Five years ago, I made the decision to become a doctor and follow my dream. The journey has been challenging and remains so, but every obstacle has been worth it. My parents encouraged me, saying, 'Yes, go ahead, and God willing, we'll see it through to the end.' Now, as I approach my final year of graduation, the feeling is different and special. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping someone alleviate their pain or improve their life.

I aspire to be a successful doctor in the near future, but the need for support has grown as I near the end of my studies. My sister is currently in university, and next year, another sister will join, adding to the financial strain on my dad. Your support will make a significant difference—it will help me graduate and achieve my dream, which will also allow my siblings to pursue their own dreams, as I’m the eldest. I don’t want to hinder them from choosing their own paths.

Once I become a doctor, I plan to help my family, contribute to research, and support my community and students who need financial assistance. These are the goals I am committed to achieving.
