A lot of things happened during the year 2012. It was an eventful year for me because it's the year that I finally obtained my bachelors degree and opened another chapter in my life which is entering medical school. First half of my year was kinda a roller coaster. I wasn't sure if I would still enter med school or not. I was having problems in which school would I enter. The school that I want to enter didn't accept me. Throughout summer, I really debated if I should still enter or not. I was contemplating if being a doctor was for me. I was already asking God for signs if I should still go on or not. After waiting and praying, God gave me a sign-- which is to enter med school. Starting the second half of the year, there was I, a full pledge, medical student. It is kinda nice to hear and say 'medical student' haha but no, don't live up to that. There are many sacrifices to make before becoming a real medical student. Even though I didn't get in the school that I wanted, I know God has some plans for me that's why He didn't put me in that school. And I was right. I'm okay with my new school. New set of friends, classmates, and environment. It feels like I'm not a new student because our class bonded immediately and that's what I like about it. I have no regrets in entering in my school because everybody is welcoming and kind.
Year 2012 was also saddening because one of my closest friend passed away. It was so sudden that we were all shocked about the news. I am kinda not yet moved on by it because I still can't believe that my friend is not here anymore. I know that she is already happy in the arms of God in heaven. She looks out after us and I know that :)
Being medical student is really damn hard! Don't get me started enumerating ALL disadvantages! Haha! It made me become emotional (I wasn't THAT emotional before but now, oh damn!). It made me LOVE SLEEP MORE. Hahaha! It has its perks (oh really there is?) and disadvantages (A LOT mind you!). Even though it makes me want to quit SOON, our upperclassmen and professors always tells us that all of a sudden, you may question yourself why you enter this profession, but don't let that get into you. Always think why, in the first place you want to become a doctor. And, you are already here, why quit? You made that choice so you have to pursue it. At first, it is really hard but when it comes to the end, everything is worth it.
I have so many things to be grateful and thankful for to God in the year 2012. May it be in the ups or downs, I don't mind it all. I am still thankful that I'm still here, alive and kicking, blogging this post, and sharing my thoughts. May you have a peaceful and happy 2013 ahead of you! :) Happy new year!!
