A pat on my own shoulder, encore.

Yeah...the thrill seeker, the partygoer and the drinker did it again!!!

What is it?

TJ got another A! Again? Again? Again?

The Goal within 20 years.

Last year, I got the certificate from KCC(i took their Spring 2004 ARCH class) and the State of Hawaii to operate a carehome facility. That plan was put aside pro tempore to meet the demands of my schooling. After I get my RN degree, I'll be more confident to operate one. Then, I can apply my skills in Business Administration and Nursing. In God's time, I'd like to branch out in California and Nevada where a carehome facility is also deemed a lucrative business. I already did a feasibility study on this one. The healthcare business in the next 10-20 years will boom like crazy since the baby boomers(a worldwide phenomenon)would all be needing healthcare services all at the same time. This will be chaotic that we would be needing more nurses and caregivers here and abroad. The Federal Government would be short on its budget to send all the elderlies to nursing homes which costs $7000/mo compared to a carehome that would only cost them around $1,200-2000/month(case to case basis) datum: 2005. When all goes well, I can get my masters in Healthcare Management or Masters in Business Administration perhaps in UCLA or Harvard(either or) or Univ of Pennsylvania-Wharton School of Business. I'd like to advance the business to a retirement home in the long run. My function would be more of an administrator than direct bedside care. In this case, I could help my relatives in the Philippines to work for me and improve their lives here in the United States. My sister who is a doctor can also contribute her knowledge on the game. With this goal in mind, I always strive for excellence and perservere on my studies as if my energy is boundless. Eventhough, I wipe the asses of unknown patients, I know it'd be a good training ground for my dreams to materialize. The end here afterall is not making money although it's incidental. It is extending my arms of helping other people in a grander scale. Nothing is written in stone. I just keep my faith in God that everything could happen in His time.
