There are also some folks who sometimes question me why I did not pursue my nursing career. As I think about it - yes indeed I reached far with my degree. I'm not bragging but I was able to graduate with latin honors in college. I was always been a diligent student. I took up Nursing to pursue Medicine. I even took the NMAT already. Well, let's just say there are many significant experiences in my life that moved me not to pursue it.
There are simple joys that really mean a lot that would lead us to prioritize what matters most in our lives. I still love Nursing. I will always do. It is always of great help. We have this subject Maternal and Child Care Nursing which I can still apply in my family.
Right now, we don't have a baby yet. But I love being a wife. I just stay at home since I also have a home based job. My world revolves around chores and preparing for my future family. Even if I did not really pursue my intended career, education will always give an edge to any person. It helped me to be a well rounded person who can compete with the demands of work.
Here's a very inspiring message from Elder D. Todd Christofferson
“Some view
homemaking with outright contempt, arguing it demeans women. … They
ridicule what they call ‘the mommy track’ as a career. This is not fair
or right. We do not diminish the value of what women or men achieve in
any worthy endeavor or career … but we still recognize there is not a
higher good than motherhood and fatherhood in marriage. There is no
superior career. … Whatever else a woman may accomplish, her moral
influence is no more optimally employed than here.”
