  1. Although quite recently, what are the things you like about JCHS?

– Recently, I’m quite thankful to the school for inviting some of the guest speakers, some nurses, to give speeches at our school during the nurse’s day. Their speeches inspired me to strive for the best, not to give up and believe in myself that there’s nothing impossible.

  1. Can you share a memorable or funny moment you’ve had at JCHS?

– There’s a lot of memories I’ve made for the past almost 2 years in JCHS. One thing I would always remember and be grateful of was when I was told that I am one of the selected students for the Gleneagles Scholarship applicants and I got the opportunity to be interviewed. Almost missed the chances because I didn’t check my email during our break, but alhamdulillah, I didn’t miss the opportunity given and I was chosen as the scholarship recipient along with one of my classmates.

– Balancing studies with all the social activities or hobbies is very important to maintain our sanity. I always make sure to prioritize my task, make schedule, and make free time to interact with others and to do any of my hobbies.

  1. Who has been your biggest inspiration or mentor at JCHS?

– My biggest inspiration at JCHS has been Sir Nemencio Santoz. He often shares his story and journey in nursing, demonstrating his dedication both as a family man and a professional. He never forgets his responsibilities as a teacher and nurse, always guiding and supporting us. Personally, I admire his love for his family and career, and his teaching has greatly helped me in my academics.

  1. What do you do to relax and unwind after a long day of classes?

  1. How has JCHS helped you grow personally and professionally?

– JCHS has provided me with many opportunities to develop, especially during our clinical sessions. These experiences have equipped me with valuable skills and insights for which I am very thankful. I used to be a timid person, especially around strangers, but after our clinical sessions, my mentors Miss Julie and Ma’am Frida helped me greatly improve my personal skills, such as my communication with patients.

  1. What do you hope to achieve at JCHS, and what are your goals and dreams?

I also dream of becoming a clinical nursing specialist in the near future and hope to achieve that.

  1. Can you give tips and advice on how you maintain good grades in your studies?

– Every student has their own style of learning. For me, I sometimes maintain good grades by reading and cramming the notes given, though this is not an ideal method. Additionally, I use the Pomodoro technique, where I set a timer to review or complete a task for 30 minutes, take a 5-minute break, and then repeat the cycle until I finish studying. This method helps me maintain focus since I easily lose concentration. It allows me to review effectively while also relaxing my brain and preventing feelings of overwhelm.

  1. Would you recommend your family and friends to enroll in JCHS?

– I would absolutely recommend JCHS to my family and friends. The supportive environment here makes it a great choice for anyone wanting to pursue nursing. Although there are still some areas that need improvement since the college is new and we are the first intake, there is plenty of room for growth.

  1. Do you have anything you wish to say to the next Future Healthcare Leaders?

– To the next Future Healthcare Leaders, I hope you seize every opportunity that comes your way because these chances won’t come twice. Grab them or regret it. As future nurses, we should always keep learning because this journey is a lifelong one.
