  • A for Cognitive UT 2.UNEXPECTED.

woah!I'm so proud of my Reflection Journal today.

Question:Where do you see yourself in 7 years time?

My response:

One’s life is determined by God. I do not know where I will be in 7 years time but if I have the power to decide everything, this is where I see myself in 7 years time.

For the next 2 years, I will graduate from Republic Polytechnic with a Diploma in Biomedical Science mastering in Medical technology. Following academically, I want to pursue my studies in National University of Singapore pursuing in Political Science. This will take up 4 years of my life. By this time, I will be 24 years old. At this point of time, I have already set my goals in life. The reason why I want to pursue my studies in NUS is because I want to contribute as much as possible to the medical research areas in Singapore.

From the above path that I have chosen for me, I will therefore see myself as a medical researcher in Singapore, contributing to the medical areas. I want to do deep research in medicines and thus, helping the people who are down with illnesses that cannot be cured. For example, kidney failure. Till now, there isn’t any cure for kidney failure but only prevention.

I am speaking this from my personal experience. I am actually a kidney transplant patient who had just undergone the transplant in May last year. I was diagnosed with kidney failure in January last year and upon hearing that heartbreaking news from the doctor, I wept and broke down because I am aware there aren’t any medicines that can cure my illness. Instead, the only way to prevent myself from living with kidney failure all my life is by undergoing a transplant; which I relatively think is impossible. Another option is to undergo dialysis thrice a week which is troublesome. The after-effects of doing dialysis are also heavy. But I was proven wrong. My cousin, with full courage and determination, came forward to be a hero for me. She willingly came forward to donate one of her kidneys to me. A t that point of time, I was speechless as I was very grateful to her. She is the one who gave me a new lease of life.

From my experience, I understand how those patients who are diagnosed with kidney failures feel; with themselves diagnosed with an illness, commitments to meet to and also the dialysis to attend to. Therefore, I am determined and motivated to help these patients by contributing as much as I can in the medical research area.

Besides the academic areas, I have already planned for my personal life. I want to see myself married by the age of 25, which is 7 years from now. I want to have someone by my side that I can share my sorrows and happiness with.

In conclusion, I want to see myself leading a happy and stable life.
