It all started when I was very small. I loved playing with those plastic toys with which I believed I could treat people. When someone asked me who I wanted to be when I grew up, I would always tell, A DOCTOR.
And after I grew up a little, I started imagining me wearing that white coat with that real ‘plastic toy’ ( stethoscope actually – which I learnt a lot later), treating patients, owning a hospital, looking after people, just like in a movie.
But again after a few years, when I was a little more older, I practically started researching about ways to get into a medical college. I am a person settled in Tamil Nadu, and those days getting an admission to medical college was solely based on 12 th marks. And I was the kind of kid who would cry if I didn’t get the first rank. And so I thought it would be easy.
My 10th board exams nearing, I studied hard, very hard, that I passed with 99%. I decided to continue in the same school( because I have become a little popular in the school😝).
Now I had a little gang in the school. Slowly I started getting overconfident, that I can easily pass the exam. I didn’t work hard. And it was the time the government introduced ‘NEET’ – entrance exam for medical college. But Tamil Nadu was against it. And I was happy. So that year NEET didn’t happen in TN. I was then in my 12 th standard. I studied, but never to my full capacity. And by the end of the year, when I was about to attend my board exams, it was confirmed that NEET IS COMPULSORY. I started losing hope now. Because I was never prepared for an entrance exam. I didn’t concentrate on learning for the board exams thinking about the entrance exam. As expected I didn’t really do my exams upto my satisfaction. But anyways, after the exams I decided to join a crash course for NEET and give it a go.
