Gusto mo bang mag-Med?

1. Pangarap ko talaga noon ang maging doktor. Sinabi ko noon sa nanay ko na balang araw ay mapapagawan ko siya ng bahay na kasing gara nung bahay ng doktor malapit sa'min. Kumuha ako ng B.S. Medical Technology dahil yun daw ang best pre-med course. Pero hindi lang med-realated courses ang puwedeng pang pre-med. Naalala ko yung clerk na kinukuhanan ng dugo yung pasiyente para sa Arterial Blood Gas. Naka-limang tusok na siya pero hindi pa rin niya na-hit yung ugat. Sabi niya, mas magaling daw yung mga kaklase niyang Med Tech. Pano ba naman, Food Tech yung pre-med niya. Pero okay lang yun. Dahil pwede ring maging doktor ang mga kumukuha ng: 1. B.S. General 2. Intarmed 3. B.S. Chemistry 4. A.B Humanities 5. B.S. Math 6. B.S. Chemical Engineering 7. A.B./B.S. Philosophy 8. B.A. Management 9. B.S.C. Management 10. B.S. Mechanical Engineering 11. B.S.
