This is a year where many of my class of 2019<br />
classmates are becoming university graduates<br />
while I am in the fourth year of dentistry. I am sure<br />
all of us felt a sudden weight on our shoulders<br />
because time flies so quickly yet so quietly. Second<br />
year into my clinic life, I found a new experience<br />
and challenge in my training while dealing with real<br />
patients instead of phantom heads in the<br />
simulation labs. There are no school bells to define<br />
a line between being on and off from work, I still<br />
have to arrange appointments with patients, revise<br />
and practice to perfect my dental work after<br />
school. Perhaps it is the profound sense of reward<br />
or the urge to reciprocate patients’ trust that<br />
drives me forward. It could be the small things like<br />
a patient saying thank you, or when they start<br />
confiding in you like a friend.<br />
One thing I appreciate CKY the most was the<br />
opportunities to explore every possible interest I<br />
have which helped me to find out what I am truly<br />
passionate about. My advice is to join as many<br />
activities as you can, have as much fun as you can<br />
and enjoy the tight-knit community here. This is<br />
what I missed having the most going through ups<br />
and downs in university.<br />
