I only discovered my true passion for medicine after I came to Australia. The facilities are amazing. They enabled us to look deeper and choose science and biology. We also had the teachers who are so passionate and they are always ready to answer your most basic questions and the most complex questions. So all of those things helped me to achieve my dream of being a doctor.
