Not a comedian, but there ain't dulling moment with me.
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Let me tell you a story about how I discovered the *best stress-reliever* these past months in medical school. Most times, people think that being in medical requires you to always bury your head under stacks of textbooks, notes, slides and assignments, drowning in the stress that comes with the pursuit of a medical degree, but I try to not let my journey be all of that! Don't get me wrong, those books ain't gonna read themselves, right? But being in medical school shouldn't only be about studying hard and memorizing facts. It’s also about exploring your passions and having fun with your peers. That’s why I love taking part in extracurricular programs that let me express myself and unwind from the compounding stress.

One of these programs was a beauty pageant that our medical association organized in March. It was exciting, and to think that I participated in a pageant when I was doing my nursing degree some years back, I came third. Not bad, but not enough for me. 

It just felt so good to just vibe and be on stage again as well as give my class bragging rights 😅

This time, I was determined to do better. I practiced my walk, my smile, my spoken word—my talent. I chose a stunning outfit and a dazzling makeup. I was confident and I rocked the stage with grace and elegance _(if I do say so myself)._

I couldn’t believe it when they announced my name _(actually, I could, what is the essence of having bragging rights if you don't brag, right?)_ It was such a thrilling moment. I felt proud of myself and happy for my class. They cheered me on and gave me high-fives. We had the best time celebrating our victory.

Oh, and before you ask, no, I didn’t use any drugs to enhance my performance. The only thing I injected was charisma 😉

And don’t worry, I didn’t forget about my studies. I still aced my first medical exams, but that is story for another day. How did I do it? Well, let’s just say that beauty is not only skin deep, but also molecular deep 😎

So, that’s my story of how I became the Queen of UIMSA. What do you think? 8th and 9 the slides are my favorite. Which of the slides is your favourite?
