Chapter 1

"Finally, after 4 years of hard work, We finally graduated. We are now licensed, nurses and I bet all of the parents here right now are so so proud of us all and I am also really happy and grateful that even though we encountered many challenges in our life for the past 4 years. We finally made it. I am gonna be honest with you all I didn't really prepare my speech for this cause I thought that it's even better than when I write it and memorize it, I wanted it to came from the bottom of my heart. I know all of us are getting emotional now I am too. For 4 years in studying here at Stone University, I learned that 'Do not let anything stop you' for all that we know some of our batchmates stopped because of stress and financial crisis and I am so proud for all of us that we overcame does hindrances and trials in life. I am once a victim of stress and depression, I thought that I couldn't finish my schooling but I suddenly remembered that if I don't continue all my parent's hard work and all of my time will be wasted and will be forever gone and I want to make my mom in heaven proud. So I decided to continue even though there's something that's pushing me not to continue but I still did. and for the last time, I want to say that I am proud of all of us who overcame does hindrances and I just want to congratulate us all"

I ended my speech by bowing to the audience and quickly went back to the front seat.

"Please applaud for our Summa Cume Laude, Alexandrine Haven" the host of the event or also known as our bio-chem teacher. Everybody clapped and some of them whistled and it's just so heart-warming that all of them supported me.

The Graduation ended quite well than I expected. Cause I actually expected that I will stutter in my speech and thankfully I didn't. "Yow, Alexa I just wanted to ask you what are your plans after officially becoming an RN?" Jave asked with curiosity "Well I am planning on becoming a military nurse" I answered "Really?" he looked at me at disbelief "How about you?" I asked "Well I am not that really sure" he said "Oh" I answered "Well see you later then" I added.

It's been quite a couple of months since that day and I still couldn't believe that I graduated and Tomorrow I am officially going to be a military nurse.

I packed my things and got everything that I needed and I am all good to go. But I am not that excited for tomorrow because after tomorrow I wouldn't see my family for a couple of months but I promised them that I wouldn't forget them. My flight tomorrow is a bit early I should probably sleep right now so that I have enough energy to face the new challenges in my life.

"I am gonna miss you guys so, so much" I said with tears in my eyes "Alexa don't such be a cry baby it's only a few months besides I will not miss you" my little brother teased me, I just pinched him in his right ear, he shouted and cried, probably because of the pain "Who's the crybaby now? " i laughed. I'm gonna miss them so much, We said our goodbye's and I borded the plane. I'm gonna miss this place so much but I gotta be strong so that I can make my family proud.

I looked thru the window and whispered "I hope you're proud of me mom"
