Okay, so the person that I’m going to talk about, um, was a stranger to me, and I was not hoping him to help me out this much, actually.

Okay, so the person that I'm going to talk about was a stranger to me, and I was not hoping him to help me out this much, actually. We have a community on Facebook named the BDS support group, where all the graduates are. The basic purpose of that group is to help young dentists and undergraduates find internships and jobs. However, I posted one day that I was struggling with the concepts in orthodontics, and passing seemed like an unbelievable sort of thing. So he reached out to me and offered his help. When I was feeling down, he came out as a miracle and encouraged me with some good words to stay motivated. He said, 'You will do it, you will ace it, and break a leg.' Whenever I was about to appear for an exam, he also gave me one-on-one tutoring on those complex orthodontic subjects, as he is an orthodontist and has command over it. I would say he is the salt of the earth. Finally, I passed my exam with flying colors, although I was only expecting to barely pass it. But I got a distinction, which was something out of the blue. I was not expecting it at all. Eventually, I believe burning the midnight oil was something that gave me a great return. I believe such kind of people are rarely available on this earth, and seldom do I see them. Experiencing such lightheartedness and kindness made me trust in the fact that good people do exist in this world.
