i always want change. i am the kind of person who cares a lot. as a student nurse, we are having duties on hospitals like PGH. we all know that it is the largest public hospital in all 7, 107 islands of the Philippines. i have been there several times already for duties and outreach programs and i have seen, for several times also, the struggles of the patients staying there. could you believe that some patients stay at the corridors? no doubt, it employs the best, most efficient doctors of our nation... but still!
i can never change that fact- that the main public hospital of our country is like that. but i just told myself 'whatever it takes, i'll make change and i'll have contribution to PGH.'
it was our nursing day last wednesday and the Red Cross Youth Council, our school's chapter, organized a blood donation drive. the moment i saw the poster, i didn't think twice. i came in the room and inquired if i can donate blood. i was afraid, of course! the humungous needle freaked me out. nevertheless, this is the change i seek. i cannot do big things so i figured out that that was it.
one bag of my blood can save one life in PGH. i am proud of what i did :)
