I worked for almost four years before I decided to take the board exam, thus making it difficult and overwhelming for me. The weight of the exam, the responsibility, and the unknowns surrounding it made me anxious. But after some reflection, I decided to embrace the challenge and dedicate myself fully to the preparation. The journey was about more than just passing the exam; it was about building the mental and emotional strength to tackle any challenge life throws at you. Persevering in the face of difficulty will not only help you with the board exam but will serve you in every future endeavor.
