That was the sign that Welcomed her on her first day there. All nervous and not knowing what will come of this day she just prayed in her heart to God for His guidance . Walking Past the corridors , there was this sinking feeling in her . Will she be good enough ? Will she be able to survive the storm ? Will she be able to face the coming obstacles ? There he was with a welcoming smile ,teaching her how to go about . She felt happy and relieved, the sinking feeling had vapourised .He was her mentor and her Role model."Will I ever be as successful as him ?" She asked herself as she saw interns coming in and out of the exam room consulting this middle aged man for important opinions. "This is going to be a long day indeed" She thought as she was pushing the ECG cart to the storeroom after she learned her first ECG procedure . She felt it , it was growing in her and made her fall inlove with her future.Interns kept pooping in and out of the exam room , she just wished that she was going to be one of them soon .She now got used to this familiar face that was popping in and out , she was all alone and needed a friend . The lunch break was short but it felt long because the next person sitting next to her was loneliness.The first day ended after a few medical exams after lunch time .On her way home she was so relieved that her day was over and was looking forward to another day filled with new things to learn .That girl is me! On my first day at Kamuzu Central Hospital .
People say home is where your heart is , although I am back in Russia my heart is still at KCH. I miss that welcoming sign that would tell me that I am home away from home , I miss that guard who got used to me and would smile at me every time I would enter and leave the premises .I miss the blue painted long corridor that would lead me to a different world .I miss the nurses who I would crack jokes with everytime I saw them .
Mostly I miss the friends,the ones that encouraged me in a way that nobody would understand . Friends who would separate work from pleasure making sure that I was inline when it came to patients and I was that crazy jumpy girl when we were hanging out together at African Cafe. I miss the jokes that we would crack on lunch time when we would make a circle and sit there.I miss the feeling and that friday fever of wanting to finish work and then just go out there and have fun after the stressful week has bid goodbye .I miss being part of the new family that accepted me as their sister .Days will soon turn into weeks and weeks into months and then I will be there again! Home again !!!
