In my opinion, the most difficult decision I had to make was probably applying to universities outside of Saudi Arabia. I had the option to either study in Saudi Arabia and finish my education here to obtain a medical degree, or I could study abroad and earn my medical degree there. It was difficult because studying abroad meant I would have to leave my family and take on my own responsibilities, becoming an independent person, which was challenging since I hadn't experienced this before; it was all new to me. The consequences of my decision included gaining independence, going on my own, and having no one to rely on.
