Tell us one thing you hope people say about you?.#Daily writingprompt. #Honesty #Caring or #kindness.

I have so many things that people will remember about me.One thing that I hope people would say about me is that I am an honest woman. Honesty has put me in trouble on so many occasions to the extent that at a point I felt defeated and almost gave up. I was frustrated because I found it difficult to be dishonest. I left my place of work and took a traveling assignment to Northern California .It was the handwork of God. When a situation that required me to be honest arrived I stood tall as my father taught me.The director asked why is it that every nurse that took care of Mr Xyz gave this medication even though the doctor had discontinued the medication. I sat down and thoroughly reviewed the doctor’s orders. I told her that the doctor discontinued the medication after the medication has been given to the patient for days,and the doctor finally realized that the patient does not need that medication. She look me without a word.But she understood me perfectly. It was the day that I gained her confidence and respect.

On that day I believed that it was in 2014 but I couldn’t recall the exact month.I fell in love with the hospital and my director. I went to the breakroom kneeled down and thank my God. I have found a place where honesty is a Virtue and that was at Regional Medical Center of San Jose, California. I became sick and was forced to resign my employment in 2020.

I am also caring and kind hearted.Even though some might see my giving nature as showing off.I actually see it as a weakness. I recalled when I didn’t have money so I sold some of my jewelry that was bought by me and gave the money to my husband. Those jewelry sets were never replaced till today.

There were too many cases.I spent a week in the hospital taking care of accident victim who is not related to me and I almost lost my opportunity to continue my National youth service because I was no where to be found. I remembered when I was working at ARMC I gave my shoes to a homeless man who had no shoes to wear.I ended up working around without shoes until a nurse named Jovy RN loaned me her old nursing shoes. I gave money to my poor helpless patients out of kindness. One of them just finished insulting me I still gave him $20.00 because he wanted buy snacks and other things. He is paraplegic. People often think that I have surplus that is why I give.But most often it was my last card.

In 2008 one of the masters degree student borrowed the last money I had from me during lunch.I ended up not eating after a long time I was feeling very hungry. I had to borrow five dollars from another student and refunded her the next day.
