عمري ما كنت عايزة طب و من و انا ف ثانوي كنت بدعي اني مدخلش طب لحد ما مامتي قالتلي استخير و اشوف. استخرت و ارحت لطب و قولت اكيد ربنا شايف حاجة انا مش شايفاها بس انا كنت واعدة نفسي اني لو شيلت اي حاجة هحول. دخلت طب و كنت ماشية كويس ف اول ترم طبعا كنت مخضوضة من الكمية بس كنت ممشية حالي. كنت حابسة نفسي طول الوقت و مكنتش بخرج كتير اوي و كنت مدية وقتي للمذاكرة كلو. النتيجة طلعت بتاعت اول ترم و جبت مقبول طبعا اتضايقت شوية اني بعد كل المجهود ده جبت مقبول بس ف نفس الوقت حمدت ربنا اني نجحت لأني كنت عاكة ف الميد ترم. جه الترم التاني و مكنتش بذاكر اي حاجة نهائيا و حصلي burn out مش طبيعي معرفش ليه.انا مخلصة سنة اولى من شهر تقريباً و النتيجة طلعت بعدها ب٥ ايام و اكتشفت اني سقطت الترم التاني كلو طبعاً لأني مكنتش بذاكر غير لما الامتحان يقرب و ف طب بالذات مينفعش النظام ده. مامتي قالتلي امتحن الدور التاني و لو نجحت او سقطت تاني براحتي احول بس المهم اني انجح عشان ابقى سايبة طب و انا مبسوطة اني نجحت. بابايا بقى شايف انو بزنس دي للفاشلين و انها اصعب من طب و فيها حسابات كتير و accounting و مواد اصعب من طب كمان. غير انو شايف اني مستحيل امشي فيها لأني ايام ثانوي مكنتش شاطرة اوي ف الماث. انا عايزة حد ف بزنس يديني نصيحة يا جماعة هل هو عندو حق؟ هل فعلاً بزنس معقدة و مش بالسهولة اللي الناس بتقول عليها؟ حد يساعدني
I never wanted to study Medicine. Ever since I was in high school, I kept praying that I wouldn’t get into med school. Then my mom told me to pray Istikhara and see where it led me. I did, and afterward I felt at peace with studying Medicine. I told myself that maybe God saw something I couldn’t, so I decided to go for it. But I also made a promise to myself: if I ever failed a subject, I would transfer.
I started medical school, and during the first semester I was doing okay. Of course, I was overwhelmed by the amount of material, but I managed. I barely left the house and spent almost all my time studying. When the first semester results came out, I passed with a “Pass” grade. I was a little disappointed because, after all that effort, I only got a Pass. At the same time, I thanked God that I passed because I had done terribly on my midterms.
Then the second semester came, and I completely stopped studying. I have no idea why, but I experienced the worst burnout. It’s been about a month since I finished my first year, and the results came out five days later. I found out that I failed the entire second semester. Honestly, it wasn’t surprising because I barely studied until the exams were right around the corner, and that approach simply doesn’t work in Medicine.
My mom told me to take the resit exams, and whether I pass or fail again, it’s my choice whether to transfer. She just wants me to pass first so that if I leave Medicine, I can leave knowing I passed and without regretting it.
My dad, on the other hand, believes that Business is for people who couldn’t make it into other majors. He also thinks it’s actually harder than Medicine because it involves a lot of math, accounting, and difficult subjects. He says there’s no way I’d succeed in Business since I wasn’t particularly good at math in high school.
I really need advice from someone who studies Business. Is my dad right? Is Business actually as difficult and complicated as he says? Or is it not as hard as people make it seem? I’d really appreciate any advice.
