My name is Irish Eunice A. Felix and I am 21 years old, I live in 45 Dominguez St, Malibay Pasay City.
I was born in July 23, 1999 at Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital. My mother’s name is Maria Cristina M. Amalin
and she lives at Santa Rosa City Laguna together with my 15 years old sister and she’s an encoder at the Creotec. My
father’s name is Leonardo B. Felix and we live in the same compound but he’s not my guardian. I have one sister,
her name is Merienne A. Felix, we are very close and shared almost the same interest in dream job, music, genre’s in
movies, series, etc. I took up nursing because when I was 6 years old my grandmother had a stroke paralysis, by
then I promised her that I would be the one to take good care of her and I really want to help people because that’s
what makes me happy. As time goes by, I realized that nursing is really my calling, I’m enjoying every parts of it,
every struggle, every challenges, every hardships, I even cried my heart out when my mom told me to take
Education because I really love nursing.
For my personal strength, for me it’s my positive mindset, I always found a way to turn bad
things/experiences/perspectives into a positive ones. I always believe that there’s good in people. I’m also a little bit
of perfectionist myself, I don’t really know if this will be considered as a strength but for me, it helps me to be more
creative, productive and neat.
For my personal weakness, I forgive easily. Even if I wanted to stay mad at people for the things they’ve done to
me, I always failed because at the end of the day, I still wished them all the best that life has to offer. I also trusted
people too easily that leads us to my heartache whenever they lied to me.
For my traumatic experience, to be honest I can’t really bring myself up to talk about this but I know that this is a
safe space so here it goes. I was raped when I was 7 years old, I kept it for years all to myself because I was so
scared to tell my parents and the fear of my neighborhood knowing the situation. When I was in Grade 7, I’ve
finally had the courage to tell it to my parents and they did everything to take action but it was too late, then my fear
became true when my neighbors knew the story until they would call me names that leads me to transfer to my
mom’s house in Laguna. I heard made up stories over and over again, judging me for what happened eventhough
they don’t even know the whole story.
When I was in SHS, 3 years ago, 2 weeks before are SHS graduation, My friends and I booked a resort to celebrate
our pre graduation. There’s food, swimming pool, videoke and even alcohol. That’s where I got molested by my so
called “tropa” where he followed me to the comfort room and blocked my way out and tried to rape me. I pushed
him so hard that leaded him to fall into the ground and I’m aggressively told him that if he’s not going to stop, I
would scream at the top of my lungs, then he left me there. I fall unto the ground as I cried because my trauma in
childhood hit me up again. My (ex) friends found me in that situation then asked me what happened so I told them.
When I told them, they didn’t even believe me. They chose to believe that boy who molested me. To cut the long
story short, that boy came up to me after graduation, apologizing and owned up to what he did.
For my significant experience, before Covid hits, my family and I yearly went to Puerto Galera to celebrate New
Year. It was always so enjoyable and it made me euphoric to spend new year with my family that I love.
5 years from now, I’m a Registered OR nurse, working at my dream hospital; in SG or Canada, paying back
all the help that they’ve been given to me, buying my mom her own house, helping my sister to pursue “our”
dream job as a Cardiothoracic Surgeon. I’m also thriving to my selected field and waking up happy every day
because I would go to work into my dream job.
My year expected to graduate is 2022. I’m so excited and thrilled at the same time knowing that we got 3 semesters
left til our clinical graduation. I really wish that these 3 semester will help us input all the knowledge and skills that
we will need soon when we get our license. But for now, the only thing that we can do is to help ourselves to be
productive and study very hard to prepare for our NLE/NCLEX.
