Hi guys :heart: ! Time for part 8 :yep:
...


<3

That is such an incredible story and such a wonderful way to find the thing you love. I cried :cry2:...

I can't empathise with that near-death feeling but it does sound terrible, no wonder you're so keen to become someone that can help others in the same position.

Agh, your outlook on life is so inspirational...

Hi guys :heart: ! Time for part 8 :yep:

So, I finally decided I won't talk AT ALL about the semester 1, because really, I have nothing to say except I did a really good job and had really good grades at my mocks. Same for the Day-D, all you have to know is that I was feeling much more confident about myself, and I will never ever regret a single day of this semester. Because I gave my best.

Why Unicorn wants to be a doctor.
I never talked about it properly, here we go. There are a lot of reasons, some are little, some are bigger. One of the little reasons is that I had appendicitis when I was 12 so I started to become obsessed with hospitals. A kid's dream you know ^.^ !

The BIG reason is the following. When I was 14, I had an little accident, I almost died, and it changed everything.

I was riding a horse in the mountains, and when I ride there I enjoy looking at the void in the ravines you know. Well a quad came and my horse has been scared, he reared, I almost fell down on the ravine, the horse was running on the path really close to it. I was hanging out so hard to the reins, but I was sliding toward the void a bit more each second.
I was hanging for my life.
I was scared.
So scared.
The void.
So close.
So ****ing close.
With my right hand I was holding to the reins, and with the left one to the saddle. I could not do that for long. My hands were sweating.

I released.

I fell down, and not even in the ravine.
Not.
In.
The.
Ravine.
I felt a pain in my back, and when I opened my eyes , I was on the grass, a few hikers around me. I was alive.
ALIVE.

I don't know if you realise but when I released I thought I would die. The hikers called the emergency services. I noticed after a few minutes that I was bleeding a bit here and there (in the back, the arms, the legs). I didn't care at all. I was alive.

At hospital, but alive. When the doctors said I had some broken vertebra, I got scared, as they told to my parents that someone would have to check my legs every 20min to verify that I was not losing sensibility.What an awful feeling. You can't forget such a thing.

When Unicorn put all her hopes into the doctors, when she realised how much doctors were dedicated to their patients, her dream became stronger.

1 day passed, my legs were saved. I spent one week to hospital, and I'll never forget this week. The doctors did not even save my life. But when I could get up and walk, the doctors smiled.

That smile.
Unforgettable. Truly unforgettable.

I remember a lot of things in my life, but some of them are worth remembering. I'll smile like that to my patients one day. I promise.

The meaning of life.
Refer here for the result day.

Spoiler

When you're young, you want to have good grades, to have a great job, to gain money, to live. And your whole life is kinda dedicated to a goal : living. Sounds weird to write it down, but it's true. We wanna live !

But sometimes we forgot how to do it.

During 2 years of my ****ing life I forgot how to live. And when I failed, everything became so different.I've been offered a place for dentistery/pharmacy/physio/midwifery. It took me three days to think about it, then I dropped out uni. To follow my real dream. To live.

I applied abroad. I have to pass some entrance examinations, and as I did the 1st year of med, I already know all of the requirements. Of course I still revise, but I have time. Time to live.I planned to travel. Right now I can book a flight without worrying about anything. I called it Life. Because Life is what is supposed to make you happy.

My failure was my escape. My happiness. My life.

My first exams are in one month, and I'm living, waiting for it. I planned 5 travels in 4 months. I can read every book I want without a single pressure. I plan to live 6 years in Prague, then I'll move to the US. And maybe even New Zealand.My failure released me from a boring life.

I'm free.

I'm alive.

I am happy. :h:


Thanks for reading :heart: guys now I'll take a break from this blog until my exams, because there is nothing to tell about me right now - unless you ask for something of course - and I'll be back here after my exams, to keep you in touch with everything :h:. I love you <3

Matrix I am SO GRATEFUL for the time you took to correct me, Je t'aime :heart:
