The pivotal factor that ignited my passion for medicine was my intimate involvement in the care of my beloved grandparents, with a special focus on my grandfather. As the one who raised me, he played a profound role in my life. Witnessing firsthand the impact that primary care professionals had on his well-being was truly transformative. Moreover, their dedication to his care indirectly influenced my own life, as he selflessly looked after me. This experience left an indelible mark on my soul and profoundly shaped the kind of impact I aspired to make in the world. It wasn't solely the impact on my own life, though. The interest they displayed, the mentorship they provided, and the unwavering encouragement they offered in pursuit of my goals became powerful driving forces behind my desire and capability to embark on a career in medicine. I have never forgotten the profound effect that words and encouragement can have, especially on young minds striving to shape their own paths. My personal journey stands as a testament to the transformative power of such support, reinforcing the notion that a few well-placed words and genuine encouragement can be instrumental in empowering and guiding individuals towards their true calling.
