Thank You!

Dear God,

My Mom called me today and told me about her going to the doctor and having a check up. It was a good thing that my Mom becomes concern for her health. She shared this good news to me that she has initiated this, as what I have always reiterated to her. As she was telling me the list of medications that she has to take, it makes me feel that I really should know more about health. This is one of the moments that make my conviction of going to med school stronger. This desire to understand human processes and diseases is gradually being lit in me thru daily encounters.  I shall really become a doctor so that I can care more for the people I love.

My plan was to go med school directly after college graduation. However, certain circumstances such as my NMAT score restrained me to enter the school of my dreams. I really want to go to UERM, I don’t know why. I don’t know what’s so enticing about it, I just wanted to. And now, that I have been interviewed, I really hope that I would get accepted at UERM. I am already claiming it. With Your grace, I’ll be studying in UERM. I trust the Lord’s plans for me. I am excited about it.

Had I not experience working after graduation, I think I wouldn’t be able to realize how much I wanted to go to Medicine. I wouldn’t be pursuing a higher score in NMAT had I not really wanted to go to top medical schools.

Certain events in my life that led to this kind of wanting to become a doctor:

1.       My Ate has Rett’s syndrome. With this, I want to help other families who have a family member with other developmental disabilities since I know for myself what they have been going through.

2.       My work experience paved way in meeting doctors who are experts in their very own fields, which are inspiring for me.

3.       My Lola has been hospitalized recently, and I have felt something for the first time, that I should know more so that I can do something for her. Second time for this feeling was with my Mom’s sharing that she has consulted a doctor and that she has to take some medicines, just today.

I long for more experiences in my life Lord that will affirm my desire to become a doctor. I know that You are the one who have instilled this desire in me. I know that You’ll help me deliver, no matter what. So as early as now, thank You very much.

Love,

Julie
