A Sabotaged Morning
The morning of my medical entrance exam started in chaos. I woke up in shock—every alarm had been turned off. I had only minutes before the test began.
Panicked, I ran to my stepmother, Linda, hoping for help. Instead, she met me with cold indifference. “Maybe you’re not meant to be a doctor if you can’t wake up,” she said.
A Shocking Truth
Just as I felt helpless, my younger brother Jason stepped forward. With courage, he revealed what he saw: Linda had disabled my alarms the night before.
She denied it at first. But under pressure, she confessed. Her reason? She believed becoming a doctor wasn’t worth the investment.
A Brother’s Quick Action
Without wasting time, Jason had already called the police. When the officers arrived, they listened carefully. They believed us—and acted fast. Lights flashing and sirens blaring, they rushed me to the exam center.
We got there moments after the doors closed. Thankfully, one kind proctor heard our story and let me in.
A Determined Test
I sat down, took a deep breath, and focused. I refused to let Linda’s sabotage define my future.
Facing the Fallout
Back home, Jason and I told our dad everything. His disappointment in Linda was immediate. When she tried to explain herself, he cut her off. “You’re no longer welcome here,” he said firmly.
For the first time in years, our home felt peaceful. Safe. Supportive.
Stronger Than Ever
That day taught me something powerful. Dreams can be fragile, but with love, courage, and a brother like Jason, even the worst setbacks can be overcome.
My journey to becoming a doctor was nearly derailed. But now, I’m back on track—and stronger than ever.
