LIFE OF A MEDICAL STUDENT AFTER FINISHING HER FIRST YEAR
Life of a medical student after finishing her first year
Thoughts of success killing my high anxiety levels, a commitment to medicine throughout my
entire life, learning skills that are changing me into an ambitious doctor, these were the things
rolling in my mind after finishing my first year of medicine. And this is what my life looks like
now, an enthusiastic medical student full of passion and energy.
“You don’t have to be brilliant to be a doctor. You have to be hardworking and have good character. That’s what makes good doctors.”
Entering medicine was a tough journey, it had some great challenges on its own but I never
thought that something bigger is waiting for me. Getting acceptance in this major was my
biggest desire and just then I discovered something greater, which is sketching the path to my
lifelong medical journey.
During my first year as a medical student, I learned a lot, more than I expected. I learned to read
textbooks, I tried reading research topics, but the thing that I learned most was a skill. A skill
that took me from my lowest to my highest. This skill is called commitment. It sounds simple but
it took me a year to get its true meaning.
When I signed to enter medicine, sounds full of joy and happiness were surrounding me and I
felt that I reached my highest. But when I got to live with my medical textbooks for a year, I got
to understand that what I signed for was a commitment. It was a commitment from me to every
single person in this world, that in the future I will be your guardian and I will be your bright
exit after God. I learned that I am committed to providing all my skills and thoughts for a person
who looks at me as his own protector.
You don’t know the feeling when a patient comes to you believing in your skills and knowledge.
Medicine deals with people with souls, and diseases with brutal savage actions. Medicine is not
like any major in college. Medicine is basically a commitment. I am committed to passing through all
hardships just to gain the smile of a satisfied patient.
Another thing that should be addressed when talking about the life of a medical student is
creativity. We are learning to sketch our path, you can’t pursue medicine just by memorizing
flashcards and reading textbooks. Enrolling in research and medical activities opens lots of doors
in your mind. We flourish on creativity, this world moves every day with our thoughts and ideas.
Medicine improves each day and that was achieved by the curiosity of great ambitious doctors.
Creativity and curiosity are two skills that I am learning as a medical student, and these two
skills should always be present in the life of a medical student.
I finished this year knowing that medicine is something so precious. It has something that we
should deeply understand, it’s more than a disease that needs to be cured with a dose of medicine.
It’s a miracle that we can use it, with the help of God, to save a life and brighten a future.
I am now ready to be the best version of myself, I am ready to be the best doctor I possibly can. I
signed to get this certificate “Doctor of medicine” and I am staying committed to gaining
information throughout my life so then I could be satisfied with the job I assigned to myself.
