Done !

I came to a place where I knew no one but with time I made friends who have been with me till now . I met people from different parts of the world and I tried to live with them in harmony . It has not always been easy to live with them because we have all been raised in different homes and traditions .I am greatful for friends like Xiao Chiann , girl I will never forget you . I know that we have never really been best of friends but our friendship was worth . You were one of those few friends that I had before some people came into my life . You might have moved to another city a thousand miles from Peters but I still cherish the moments that we spent together the first 3 years .I am thankful for all the friends that I have had throughout the 7 years that I have spent so far away from home . Russia ended up being my second home because of the friends that were with me through good times and tough times . Friendships are forever and no matter how far all of you go , I will always cherish the moments that we spent together.
Life in Russia has never been easy , from the harsh winters which are not excuses for me to miss classes to harsh people who are still not informed that we are all equal . I met racists and have been called names but in the end I got used and accepted the fact that other people will always be cold . I have been mugged too and this resulted into me getting a beat up , that was one of the worst things that I ever experienced . When I was on the ground and getting that beat up I had so many unanswered questions . Was that the end ?Was that the way I was going to die ? What will my parents do? Who can help me? But God is a merciful and I was not killed during all this . My parents thought about my safety and wanted me to go back home but I refused because what will not kill you will make you stronger .
This journey was an interesting journey all , from studying cell biology to studying surgery . I have met different teachers , some who just hated their jobs and were very bitter while others were so kind and taught us many things . I used to think that when I graduate I would have enough strength to speak my mind to all those mean teachers but right now I so filled with happiness to shout to hurt a fly . The things that I have learned in medical school have helped me a lot during the time that I have been doing my summer practice at Kamuzu central Hospital and I will forever use the skills and knowledge that I have acquired from this place.
Graduating is not the end of this all , its actually the beginning of a new life . A beginning of new experiences because experience is the best teacher . I am a different person because of my life here in Russia , the friends that I made , the people from all different walks that I came across .I will this place , the people that I met , the cuisine , the environment , the wonderful changes that occur in each season.But I guess it is time I grow up and go into the real world and save lives as per Geneva declaration . This is just the beginning of a new chapter of my life and I will fly like a cannonball fired from Russia .
