I’m blessed. Understanding large amounts of complex information comes easy to me and I enjoy learning so much. Having followed the maths stream I was torn between the choice of Medicine and Engineering. With much deliberation, I set my heart on medicine because of the vast educational and vocational opportunities it presented. I want to work in close contact with children and I think medicine provides a great platform for it.
