REENTRY

Hi everyone! It's been ages since I last posted here. Things just got so busy.(You know...growing up and all.)

How have I been doing? Well, I have already graduated med school by God's grace. I'm glad it's all over.(Well, I think and hope so.) I just finished taking the Physician Licensure Examination which I 'm hoping to pass. Having finished 5 years of Med life brings me to share with you my journey in becoming a medical doctor.

To tell you honestly, it was not my dream to become a doctor but it was my parents' dream for me. I cannot blame them for I know parents only want what's best for their children. I had other dreams in life...( A newscaster, A singer, An office worker,etc.) I wanted to be so many things that I could no longer decide what I really wanted.( Sad,right?! yeah, I know! There are people like me...THE UNDECIDED!).

 And so, I took the challenge half-hearted. It was really hard at the beginning knowing that you want to try doing something else and here you are trying to understand your purpose for being somewhere else. Med school was hard but the  "what ifs" made it harder. ( So if you plan to go in Med School make sure you have no "what ifs".)The feeling was like marrying someone that you hope you would learn to love.(The  analogy...LOL)

During my first year, I had a difficult time adjusting to the demands of the course. It's like so impossible to read the recommended chapters in all the subjects (considering I am not a bookworm...I'm a television person) plus doing the workbook in Histology,Physiology and the like. I cried like for how many nights because of the frustration that I could not finish the tasks at hand. It was like I was entering a state of depression. I became grumpy,irritable and all the negative stuff you could think of.Then, later, along the way I realized that I do not have to do everything perfectly. I began to accept the fact that I could not finish reading every lesson like how I used to back in highschool. I just lived by faith and everything is history.( Yeah, it's just as easy as that! I entrusted it all to Him. I asked God to make me finish the course not just for me but for my parents. I wanted to make them happy.)

Then came internship...which was more fun and relaxed. Somehow,I have realized that maybe I have a purpose for being in this profession.  I might just not understand it now but I know God has a reason for everything.
