HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR. HELEN C. ESTRELLA!

“When I took up Nursing, my dream was to teach. When my parents convinced me to take up Nursing, I insisted on Education because that was my passion. But I realized my parents were right. I have the best of both worlds here. One, I was able to make it as a Nurse. Two, I get to fulfill my dream of becoming a Teacher which is relatively fulfilling as of this time.

I know everybody goes abroad because of the very pleasant scenario, but if I’d go out of the country, if God permits, that would be to avail myself of scholarship grants and taking sabbatical leaves for that matter. My experience with UC and the country in teaching the beginners is incomparably satisfying.”
