20. Michelin Stars: Conclusion The journey to being a savant should never be measured by the number of Michelin Stars I get but should instead be taken into perspective. Trying my best and being brave and firm in principles will often warrant a win in book. Lastly but perhaps more importantly is the way you treat the people you take with you or you encounter on the trip. Much like eating out, the restaurant need not be decorated to satisfy a customer. In fact more can be taken from the experience. That said, I strive to make the people involved in my journey and continue to improve and move forward without losing myself.
Notes de l'éditeur
Dependable not only means being obedient but also at the same time, making my parents proud for things they did not necessarily tell me to do. For example graduating from a prestigious school, fulfilling their wishes and always putting family first.
Because I am three years older than my brother, I automatically know a few more things about life and medical school. I am here not only to help him with his studies but to always let him know that there will be someone to guide him when things get rough.
Uncooperative meaning always exciting. Whether it’s studying, eating out or simply doing nothing it pays to keep things interesting and light. Despite the misleading title it means being able to function as a unit and remain in sync with each other.
It’s not enough to just get the work done but to also get it done on the date and time agreed upon. Working with groupmates also means learning to work together to be the best team we can be while still managing to enjoy each other’s company.
Though I may always be missing in action when my high school organize dinners and events, I always make sure to remain in close contact with them. After all being a friend will always mean more than just being physically present.
Being an Ateneo clerk means juggling quite a lot of responsibilities. We have MBA subjects on top of the medicine course. As such I seek to find balance in prioritizing between the many different subjects we have. In addition to that being a pioneer is not without its burdens. As such I seek to face the challenge head on to not only prove my school and program’s cedibility but to show the world that one must never be afraid to be different and to believe. I hope to be able to integrate the MD and MBA in future practice through not only being a run of the mill physician. Depending on the specialty I go to I can perhaps integrate it by being a Sleep Specialist with her own sleep laboratory or an Oncologist with Cancer center and research facility that employs a holistic approach in the treatment of the disease.
Because life cannot be all work and no play, I will include what is perhaps my biggest passion. It is no secret that I like good food and have been known to constantly eat like there’s no tomorrow. That said, I believe I can use this to create a business that I will not only be profitable but something that I will truly enjoy running be it a high end restaurant, food lab, food tasting company.
The different methods to monitor my progress and to ensure that I keep going on my chosen path.
