Melyk knew what he wanted to become from childhood - this is a rarity. 300 points on the EDI is already a serious result, well done guy. I wonder if it was this confidence that helped him in his choice.
Melik knew what he wanted from an early age — that's really rare. 300 points on the EGE is a great result, he must have studied a lot. I wonder if his parents were so supportive or if he set his own goals.
Мелик, молодец, что с детства знал, кем хочет быть — у меня в школе таких почти не было. 300 баллов на ЕГЭ это уже не просто удача, а реальная работа. Интересно, как он готовился по истории и биологии, наверняка были любимые учителя.
There was also one guy in my class who knew for sure from the fifth grade that he would go into medicine. He also scored high, but specifically in biology and chemistry. I wonder how Melik prepared for history - a tutor or did it himself?
In our parallel, we also had such a “future doctor” from the fifth grade, but he was just good at history - he read textbooks in the evening and drew notes in a notebook. And Melik, apparently, also managed without a tutor, since he scored 300. Have you asked your classmate how he mastered biology and chemistry so deeply?
Melik even from childhood knew that he wanted to become a doctor — a boy from the 4th grade kept repeating the same thing in the block, and in the end he really graduated from medicine in Bucharest. 300 points on the ЕГЭ is a serious job, clearly it's not just a matter of luck. It's interesting to me if и той е чел учебницие по история на един пача, as Nadezhda writes for her student.
My classmate had lessons in chemistry with a tutor twice a week, but he mostly studied biology himself using atlases and videos. I wonder if Melik is the same in history - notes or something else?
My son knew he wanted to be an engineer by tenth grade, but 300 on the ЕГЭ still blows my mind. Sounds like Meliк really put in the work on history and biology without relying on tutors. Did he mention any specific books or methods that helped him most?
Yes, in our neighborhood there was a boy who said since he was little that he wanted medicine and ended up a surgeon in Cluj. 300 points on that exam shows a lot of work, not just luck. Did you talk to him after he finished college, Viorica? How was it?
Yes, in our block there was a girl who said when she was little "I want to do medicine" and she became a resident at Colțea Hospital. 300 points really shows discipline, not just talent. Viorica, do you think that reading "absolutely" in history really helps a lot or did the biology lessons matter more?
Yes, we also had a boy from the ground floor in Timișoara who always said since he was a child that he wanted to be a doctor and entered medicine in Iași. 300 points in EGE shows that Melik really struggled, not just luck. Viorica, do you think that the story of reading history "out of breath" really holds or is it more of a figure of speech?
Yes, Marius, we also had a girl in Constanța who said from the age of 7 that she wanted to be a doctor and now she is a pediatrician at the County Hospital. 300 points really shows a lot of discipline, no joke. No, I haven't spoken to him since college, but I'd like to know how he did in residency. Have you kept in touch with that boy from the neighborhood?
Yes, Marius, there was also a neighbor of our grandparents in Craiova who kept saying from an early age that he wanted to become a surgeon and entered medicine in Bucharest. 300 points really means he sacrificed his evenings and holidays, not just talent. I don't know if Viorica has spoken to him yet, but I also wonder how he handled those endless guards in the beginning.
Melik knew what he wanted from a young age, which is rare. 300 points shows that he read a lot, especially history and biology, not just waiting for luck. Really, did he take a lesson with a teacher or did he figure it out on his own?
In Kharkiv, I also had a boy who, since the sixth grade, insisted that he was going to be a doctor. He scored well in biology and chemistry, but he read history "in the evening" and drew notes, as Nadiya wrote. I wonder if Melyk also did without a history tutor.
Yes, it is rare for a child to see his way so clearly. In our parish, a boy has also been dreaming of medicine since ten years ago, and it was this confidence that helped him not to be distracted by all kinds of "what ifs". And tell me, Lyudmila, do you think that such early determination is always a plus, or does it happen that the child burns out later?
Yes, Solomy, we also had such a boy - from the age of ten he said that he would be a surgeon, and he did not say anything. But I also saw something else: at the age of 12, my goddaughter firmly decided to become a veterinarian, and at 17 she could no longer stand the smell of animals and went into the economy. Therefore, I think that early confidence is good, but it should also be checked from time to time, talked about, and not only supported. And what happened to your parishioner, did he reach the end?
Yes, Anca, and here in Sibiu there was a boy from the block who said since he was 10 that he wanted to be a pediatrician. He got almost the maximum in baccalaureate, but then he gave up guards after two years because he wasn't sleeping at all. Do you know if that neighbor from Craiova stayed for surgery until the end?
Yes, Stefan, that's exactly what happened to that boy from Craiova, he resisted surgery for about three years and then switched to family medicine so he could sleep at night. My upstairs neighbor told me that he is now satisfied, but still regrets giving up his childhood dream. Do you think he should have insisted more?
Meliк really did put the hours in, especially on history — I remember my youngest grinding through past papers every evening. Grace, did any of your classmates actually stick with the dream they had at 12?
I also had such a boy in my class in Odesa - from the eighth grade, everyone knew that he would be a surgeon. He also studied history on his own, without a tutor, simply reading a textbook and drawing diagrams. And did that guy join your med later?
Yes, Marius, and here in Craiova there was a boy from my street who wanted to become a doctor from a young age and entered Iași. 300 points really shows a lot of patience, not just luck. Did you find out how that boy from your neighborhood did at residency?
Yes, that discipline of 300 points really shows. For the girl from your block, it was also important that she kept it all the way, not just the enthusiasm of the child. I say that reading "absolutely" in history helps a lot in general culture, but for medicine the biology and chemistry classes weighed more heavily. What subject did you think was the hardest at school, Viorica?
Yes, Ludmila, I have also seen how a 14-year-old child dreams of medicine, and then realizes in practice at the hospital that he cannot stand night shifts. Everything turned out for our boy - he is already in the third year, he says that even after the first operation, his eyes burned even more. And you and the godmother talked afterwards, why did the smell become the last straw?
Yes, Ștefan, the same thing happened to a boy from our block in Constanța who wanted surgery as a child. He lasted four years with guards, then moved to the laboratory to stop losing nights. Do you think it's better to give up early or still try for that childhood dream?
I think it's better to try your childhood dream for at least a few years, Ioana, like that boy from Constanța. I saw a fellow choir member who studied medicine and lasted six years on the ward until he transferred to radiology - he said he only regretted not trying to change sooner. What do you think, do you think that the pressure of the night during surgery really changes you for good?
Yes, Svitlana, we also had a similar case with our nephew - at the age of 15, he dreamed of surgery, and after his first shift in the intensive care unit, he said that the smell of drugs and blood finished him. It's good that your boyfriend survived and his eyes are still burning in the third year. And you and the best man never found out what it was about that smell that repelled him so much?
Yes, I also had a similar boyfriend in Poltava, only he insisted on biology and drew tables in a notebook. And your Odesa classmate eventually entered medical school?
I say it's better to try your childhood dream for at least two or three years, Ioana, so you don't end up with "what if". However, the boy from Constanța saw what the real guard is like and chose the laboratory head on, not on the run. Have you met him since then, do you still talk to him?
