My Bestfriend’s NMAT story

Years ago, my best friend and I came to a point of debate. We are arguing what we are to take in college. He wants us to be at the same course, but I’m not interested in the career he wants to fulfill. He's dreaming to be a doctor and with that, he is to take nursing as a pre-med course. I have just a little interest in taking care of people or curing them (sorry, I believe it’s not my skill) and I knew my self very well that I’m no good in science at all (especially chemistry and biology).

Fortunately after hours of talking and drinking coffee, we came down into a settlement.  We agree to support each other on whatever career we are to pursue. We promise to be there for each other.

Years pass-by, we got the diplomas and here at the same coffee shop we met again. Talking about our future plans, my best friend starts to become serious and talked as how dads were talking. He lay down his future plans and I amazed on one thing, that he is to take NMAT (National Medical Admission Test) to enter medical school.

Hearing this, I drop my cup of coffee and started staring at him saying, “Men are you still on your mind? You are to throw a punch in to the moon! I suggest that you take a breather first, look for a job and earn experience before taking your career to the next level”.  As I’m saying this, he starts to lean on his back and said, “I will meet you at this same hour and shop after six months and I’ll show you my certification that I passed NMAT and enrolled on a medical school”.

That very day came and surprisingly I am came much earlier than him (this is unusual, he's always ahead of me). I thought he didn't make it. I wait for couple of minutes and then he came. Without saying anything he started to open his bag, gets a piece of paper and shows it to me. Suddenly, big laughs heard in the shop. He makes it! I didn't control my happiness to the point that I hug him tight as I hug my lady. I asked him “How did you make it!” He started to tell everything and showed me couple of reviewers. He lifted one up and said this very reviewer makes me through. It is a great help on my NMAT review. I owe everything to this.

Because of his hard work, positive attitudes, dedication, focus and believing in his dreams, he is now a mile away fulfilling it. Truly, no circumstance can hinder us fulfilling our dreams. I know one day will come that I will no longer call him best friend but rather best Doc! This is his merry story!
