Soon to be MD, I hope. :)

So many days and months have passed. So many Wednesdays that I missed writing in this blog. It all goes down for one reason...  I was too busy for school... for my FUTURE.

Third year, first semester has just ended. And I have to say this, this semester had brought me so many ups and downs. It also did teach me so many things, not just related to my course, but life lessons, as well.

I won't go too much into my emotional stuff. All I just want this entry to contain is about my DREAMS.

Even before the first semester of my third year in college starts, I've been praying to God to help me get through this semester. And I am just so happy and thankful that I did. 5 semesters down, 3 to go and I'll be graduating from my pre-med course.

Less than 2 months to go, and I'll be taking my NMAT. I've been preparing for this. I've enrolled myself into a NMAT review center, and really wishing that I'll get a high percentile.

Last night, I registered to CEM's online registration for NMAT. And at that time, all I could say is that, "This is it. I am so sure of this. I really wanna be a doctor someday. Not just because I want to follow my parents' footsteps, but basically, because this is what I really want."

People would tend to say that I have long way to goooooo... That I have to get through so many things before I become a physician; that I have what? A decade more to go to finish?

But SO WHAT?!?

If you really want something, you have to strive hard to get it.
There are no shortcuts for reaching one's goal. And this is one of my motivations. Some would say, "Ang tagal pa ha? 4 or 5 years pa? Tapos residency pa?"

But I would reply, "4 or 5 years na lang? Hindi ba mabilis na lang yun?"

I am really so sure of this now. I see myself that in 10 years or more, I am a successful physician already! :D
