Day of acceptance

Hello everyone! I used to have a million excuses and pretensions about blogging and writing what's inside my mind. Today I choose freedom and victory as I embark in my journey to become a doctor again... I have been a doctor at the age of 25 back in my home country. But to pursue my dreams of coming to America, I went through a different medical profession to chase this dream. Stepping stone after stepping stone led me to the corners of Texas and recently, to the ice-capped mountains of Alberta. I am grateful for my short stay in Canada because that was when I had my awakening... Inside my heart of hearts, I still want to be a doctor someday. Even if I finish my residency training at 40 yrs old, I know I have pursued my dream. Being an old IMG (international medical graduate) poses a whole gamut of obstacles itself. The year of graduation, high USMLE scores, financial resources, to name a few of them would be paralyzing itself, hence, not enable me to focus and pursue my dreams. Today I choose to rise above these obstacles and relearn, relive the glory of becoming a doctor. Thank you for this opportunity. Thank you for the strength to follow my dreams. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
