Well, the time has come once again. Tomorrow will be my third time taking this exam. There are those of you who know my plight, it is not an easy task to get the competitive score needed to get into the US Programs. But, we must continue to fight for our dreams in life. There is no success without struggle. I have used this powerful phrase as my motivation, as well as what does not kill you makes you stronger. Those of you who know what I am talking about subscribe to the same philosophy. For those of you who get deterred, remember these words and continue, continue to press on. Your goal is attainable no matter how hard it gets. I say this because as long as you put forth the true effort and not lie to yourself or others that may be supporting you through this difficult time you will continue to do better. the first two times I took this exam I did not do well not because I did not want to do well but because I lost faith in myself and the gifts my God has blessed me with. I simply did not know how to study for something that I thought was bigger then me. It is always easier to give into lies and distractions and worst of all fears. I was a victim of my own demise. It was easier to blame my medically diagnosed learning disability and give into my fear. But here I am going for lucky number 3 . This time around me was different. I decided to get into Kaplan. Well, it has proven to advantageous, because it was not the course that helped me as much as the environment and the study group that I got together each day with. With that and all the books and test and videos I started to develop out of my fears. Now I don't' know what I will get But I now this I will get what I deserve and that will be a reflection of the last four months that I gave to this. I go into this tomorrow confident not scared. I know that I gave a valiant effort and if I should not get what I need to get into the programs then I know that I have made a base that will only help me get the best grade possible in the next 91 days. You see this is the success that you have a sense of accomplishment and confidence that you are that much closer to achieving what very much will be a grade that when you look back on all the pain and struggle that it was all worth it. My only wish and hope to all of you is that you continue to strive to be the best. We are a community that knows Struggle and can honestly feel confident that we are more then worthy to practice Dentistry here in America and that when you see your fellow Americans in these programs be proud and know that you are an example for them. Not only as Doctors but more importanly as people. My prays are with each and every one of you and I pray that my God Jesus Christ Bless you and keep you part of His will, Because for Me I know all things are possible through Him who died on the cross for me and was raised for my salvation. My struggle in incomparable to His and I am grateful that because of this I know no matter how bad it gets in this life It will never be the type of struggle that I cant handle. God bless and Good luck to all of you.
