From binge eating episodes and sleepless nights, crying to Mom and Dad to crying to my roommate and long queues at the visa office, I feel like I've lived through a hurricane. But still, a part of me feels like I'm stuck living in a rainbow: gloomy and rainy on one side, but beautiful and shiny on another.
The dream of being a doctor came to me extremely early, but the realities of being a medical student living abroad helped me realize that I dreamt of reaching the moon when I didn't know how to go to a supermarket without my mom pampering me.
While here, I've experienced life's most beautiful moments with my friends, who have become my new family, and seniors who made every important occasion and festival feel like I'm home. Every time I put on that white coat, I feel like I've won in life but left behind my heart: my family, my parents. I never imagined how much I would miss my bed when I was at home.
The classes are the best part of my day. During them, I don't allow any unnecessary thoughts to come to my mind. But when they end, a tsunami of memories comes crashing in: how beautiful my kitchen at home is, how much I love my local coffee shop. But somehow, living life here has made me realize that I'm incredible, and every student abroad who lives in an environment like this deserves to call themselves a medical student!
