Suddenly, I found myself walking the hallways of what would undoubtedly become my second home, or perhaps the first, heh! The reality is that I would end up spending more time there than in my own home. That’s right: I was officially in medical school.
The next thing I did was carefully review my schedule, locate my classrooms, and make sure I was in the right classroom at the right time. The excitement at that moment was so great that I found it hard to believe that, at last, I was pursuing the career that would define the course of my life.
I must admit that, when I entered university, I already brought with me some previous experiences from high school. I always considered myself a dedicated student in class, although at home I had a harder time concentrating. I did my homework and passed exams in a good way; we could say that, even outstanding, but I never studied too much. To really dig deeper into what I was learning, I had to pique my curiosity. To be honest, I didn’t need much encouragement from my friends to live in a somewhat naughty stage during the last semesters of high school.
However, once in the career, I arrived with all the desire to learn as much as I could. I saw this stage as something very serious, and I was willing to do my best to stand out, first as a student and, finally, as a future doctor.
But university, and especially medicine, are not the same as high school. It’s easy to hit a wall and realize that what you considered your strength turns out to be quite common among all colleagues. Not to mention the teachers: it is not only their knowledge, but also their personalities, that influences the formation of each one.
Popular opinion points out that in the faculty there is a struggle of egos, and I am not going to lie to you, I think they are not wrong. The problem is that my own ego was also being tested in that ring and, at first, I felt that I was not winning, but, on the contrary, I was complicating the path.
Throughout my career, I discovered many unknown aspects and feelings in me, and the downside is that not all of them were positive. Even so, I have continued to grow, always trying to stay on the best possible path.
