Some of you are celebrating today.
But some of you are sitting quietly… staring at the screen… feeling like everything just ended.
I know that feeling.
On 5 May 2024, I was in the same place.
After 3 drops.
No clarity. No energy left. Just disappointment.
I kept asking myself:
“Should I try again?”
“Or should I give up this dream?”
That confusion hurts more than failure.
I eventually chose to go abroad for MBBS in Russia.
Was it an easy decision? No.
Do I still feel a little guilt sometimes? Yes.
But one thing I realised:
This is not the end of your life.
Right now, it feels heavy.
You might feel behind.
You might feel like everyone else is moving ahead.
But your story is not over today.
If you feel like crying — cry.
If you feel broken — accept it.
Write down what you’re feeling. Don’t suppress it.
Then give yourself a few days.
Not to decide your whole future…
but just to breathe.
After that, think calmly:
Drop again?
Go abroad?
Choose a different path?
There is no “one correct answer”.
Just don’t make a decision from panic.
I know many of you will feel this tonight.
You’re not alone in this.
Whatever you choose next… make sure it’s your decision, not pressure.
We all take different paths to reach the same goal.
And sometimes… the longer road still leads somewhere meaningful.
