Most of us Filipinos are fond of the American dream, even I admit that I wanted to go to United States to live the dream with the feeling of being able to do the things I wanna do and that includes buying big sizes of burger and fries, buying some trendy clothes, and being able to travel the world freely without financial constraints. So after graduating, I studied and took the NCLEX-RN exams for New York state, where the empire state building and all the bright lights in the city that never sleeps. My relatives are also in different parts of the US, so I think this is the closest far place where I can feel home.
Unknowingly, this is not where I would end up to be. I took different exams for a different country, and its in the opposite pole of the world, United Kingdom. It did went through so smoothly, until I finally realized that I was meant to be here. European land without any immediate relatives with me, yet I feel peace and contentment in my life. There isn't much place to see as compared with the loads of activities in the states. Then I wondered, Is this where I truly belong? I need to find an answer, and this awakening of my senses, with the calmness of my heart made my steady decision that it is truly a yes. This is where I belong.
