At that time, I was looking for review centers that could help me prepare for the MPLE, and I happened to stumble upon FEMPS on Facebook. Honestly, I was having a hard time deciding whether I should take it this year or wait for next year because I was also about to start a new job, and I already had prior commitments that could have conflicts with the review schedule. 

I knew that balancing a new job and board exam preparation would be challenging, but I also felt that if I really wanted to achieve it, I had to be willing to take on that challenge. Looking back, I feel like finding FEMPS at that exact time was the sign I needed. It felt like the universe was telling me that it was the right time to take the exam.

One of my biggest struggles was starting a new job while preparing for the board exam. I was still adjusting to my new role, so there were honestly times when I felt overwhelmed trying to balance work and review.

What helped me was focusing on how the two could actually support each other. The things I was learning from the review were very aligned with my new role in the company, and at the same time, my work was also helping me better understand some of the concepts I was reviewing.

Once I found that balance, the review became less pressuring and more motivating. Instead of seeing my job and the review as two separate responsibilities, I started seeing them as things that could help me grow together.

FEMPS helped me a lot throughout my review because of the complete inclusions and flexible ways of learning they provided. I am actually one of those people who does not want to study straight for hours because for me it can be a lot overwhelming, that is why I’m especially thankful that the review sessions had breaks in between the sessions.  And of course, the Taylor Swift songs Engr. Shiemka would play during the breaks made it even better, because one minute I was heartbroken, the next I was moving on, and sometimes I was a full-on lover girl. It also gave me time to relax, absorb and process what I had learned during the lectures. 

Aside from that, I appreciated that I could still go back to the lectures and other review materials during my free time. There were weekends when I needed to prioritize spending time with my family, and I could simply rewatch the lectures during the weekdays whenever I had the time. I could also go through the flashcards or answer practice tests instead.

For me, FEMPS made the review flexible and manageable. I appreciated that I could learn at a pace that worked for me without feeling like I had to absorb everything all at once.

I would like to thank Engr. Shiemka for her dedication and patience through our entire review period. She has always been very considerate and patient to us reviewees who were listening behind our screens. Even though we were not able to meet face to face, I could genuinely feel her support, and it gave me the confidence to face the exam and trust that I was ready to take it.

Of course, above all, I would like to thank God for guiding me throughout the review journey. There were definitely moments when I felt like giving up, but whenever I reached that point, I would ask for His guidance and strength to help me get back on my feet and trust that everything would fall into place in His time.

Looking back, I’m grateful for every challenge, every sleepless night, and every moment when I wanted to give up, because all of them became part of the journey that brought me to where I am today.
