HEARTBEAKING EUPHORIA..missing them..

MARCH 2008:

"I can’t believe my internship’s over…"
"I can’t believe i managed to finish all my interviews"
" I can’t believe our thesis is done"

This month’s full of disbelief…i guess it’s because everybody managed to accomplished everything we need in order to go up the stage as a B.S Medical Technology graduate.

All of us are so ecstatic about the fact that everyday..we’re an inch closer to getting up the stage and graduating..
But despite the joy..we’re all a little bit sad inside..think about it..it all seemed like yesterday that we were gathered inside Biolab A..shy and timid..and now we’re a month away from graduating..
We can’t seem to grasp the idea that a month from now, we won’t be meeting each other everyday anymore. We won’t be with each other as often as we’d like..We won’t be doing the things we’ve done for the past four years..
No more sleepovers..no more copying of answers..no more hanging out during breaks..no more brainstorming..no more pissing each other off..and most of all..no more of the words," classmates photocopy,nth pesos", "nkapainterview ka k mam muni na topic?", "aurgh..epistaxis "

Things that were taken for granted for the past 4 years will be greatly missed..i guess this is what the words "beginning of the end " means..

It was pretty tough, swimming through 4 years of medical technology training..all those nosebleeds and brain-wrecking quizzes, assignments and examinations..but we managed to surpass it all, and come out wanting more..

do we really want more or are we just not ready to let go of each other?…hmmm..i guess its a little bit of both..in the PHARMED department.. we found friends.. we found love.. we found joy and tears, but most of all we found a FAMILY..

Its kind of overwhelming looking back at everything we’ve done just to have this one opportunity..it was four years of anxiety, 12 months of sleepless nights because of duties, 2 weeks of burning the midnight oil just to study, and 2 days of nearly having nervous breakdowns just thinking about the results of the comprehensive examinations..all these in exchange for just a day of recognition, and not more than an hour of commencement exercises.

I guess, us, parting ways does not really mean that we’re gonna forget each other altogether, but i guess its hard to let one another go because of all the things we’ve been through..Just thinking about the fact that one of these days, we’ll wake up and realize that we’re not gonna go to school anymore, that we’re not gonna put on our uniform and spend the whole day in the laboratory..

It really is hard letting go of the things we are used to doing, and the people we are used to spending everyday with, but nothing is permanent..sacrifices and risks are never absent if you want to grow and if you want to succeed.. i guess graduating is something that enables you to explore new horizons, with the assurance that when you go back to where you started, the people, who were with you before, would still be there..waiting for you..

its hard to let go of the hands you used to hold unto, when you were feeling insecure, but i guess now, i need to let go of those hands, and grow..but my hand will always here if those whom i was falling back on, would need it..i know that when i go back to the beginning, they will still be theer..

Congratulations, guys..we made it..we really are survivors..thanks for all the memories..and for everything you taught me..inside and outside of the classroom…

Because of you, i grew up..i came out of my shell..and i became an explorer..a risk taker, and someone strong..

Graduation isn’t the end coz once people make a bond that’s strong..distance in miles will never break it..the only thing capable of breaking it is the distance in your hearts..

There were a lot of things that happened to us that were unbelievable..but if we’re looking at what the results are, and the achievements we had..its all that matters..the past..the hardships..it’s just clutter.

MT BATCH 2007-2008===We had a blast..its time to take that and let others experience it..

HOSPITAL STAFF===Thank you..although we had it tough..we really learned alot..

USA CLIN.LAB STAFF—Thanks for always being there..we couldn’t have done it without you..body fluids and tests will never be taken for granted..ever again..thanks for the push..because of that..we’re near the top..

MA’AM VICKY- Tnx for understanding..you did us a really big favor..

DEAN ONG=== Thanks for all the opportunities..

GRADUATION..is not the beginning of the end, its just a beginning..a start of a new chapter..and as the song goes," every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end"..

AT PRESENT:

We all passed our licensure examinations..We are now REGISTERED MEDICAL TECHNOLOGISTS.

Some of us are resting..preparing for a new chapter..may it be AMT, ASCPI or MEDICINE life..
Most of us are now practicing the skills we've learned so intensely..

We have gone our separate ways, guys..but we will always remain as one..MEDTECH FAMILY BATCH '07-'08

(I miss them a lot..huhuhuhu)
