Blog 1- Introduction
Hello everyone, I am Palak from India. Coming from a dental background, it was not until Dr. Doug’s counselling did I realize that my passion lies in treating, making close connection with the patients and creating a whole new family to serve the community. Honestly speaking, I was in the dilemma of whether or not I should continue with dentistry. I was on the verge of quitting it but lessons from MAL gave me a vision, a motive of serving and taught me to bring out something positive in each profession.
As I sail through this course, I can see myself changing, or I would say “transforming”. I always felt lack of experience pulled me down, that I am unable to participate because I din’t know much about professional setting. However, my perspective has totally changed. I know I will do a lot better now when I have so much to learn from my peers, professors, books and most importantly your shared experiences; experiences from all fields, be it teaching, business, non-profit or healthcare. I may not be able to relate these teachings at this point of time, but I know its value in future.
I will always be grateful for this opportunity God has given me to learn from such a supportive class. Looking forward to knowing you all!
