WANNABE INTERN: Week 3



Message to the Pre-Intern: If you allow it, this Period can be the best period of your life!
Why didn’t anyone tell us that this period could be the best period of our lives? Why didn’t anyone tell me that I could absolutely enjoy this time, walking through each day like they are all presents given to me by God, deeply appreciating him for the grace of freedom at this period in my life?
I have learned not only how to earn money, but also how to be financially accountable
I have learned to treat my gift as a business
I have learned to value and cherish my family members, something I wasn’t able to truly learn while I was in school
I have learned not to overlook the ‘little’, the ‘insignificant’.
I have learned to wake up each morning anticipating the goodies of the day, to go to bed feeling fulfilled that once again, I have put my talents to good use
I have learned that there is life outside school, outside medicine, outside what I have ever known.
 I have learned that each moment holds its own beauty, one which I cannot afford to overlook. I am happy. Too happy to even remember that I haven’t started housejob when others have. Truly, I know that I’ll miss this period of my life. I can feel it- because I haven’t experienced anything this intense in like, forever. This is life-changing for me, I cannot deny that!
In this journey of life, perspective is one of the most important things. The only reason I do not regret being at home right now is that I know how much I have chosen to glean from this period. It’s absolutely exciting for me that I can spend each day getting better, richer (yeah), learning more and more from life what medicine will never teach me. To get to this point, you would have to get past the feeling of being cheated and come to a point where you are TRULY happy to be where you are- and to be learning what you’re learning at that point in life. I have gleaned lessons for my future during this time. What are you doing with the time on your hands?
Workbook
State what your perspective is, in terms of your house job search
List out between 5-10 things that you’re happy about!
Say out loud: This period is the best period of my life, up till now; and I will enjoy it! say it for as many times as you want to

#MONDAY’S PROSE THIS CHILD; ON THE ROAD

Through my myopic eyes, a fleeting image of a little boy is formed on my retina A little boy in a little suit, Treading the familiar bushy routes before him The boy had neither escort nor directives And surely, he needed none For a 4 yr old on the road possesses more maturity than a 10 year old in ‘comfort’ Swiftly, she navigated through cars held in traffic An adventurous smile tugging at her split lips Providing snacks for impatient car-owners And though panting from car-chasing, She had a visible life of passionate content She probably planned to get off the street, Forsake her hypothetical ‘street-urchin boyfriend’, Give up this demeaning way of living, But I feared she wouldn’t! She hadn’t been wired to get off the street And sadly, she was too content to stage a forced exit. Children on the road and teenagers of the road, Not choosing to be this vulnerable Yet hooded and shrouded in the cold, Filled with shreds of hope that the fut...

#POETRY# MOMENTS

So, it’s another Monday. Today’s poem is on moments, appreciating them and taking second looks at the seemingly mundane. Enjoy! MOMENTS You never know, you just never know There he was last night, holding your hands, Looking into your eyes with passion beyond expression, And then; here he was this morning, telling a sad tale of never! Who knew love could become so tasteless overnight? It had seemed over in less than a flash; So much for the deep love you shared. Where it all ends, you just never know! Memories of baby’s not so far away childhood, Flickered before her eyes like a dimly lit flame Was it not just last summer she had started crawling? And in what appeared to be less than 24hours, She had walked, jumped and taken sandwiches to school And now, she fit smugly into a graduation gown, cape and all, Her baby was now a grown woman And those memories were all she had left! He stroked her tapered fingers lovingly as he wept by her beds...

GOD; will you help?

Isa 66:9 Do I open the womb and not deliver the baby? Picture this: A woman is wheeled into the operating theatre (if you haven’t been in one before, you must have seen one in movies). She has been informed that a caesarian section would be performed on her, for which she has given written consent. And so the obstetrician is poised for surgery. Subsequently, he makes an incision on her abdomen. Cuts through layers of skin, fat, fascia and muscles. Finally, he locates and opens up the uterus. Pause. He says he cannot go on. He is tired of the surgery.  Just too tired to go on. He wants to rest. He removes his gloves and gown, walks out of the suite with the woman still on the table, a breached uterus with a nearly non-viable child, whose rapidly declining heart rate screams in horror, still within. Does this make even the minutest amount of sense? I hope not. Because it doesn’t. Isa 66:9 Do I open the womb and not deliver the baby? Sometimes,...
