1 point
Ibland känns det bra att vara bäst!
Som till exempel när jag fick maximala poäng på CPR på First Aid förra året.
Eller när jag fick bäst resultat i min grupp på Final Exam - praktiska i Histologin.
Det kändes så jäkla gött, när man visste att man gjort allt helt rätt,
Man var "fläckfri"! Det kändes perfekt.
Jag har aldrig tvivlat en enda sekund på att jag kommer blir en grym läkare!
Jag vet att jag kommer bli det. Många dömer varandra på betygen, på teoretiska delarna eftersom vi knappt har något annat just nu. Men jag vet mitt. Och jag ä säker på det!
Den bästa studenten blir inte nödvändigtvis den bästa läkaren, och att den bästa läkaren nödvändigtvis inte var den bästa studenten
"...And the words they used to describe you - nobody had recommendation like yours.
People said the others were smart, they said that they were hardworkers - they said they
were good. They said you were great.
They spoked of your kindness, your attention to details - they talked about how hard you
trying, that you never give up.
They painted a picture of the kind of doctor that I hope to become.
It was an honor to read those letters, because now I know that what is seperating you from
the others isn´t a stupid point. What seperates you from the others is greatness.
So don´t your dare let one point hold you back. "

:( If, IF did not exist 1 point would make no difference...
Sometimes we are held back by very small differences in grades, and sometimes its a matter of pure luck whether you pass or the person beside you passes...They might be better at a certain topic that comes on the test while you're better at other topics, and it is just luck that the topic they knew was on that test. The more difficult the road, the more we appreciate our chances, and the less we take it for granted, and the stronger we become. For those who the road had little rocks and stones, when they get to their final careers, they easily fall under the pressure, because when you're a doctor you have to carry a lot of baggage, and if you never built up those muscles to handle pressures, unexpected changes, results, you end up falling under all of it.
Its like the difference between a marathon runner and a wrestler. The marathon runner spends all his time running, on normal ground, always the same heart beat for long periods of time, he's only built up endurance to do the same for a long time. His body build is skinny, lanky, not much muscle tone, not very strongs, and his heart is only able to work at two different rates,and changes that are too quick tire him out. The wrestler, on the other hand is muscular and toned. He can't run for such long periods of time without getting tired, but he's done weight, training, cardio, aerobics. He is strong and can easily handle quick changes in heartbeat required by many sports, and change from running to jogging to sprinting to walking without getting tired. His heart is trained to handle anything.
Now when the time comes for you to finally succeed at your dreams, get where you wanted to go, which one would you rather be? Who do you think appreciates getting there more?
