Well, let me talk about news that left a profound impact on me. As far as I recall when my father told me my end result in my last year of my high school, I wish I could get a high percentage to go and to go into the Faculty of Medicine. As far as I recall, while I was living, my father had told me that I have claimed my 99% in the last year. So now I could go onto my dreams and join the Faculty of Medicine if I really wanted it. I can’t explain my feeling now. I was over the moon and it was the best news that I have ever had. Because really I… I end up walking bad, especially in years when I simply wonder about myself. If I can get a high score because of my heart not my chance, or not my luck, it would mean that I will have chances. My father and also my mother were very happy and they say that it was unbelievable that you have this high score. Because yes, you really did a lot of work and you studied hard, but it’s not easy to get 99% so it was unbelievable. And I think yes, it was unbelievable that I had this high score. But now I have achieved my dreams and I am a doctor, I am a cardiologist, who is a doctor which I want all my life.
