A degree in medicine will demand from you mental maturity, decision making and courage to study a lot during your whole medical degree.
During your studies, you will have breaking moments but those moments are the difference between the ones who succeed and the ones who don’t. Learn how to overpass those tough moments and you’ll be one step closer to your goal.

It’s easy to forget what your priorities are, especially when you are far from your family if you study abroad.
