* You Are *

Let me just be honest and straightforward now.
(mainly because, after 4 months of working, I have lost my talent for covering things up.)

Here is what I think of people who got married and have children when they are studying medicine:
You are brave. You are very brave, actually.

You made a choice during a very critical time of your life; the time of your life when you are building a future. I say "a future" because there are a lot of futures in one's life. During when you are building a future, you add another future. That is why you are brave.

Since you are brave enough to make that choice, I believe that you have the strength and wisdom to succeed in both fronts. I believe that you have contemplated the consequences and effects of your choice and you have a solid plan. I believe you know what you are doing.

Some people may think of it as a handicap and maybe they are right. But, you are the one who has the power to actually make it a handicap...or an advantage. If you think of it as a disadvantage too, then you have to work twice as hard as the other people. Twice as hard does not mean studying twice longer; it just means you have to be smarter and more organized than the other average people.

I am not here to pass judgement. I am just here giving my opinion.

Even if I do not agree with your choices, I do believe in you.

I believe you can do it.

Why?

Because you made your choice. The only thing you can do after that is to make it work for you.

But, seriously, getting married right before final exams (with the fact that you only have 1 month study leave)? Seriously?

Good luck, then.
