

Our Motivational Speech To Us

by Lubna Shah on Saturday, August 14, 2010 at 10:41pm

For those who wanted to see this on FB. here's the pledge!

I must remember that I worked hard to get into NUS and hence should make this journey worthwhile.

I must remember that if I can't do this for my sake, then I must atleast do it for the sake of my patients.

But I must still do it for my sake.

Because no one is going to pull up my CAP score for me, pay attention for me during lecture or attend my exams, but myself.

I must remember that an hour past midnight today is many hours of sleep in class the next day.

I must remember that a lecture class without lecture notes, is like an arrow without its arrowhead. There is no point.

I must remember that although there will always be people coming later than me for class, there are 80 others who are earlier.

I must remember that if I don't make it, Prema (or insert Sponsor's name) will hunt me down and breathe down my neck.

I must remember.

I must remember that looking for journal articles can be ridiculously hopeless and that technology can be a pain in the ass, so never. start. late.

I must remember that being a nurse automatically makes white look good on me.

I must remember that it is more important to don the white uniform and automatically be a good nurse.

I must remember that someone, on some bed, in some hospital, will be a happier human being because I will be capable of providing him good and safe nursing practice.

Lastly, I must remember

because I cannot

afford

to forget.

I found this on Facebook and it was written by a senior of mine. Although I don't know personally I found it very inspiring and really serves as a good reminder to be constantly motivated.

I'm starting to think it might be my calling after all; I don't wanna sound like a religious poop gabbering blind statements, but since no one ever visits this place anymore so screw it. Oh and I'm really kinda relieved since all my friends were complaining about being so lost in their current studies; wanyu has been whining about it everywhere, on her blog, on facebook, my cousin has been whining about her A levels and distaste for science, random people whining about their studies etc.

Me? I'm just poor. HAHAHA.
