"I want to take up Medical Biology as my pre-med [pre-medical course]. Dati ko pang pangarap yun and sobrang excited akong i-announce at sobrang excited ako na makapasok ng school sa June," says Jodi Sta. Maria about her plan to work and study at the same time.

"Siguro kakain lang kami sa labas then dadalhin ko siya sa amusement centers."

According to Jodi, one of her long-term goals is to finish college.

"Siguro, ten years from now, I'll be a doctor by then.

"I want to take up Medical Biology as my pre-med [pre-medical course]. Dati ko pang pangarap yun, and sobrang excited akong i-announce at sobrang excited ako na makapasok ng school sa June.

"Alam kong hindi magiging madali because I'm working and we all know how demanding how school and work can be. But yun ang challenge para sa akin, para matapos."

She declined to say what school she plans to enter.

Does she plan to leave showbiz when she becomes a doctor?

"Hindi rin. Pero siguro once in a while [tatanggap pa rin ng project]. Kakayanin pa rin."

How does she deal with controversies being hurled at her now?

"I smile and say thank you," said Jodi, as a way of ending the interview.

    BS Biology is great Jodi, it really doesn't matter which one you'd pick, it could be BS Nursing or BS MT. It is very nice knowing that few of Pinoy celebreties has ambitions- like finishing their college education. Go for it. And good luck!

    you're a very good and versatile actress so i think you found your calling na. kung maging doktor ang goal mo, you have to be a full-time student and it's intense studying.but finish mo your undergrad and take it from there.

    naku, medicine takes 10 years at the very least because of the internship. Full time school pa yun. Malabo, unless you stop showbiz. Med schools have cut off age. But good luck with your endeavors. It never hurts to try.

    if she is serious about studying med science, she must invest time meaning its a fulltime commitment. i hope hindi lang eto pa impress.. sana gawin nya. iba parin ang may pinag aralan. pag d kana sikat at d na kumikita, at least meron kang sasandalan kung nakatapos ka.

    you have to act fast. some med schools have a cut off age. i think 40. goodluck! kakainspire mga ganitong artista. a fine actress na magaling sa craft niya but still aspires of finishing school and become a doctor. goodluck!

    Good luck, Jodi! I always admire people who, despite hectic sked, still find time to get a degree.

    I like her ever since. She's good as an artist and a private person. And I think she's being a good mother too.
