We all have struggles

"If you can DREAM it you can Do it"

This was my motto in life all throughout my 4 years of studying medicine. Looking back to my dream in pursuing graduate and post graduate studies seemed chasing the wind in the past. Until this option become my choice, the choice that brought me to where I am today. 

Along this journey, I will not deny, that there are times I wanted things to be easier. Hoping that there will be a fast forward button and there will will be an easy way to pass all the exams without a sweat, but i realized in the quest of pursuing your dreams there is no short cuts. Medicine is never easy; finance, time, intellect and most especially emotions have to be managed. We just need to accept and understand that we need to sacrifice some of the things in order to survive. 

This Taught me patience, perseverance, independence, and commitment.  Patience, Medicine is never easy, sometimes everything is just like a piece of cake but most of the time  I just want to give up and choose another path for myself. Self doubt is always the big issue here, but this taught me to be patience, in a way that I learned how to remain calm during the storm and be patience enough to see the better outcome of what i had worked hard for. Independence and commitment, being away from my family was never easy, for years i wasn't able to attend any family gathering we had, missed birthdays, Christmas, and New year but despite all the circumstances, I learned to stand for myself and be independent enough to make the right decisions for myself.

All the things I had accomplished in life, I offer it to my parents,friends,love ones and especially to God. Without the drive and inspiration they gave me, I might not be the person I am today. Thank you for the love,support (both emotional and financialšŸ˜‚), believing in me, and for not giving up on me especially in times when i doubted myself over the years. I MAY NOT BE THERE YET, BUT ATLEAST IM CLOSER THAN YESTERDAY.
