Seemingly too ambitious...

" I could not even believe that all along I was too ambitious and that it's all I got that brought me to wherever I am now!" claimed Dr. Jerome Barera. Yes you read it right, he is a medical doctor.He was also once a tutor and a laundry boy turned student achiever. Dr.Barera is the son of a tricycle (local tuktuk) driver and a laundry woman. He is the eldest among 3 siblings. The meager income through hard labor by his parents was barely enough to let the ends meet. But through it all, he was able to go and finish his elementary till college in private schools and university. All thanks to the scholarships granted to him. He was the valedictorian for both elementary and high school batch. Graduating from college he also had garnered the award as cum laude. He then proceeded to wanting a degree in medicine so he went to study in the Western Visayas University College of Medicine, again a scholar. All through out his academic formation, Dr. Barera faced the daily difficulties of providing for his ver y basic needs. There were times that he attends classes on an empty stomach and satisfies only his hunger after doing paid laundry. Fast forward to the day when Dr. Barera can finally and legally appendage the infamous two letters M D in his name. It was for him all worth the effort. It was the light at the end of the tunnel. His momment of glory! Indeed the ends justifies the means...and the rest is now history. Dr. Jerome Barera is now a resident physician in the Internal Medicine Department of the Zamboanga City Medical Center...No more tutoring...No more paid laundry...No more empty stomach...He is looking his best with a smock on and a stethoscope over his shoulder. Now who can say what one can or can not become?
