The revelries may have subsided right now especially in my mother school, the University of Pangasinan where this year’s topnotcher in the Nursing Board Exam graduated, Gringo de Guzman San Diego.

Well, aside from him, four other topnotchers are graduates of universities based in Dagupan. They are:

1. Russel Salvador Abalos ( top 8 ) - Lyceum Northwestern University
2. Benedict Nevado Mayo ( top 8 ) - Lyceum Northwestern University
3. Felipe Petras Sotelo Jr. ( top 8 ) - University of Pangasinan
4. Melody Aoanan Aquino ( top 9 ) - Lyceum Northwestern University

That makes five of the top 10 are from my beloved province, Pangasinan.

Kudos to all of you who passed this year’s nursing board exam. To those who were not successful, remember that failure is never final.
