Hello Guys, I'm gonna put my timeline of experience here from the time I worked as a medical technologist in the Philippines up until I got hired in the US. The journey towards fulfilling my American dream was very difficult but with God, it was made possible.
Here started my journey as a medical laboratory scientist:
Well, the primary formula of my timeline is patience. I learned to be patient because I need to work for my family. God is my provider. I also took part time for reliever jobs to augment for my certification exams. I realized that nothing's good with rushing things because it will just produce bad outcomes.
I hope that this blog will inspire you to never stop dreaming! Keep working on your dreams and put your strong faith in God. He is a good companion. He will never leave you in the process. Believe in yourself as well!

Although, there was a delay in my US employment but it didn't make me feel disappointed and instead I put my firm trust to God that everything's gonna be alright. Because of the COVID outbreak I also understand the company's concern to halt the deployment since it's also risky to put our lives in danger. Much more the number of cases are still up and there's no vaccine yet as of this writing. During the lockdown period, I spent my time doing the things that I love and enjoying the remaining my time with my family. I believe that everything has a reason.
Well, the primary formula of my timeline is patience. I learned to be patient because I need to work for my family. God is my provider. I also took part time for reliever jobs to augment for my certification exams. I realized that nothing's good with rushing things because it will just produce bad outcomes.
I hope that this blog will inspire you to never stop dreaming! Keep working on your dreams and put your strong faith in God. He is a good companion. He will never leave you in the process. Believe in yourself as well!
