If u feel lost and far from home..
The only way to regain your strength is to return, though
for awhile...
That's what i did since in medical school, can't believe i'm
doing it again now after 2 years working as a doctor. But i'm happy to be at
home again, even for few hours - to see the familiar and beloved faces, sleep
on my bed, eat home food, shopping in your hometown areas. I suppose the
familiarity and comforts i've gained here made me so homesick whenever i'm away
from home. But i've got to sacrifice this luxury if i wanna so much to be an
anaesthetist... I need to train myself to be independent and build my self
esteem in new place, maybe i can focus more as being away from home. Sometimes
when i'm in my low spirit, i thought of quit and left this medical profession.
But after refreshing my memory in Golan Height 2 years back in Syria from a
documentary in television this morning, i know that i'm on the right track. I
need to continue this journey of mine to become a beneficial and competent
relief worker for the suffering ummah, no matter where they are, that's my
purpose of becoming a doctor in da first place. May Allah grant me with patient
and persistence...ameen
