Meet the Founder

" Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of ᴘʀᴏʙᴀʙɪʟɪᴛʏ "


M Y S T O R Y


Hi! It's your regular teenage girl here, struggling to finish high school and striving for excellence. Since young, I've always been fascinated by the field of medicine, its countless discoveries, the constant crossing of boundaries, and the impossibilities blossoming just beyond the horizon. There is so much known about medicine, yet so much more left to explore - realms full of wonders that they almost sound like fantasies from a sci-fi novel, minute discoveries that might one day become the key factor in curing terminal diseases, careers and opportunities so scarce and rare yet it is the competition among aspiring students that make them so appealing...


Medicine has always had a special place in my heart even when I was five. Somehow, the thought of prodding people with needles and patching their bloody wounds (well I was five :P) didn't scare me like it did to other kids of my age. Instead, a question formed deep inside my mind, prompting me to reflect on my life and what I truly wanted to do.


“What if I can take away that pain?”

That simple question burned in my soul, flickering flames rising around me and enveloping with such warmth and certainty that I knew that I could. That this was what I would do - to take away the pain of others and replace them with heartfelt smiles.


Fast forward to a few years later, when I started considering the different paths laid out in front of me and the choices I could make, which might lead to success, or perhaps even failure. The older I got, the more obstacles started surfacing and ultimately, popping my ethereal bubble. Financial problems, the disbelieving glances of my peers, the constant protests of my parents, asking for me to pursue a simpler, less competitive career…


Yet I persevered.


Of course I did. Medicine was my life. My soul and the only clarity I have in the never-ending tangles of life. Even with the numerous obstacles slowing me down, I never backed down. I could never back down. What would I be if I weren’t a doctor? Who would I be and what would my life even look like? Sure enough, I’d have to cope with even more challenges then but the thought of me doing what I truly am passionate about fills me with such untethered, boundless joy that it makes everything else fade to a blur. I don’t care about what others think of me. And I don’t care whether or not I become what my parents want me to be.


All I know is that I am already on the carousel of life, my eyes fixated on that definite point in the future that pictures bliss and healing and laughter.


I am on the carousel of the future.


And that carousel never stops turning.
