I dedicate this journey to those who are still struggling with their dreams. First and foremost, I would like to highlight that I am just an ordinary girl with a big dream. I did not come from a prestigious school nor a boarding school, I was all an average student, but being a doctor was my ambition since I was in standard one back in 2003. I have no specific or bombastic reason to become a doctor, but I must say that I am very passionate to reach my own dreams because in my eyes, they are possible to achieve. This was evidently true because I am not a straight as scorer for the examination UPSR, PMR or SPM. All I can say is that I am just a bare minimum student but PMR was the first big exam giving me hope that I can score like other smart students. It was the first achievement that I got a lot of A's out of many big exams in my school eras, which I managed to secure 8A1 B. Moving on to 8PM back in 2013, I did not manage to get a good result to qualify myself in any foundation programme. I was very frustrated and lost all hope for my dream.
