".... Truly she is a loving and

a lovable person."

brightest student in the Philippine Law

as successful, if not more."

"I took up law- to improve my social status

and learn- but it did not make me a better
nurse. But it gave me prestige, it taught
me to think, it gave me self-confidence, it
taught me to argue for nursing.
"My own image of tomorrow's nurse is one
who is broadly educated, cultured - not
merely well-informed but unafraid to
express her views since she is sure
whereof she stands - perceptive, creative
and constructively critical.
