Long story short, I made it through to my third year.

With lots of stepping on sharp seashells along the way, of course.

During my first year, I felt like quitting most of the time. I failed 2 major exams and got the lowest grade for one of them. I needed to take remedial classes while everyone else was out there enjoying their holiday. It was really hard back then. Somehow, I miraculously passed the remedial exam by a thin margin and managed to advance to the second year.

The second year was fun, I would say. I finally got to grasp what medical school is actually like. I have a good friend group who is always willing to study and motivate each other whenever one person is having a hard time. Thanks to them, I passed all the exams in my second year although my grade has been stagnant from the start. But hey, at least I passed! This particular period made me realise that I do actually want to become a good doctor. I have become so attached to this field that I would go extensive miles to achieve what I want.

Now, I have entered my third year which is the clinical year where I meet more real patients. Most of them have been so lovely and I do actually enjoy my life a lot now. I passed my first posting and am now currently in my second posting! It's too late to give up now and what I can do is just to walk ahead until I am satisfied enough. I hope I can make it until my 5th year, pre-internship, and until I graduate from med school. Lastly, until I got the 'Dr' title. :)
