While other six year old girls loved playing dress up and pretended to be princesses, I was always too busy pretending to save the lives of my imaginary patients. My family members have always told me that I stood out from the other girls from a very young age, other girls were in love with the thought of meeting prince charming one day, while I was in love with the thought of becoming an individual who will be entitled to save the lives of strangers.

This is where the school work pays off; remember those chemistry tests you crammed for in Medical School? Well, this is where you’ll need them most because it’s a matter of life or death. Being in charge of restoring someone’s health back to normal isn’t an easy task, neither are the steps of becoming a surgeon. In order to become a successful doctor a lot of challenging obstacles will be thrown in your path.
