24th issue

This is a year where many of my class of 2019
classmates are becoming university graduates
while I am in the fourth year of dentistry. I am sure
all of us felt a sudden weight on our shoulders
because time flies so quickly yet so quietly. Second
year into my clinic life, I found a new experience
and challenge in my training while dealing with real
patients instead of phantom heads in the
simulation labs. There are no school bells to define
a line between being on and off from work, I still
have to arrange appointments with patients, revise
and practice to perfect my dental work after
school. Perhaps it is the profound sense of reward
or the urge to reciprocate patients’ trust that
drives me forward. It could be the small things like
a patient saying thank you, or when they start
confiding in you like a friend.
One thing I appreciate CKY the most was the
opportunities to explore every possible interest I
have which helped me to find out what I am truly
passionate about. My advice is to join as many
activities as you can, have as much fun as you can
and enjoy the tight-knit community here. This is
what I missed having the most going through ups
and downs in university.
