I worked in a kindergarten for 4 months after spm.
Since first year, I have been an active volunteer in CARES UMMC.
I see myself as someone who is good with kids, and many of my friends
think that I'll end up becoming a paediatrian someday.
I thought I would do well in this particular posting, too.
However, things weren't as smooth as I thought it would be.
My tutor had been a really strict teacher, who can even be harsh sometimes.
Under his guidance, I had received so much criticisms, so much disapproval,
in which to a point,
I doubted my capabilities. I doubted myself.
To think positively, I knew all of his criticisms were meant for good.
He wanted me to be a better doctor in the future, a better person.
He made me realised, a person's attitude and mindset, is easily manifested in
his daily behaviour, his speech, his presentation, even the way he clerks a case.
All in all, this has been a fruitful experience. Children are lovely.
They have the most innocent and purest hearts.
And laid on your hands are your responsibilities, to make sure they become well again,
and walk out of the hospital with a smile.
I have seen children who are otherwise normal being abused and neglected,
but I have also seen children with an extra chromosome
being unconditionally loved by their parents.
Every ordinary child is special, but can every special child be treated equally?
Every babble is a milestone, and every milestone is precious.
I am no longer certain if I'm suitable to be in paediatrics.
But I promise I'll be better, and be safe.
I'll improve and hopefully won't disappoint you anymore.
Thank you, Dr.
I truly appreciate all of your advice.
To all the lovely kids, I pray that you'll be well, and grow up happily.
