This is a backgrounder of why I am one of your students in Microbiology here at Oxnard College.When I decided to change my career, it was more of fulfilling my childhood dream rather than returning to the work force. I have always wanted to be doctor but growing up in a big but financially handicapped family in the Philippines, it was very hard to enter the medical school even if academic scholarships had been offered. So, I became an accountant instead. Being the eldest in a brood of eight (I have seven brothers, whew!), working my way through college and then eventually being the breadwinner when I started a family of my own, I can say that I am really a hard working and compassionate individual. So, when I got married again in 2006, my husband gave me the option of either I stay with the work force or fulfill my dream of getting into the medical field but not as a doctor but as a nurse. I never had second thoughts about it. Microbiology is a part of the prerequisite to get into a nursing program and this is the reason why I am taking this course.
The first two weeks in this course had already inspired me to learn more about the world of microbes. I know this would be a fascinating learning experience for the students. I just hope that each one of us in class will do well with the theoretical as well as the practical side of the course.

Confirmed.
ReplyDeleteI know it is tough to go back to school, especially when you have a family. But I am glad you are pursuing your dreams. We are certainly glad to have you in class!
