😍Dreams do come true!
📣Hi everyone,
Today I would like to share with you that I am finally fulfilling a lifetime dream of mine & it starts today…..
I am starting my journey in medicine to become a doctor. It is what I have always wanted to do since I was about 8/9years old.
Today, is my fist day at medical school & I am feeling excited, though a strange feeling to think of myself as a student again!
Also, need to get used to earning very little for the next 4 years …🙈
At 18 years, not having achieved the required grades, I opted for pharmacy and it has given me a lot.
I have had some amazing roles and met some incredible people and gained invaluable skills.
However, the desire to practice medicine never really went away and grew with time.
So, after a lot of consultation with key stakeholders (my husband, 3yr old, 5yr old, family, friends), and a lot of research, self-reflection, I embarked on my journey to medicine in 2019.
2020 was of course a difficult year, I also had baby number 2, and this made the journey that little bit slower & did make me question everything.
It has been challenging journey to get here, and has taught me a lot- mainly to have a strong belief in myself and that this life is immensely short, and that I need to make the best of it.
Sometimes, paths are opened up to you and you have to courageously accept.
I feel blessed and privileged to be given the opportunity become a doctor, Alhamdulillah.
I would like to say thank you to my friends, and clients for supporting and encouraging me in my journey- you’re all
amazing and gave me strength to continue when it felt too much.
If you have a dream, and it feels right for you, then pursue it.
Life is short, live it to your best.
Have a marvellous monday, wishing you all the best!
