“I can’t wait to leave White House.” Those words were constantly on most of us lips during our days in Part 1. But finally Impavidus, we made it and we thoroughly deserved it. This is not your usual “What to do in Part 2” article, this is just one I curated for our class members from our senior collegues asking them about their fears, expectations, motivation and techniques they applied to scale through this level.
SHOULD I HAVE READ DURING THE BREAK?
Short answer? Maybe. Long answer? Doesn’t really matter, does it? It is time to hit the books and read. Because, when it starts raining, it will pour. But for now, flex those brains better than your Biceps Brachii muscles.
HAVE YOUR OWN PEOPLE
Having people to call your own in this journey cannot be overemphasized, People who would always stand by you during the thick, but most especially during the thin. People who would celebrate your wins and help you through the lows. You will also need people that won’t hide PQs from you too.
IT IS TIME TO GO TO CLASS
Hands up if you never skipped class in year one. Clearly no hands up. You’ve had your fun but now, with the recent development of the electronic attendance monitoring systems, we must now come for classes. Get those dresses ready a night before and make your way to class.
HOLD THOSE SLIDES AND PQS
Yeah, I know you’d like to write your own adaptation of “Vishram Singh’s Textbook of Anatomy”, but the slides comes first (in most cases). Na who pass lecturer’s questions dey become doctor.
WE MUST REMEMBER WHY WE STARTED THIS JOURNEY
The fears and doubts? They are all valid. I question myself too. But, we got in, scaled through the dreaded white house and we’re now in the “dreaded” college (the dread never ends, I heard), we’d definitely will scale through this. Remember your “Why?” and keep it close to your heart. It will help on gloomy days when all seems lost. No man warreth and entangles himself with the affairs of this life. Never lose sight of your vision.
This is going to be our biggest test yet. We’d get drained, tired and question our choices but we must never quit. We’d keep our head straight with our Sternocleidomastoid and forge ahead.
Till I write again, Impavidus. Welcome to Medical School.
