This is a letter, which I wrote before starting off my OBS/GYN rotation during med school. I don’t know how many of you find writing something down as a motivational tool to study but I found that to be extremely helpful!
Dear Sarnia,
First write a blog post about it, play an instrumental song, makes you more productive. GYN and OBS is full of practical, OSPE, Viva and written. So start of the two things that over –lap, Viva and OSPE and then end up practicing for written. Start of slow, with patience, that’s what you need when you want to start of things, “start slow!”
First day, try finishing two topics and relax, you can’t burden your mind, that precious minds that pops of when a teachers asks you. Start off one topic and finish it, I have seen you change your mind change from one topic to another, do not do that, it hampers your biological memory clock.
Allow others to be productive in class but never feel scared to ask a question in the class, even if the question is silly. Avoid hate, anger, fear from you mind. These things affect your brain, which is the most precious gift that mankind has ever received. Make sure you do not insult it with foul thoughts of being depressed, alone and insecure.
Life goes on as usual; the only thing that will change is you! The person that you are now, and after a vacation are two separate people. Patience will reward you well!
Yours Sincerely
Mind
