i have been presented with a chance to do the right thing.
i have come to realise that this is actually a luxury, because as we grow older, we end up doing things that we would not do in an ideal world due to the circumstances we find ourselves in.
in this case, however, what i choose to do or not do could potentially bear a great deal of influence on my future.
(and yes, i am talking about my literal future of graduating and ending up as a doctor)
does this mean that it is time to be 'realistic' and leave my understanding of wrong and right aside, but just for this instance?
or does this mean that i should all the more choose to do what i know is right, regardless of the consequences?
it would be nice (and fair to certain people who have had the misfortune of being in a disadvantaged position to begin with - and i fully understand how this feels, being one of them last year) to do the right thing, because i wholeheartedly believe that i should, and because i really want to.
it would be even nicer to know that i am deserving of the mbchb because i know enough and am capable of being a doctor in my own right.
this might just be one of the times that i am truly proud of myself and what i have become.
:)
