ADN- Valedictorian Batch 2025 , June
It was a gruesome and intensive two year experience of late night spent striving for success. Learning the odds, of waking up early and in between clinical rotation shifts. Learning both theory and clinical skills that demands, strategies and critical thinking ability. It is a combination of discipline, grit, perseverance and resilience, not only to be the top of the class but to reach the milestone. I faced obstacles and insurmountable challenges during the journey but i remained steadfast to complete the race.
