looking beyond exams

exams suck... quite frankly... they do... 
for many professions they represent the ultimate obstacle to the goal that lies ahead...
that is... Graduation

somewhere along the way i realized with a start that exams aren't actually an end to themselves...
although all through out our undergraduate years we prepare, slog and torture ourselves to prepare ourselves to this end... we actually don't do this for our exams...
because the exams aren't actually the purpose of this whole journey...
they are merely the ends to a means... which is to make us... 
good doctors...

i AM going to graduate...
this exam is merely a means to make me qualified enough...
because ultimately these exams don't matter that much...
they're just an obstacle impeding our view of what lies ahead..

a life as a doctor..

i'm no longer afraid... because i know what lies ahead... 
and when i look back i won't even remember this obstacle...
