Well apparently I'm a lil' late, but I'll make it worthwhile :)
For as long as i can remember, I knew I had a hidden secret, a whisper in my ear...I just didn't know what it was. I was a curious kid, always wanting to indulge myself in something new, thinking of being an astronaut at 8, a writer at 9, being one of the first few architects to build a city underwater at 10, a singer at 11 (even though I know I'm not singing material :P), a pianist at 12, president at 13 (one could always dream :P), a dentist all the way from years 14-17.
Medicine was ALWAYS in the back of mind though, deeply engraved by my father's words of encouragement, calling me "Dr (my name :P) ever since I was practically 2 years old (Allah yi7fatho wou yijzi kul il 5air) and I was blessed with my mom's constant support in ALL of my dreams (Allah yi5allilee hiyya b9i7a wou salama).
The POINT is, I always wanted to GIVE...give SOMETHING...ANYTHING to make a difference...to be an inspiration for many after me, to my kids and family, to my beloved country. To SHOW the world what a real muslim Saudi woman is capable of accomplishing (and mashallah 3ala the women in our society these days, they are truly making a breakthrough)...In a few years though, WE'LL be the ones making a breakthrough and will EXPLODE with mastery inshallah, and look back on our long long journey and say: "Achievement is where I am standing now, tomorrow what I will constantly be trying to fulfill, and yesterday what I have conquered" - 24th Feb 07 Perky Doc 10.13 pm :P
(i JUST made it up! lol, see what inspiration you guys bestow upon me? ;) )
So back to HOW i chose med in the end even though I've been wanting Dentistry for the past few years...I believe EVERYTHING happens for a reason (I would've named THIS article by that if Savvy Doc hadn't already done so ;p)
I applied for Dentistry after school as my first choice...I got accepted to Medicine though, you know why? because the difference between the score I got and the score required for Dentistry was 0.1!!!! come ON! 0.1?? That DIDN'T make sense at ALL to me at the time....but with time, I remembered that everything happens for a reason...look what I would've missed out on if I'd persued dentistry as a career (even though I still find Orthodontix fascinating hehe).
But what I'm trying to say is that NO power on this earth is equivilant to the power of Faith.
Something as tiny as "0.1" changed my whole career and whole life, and I thank God everyday for the choices he has fascilitated and will fascilitate inshallah for us each and every second of our lives, for the mere reason that THIS is what has already been chosen for YOU! So keep it up Docs of the future! ;)
Love, Perky Doc.

everything does happen for a reason
i wanted med, but im doing dentistry, our destiny switched!
i want a series about dentists
i want a carious fighting mcsteamy!
awwwwwwwww, everything happens for a reason INDEED!!!
i believe signs that guid eu to ur destiny are always infront of u, but we sometimes break the wrong codes, but at the end .. we reach it! but only if we had the guts to fight, and the will to adapt! i always believed in u as a dentist (yes i knew who u r) but now i cant imagine you other than a Doc.. and i'm certain that u'll be an ammazing one! u, and ur friends (most of them :P) have the sparkle of ,aking this world a better place! u all have the ambition and excitment in your tone! although SURPRISINGLY none of u wanted medicine or blved would've ended in medicine!!!!!! :P bas wallah as u said everything happens for a reason! :x bext luck to u all :> :>
omg that's SUCH a cute way of looking at it Eshda3wa! "we switched destinies!" :D it's for the best though ;)
and last ache! ur always such a sweetheart mashallah! You always supported me throughout good times and bad times, I cherish our friendship like no other Allah yi5aleena li ba3d nshallah. :) (there's just so much ppl don't get that we only get :P)*hug*
What you said is very true, ONLY if u had the will to adapt and the power to fight will u reach ur ultimate satisfaction. After all, what's written is written, so u might as well ENJOY it :)
Perky Doc.
