Graduation

20:21

This is too much emotion for me to deal with at the moment. As I watched them call names and each one of the graduating students climbed up to collect their diploma, my eyes filled with tears but I held them back. This year's set of Doctors are just too amazing. 
This is me just showing my love to them for the time we've spent together. This is my letter to every of the latest doctors.


Dear Doctor,

Finally the sleepless nights have paid off. The last 6 years have shown their worth. Slowly, the seconds have added up to be years and now you're here. Face to face with the diploma you dreamt of and you finally can correctly add a Dr in front of your name and allow all of it's pride sink in.
Oh the dreams you dreamt. Dreams you dreamt with your eyes open for the world of sleep couldn't contain them. Sleep you sacrificed on the altar of anatomy in first year, biochemistry in second you, pharmacology in third year...

The last 6 years have brought you experiences; good, bad, ugly, beautiful. Look around you, see the people that you met, the mentors you did get, the footprints that you left and indeed the inspiration that you beget.

The last 6 years have been more than just getting that diploma or learning how to detect a glaucoma or the early stags of carcinoma. It was also about building that supernova persona while building bridges with the lives around.

Dear Dr,
As you step out of this comfort zone of medical school into a world where many with chameleon like smiles on their face expect you to fail. As you begin this new phase with no idea of what may happen. As you take the next step in your dream's direction. As you follow the path of your life, be courageous.
I did want to say, be not afraid but the truth is that you'll feel fear, you'll get scared, you'll get hurt and hurt again.Your feet may give way and the ground may not hold but when these happen, be courageous.

Hold these moments in your hand, occasionally stare at the sky and see the motion picture of the past victories. Be COURAGEOUS, for the ability for you to succeed is inherent, it is within you.
So, even if you decide to do strictly medicine or choose to add a side hustle, know this, that you are already a SUCCESS.


With Love,
A little brown gurl who's heart has been inspired by yours.
