Final Medical Board exams preps- The mental battle
My final examination was indeed a battle.
For many reasons, this season meant so much to me. One of the biggest reasons was that I needed at least one distinction in the two courses I was taking to maintain my prestigious honours streak.
From my first year until that very moment, I had put in the work. I had given my best. And this final phase felt like a major deciding point in my journey.
But it was not easy.
The coursework was voluminous and almost never-ending. At some point, I even battled the fear of failing. To make things more challenging, I fell sick just a few days before my exams.
It was a lot.
But looking back now, I am grateful.
I may not have had a typical “perfect” ending, but I am grateful for how the entire journey has shaped me. It has built in me resilience, discipline, dedication, and a relentless spirit.
More than anything, it has formed a young man who is determined to take his place in the world, live for Christ, make impact, and contribute meaningfully to the field of medicine.
God indeed carried me through this journey.
And truly, it takes a community to raise a person. I am deeply grateful for my family, friends, mentors, teachers, and everyone God used to support me along the way.
I definitely would not have made it this far without the love, prayers, encouragement, and support I received.
Tomorrow, your boy will be inducted as a doctor with distinctions. 🎉
All glory to God.
