"To get there.. omygosh.. Di ako natutulog kape kape ko 4x isang araw..di ako nakakaexercise.." Just want to let type A personality people know - if you don't take care of your body, your body will not take care of you. Alot time for physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being. Dropped this advice because there was a time I pushed myself so hard to the point of not just exhaustion but a near death experience. Found myself in a hospital bed admitted to the institution I serve to. I hope Doktaura now lessens her caffeine consumption and finds time to exercise. -Doktaura's #1 fan & #1 critic

[@jomarlandicho3594]

that “wala pa akong nararating, proud na sila sakin” always gets me everytime. When i go to my parents’ workplace, people would approach me “ikaw ba yung anak nila na nagdodoktor?” Could not answer them with all smiles because it makes me feel bad when i fail an exam after failing exams the previous weeks. Also, i watched that vid back in college and now in med school whilst on a pandemic (which i never have imagined din), i could totally relate. I didnt know med school would be more than just an academic struggle but it doesnt make me wanna stop (as of the moment 😅) Best of luck, Dok. 🤗

The moment you want to quit, remember the reason why you'd fight for so long. I'm still at my 2nd year at PLM-Physical Therapy but the pressure of online classes really outweighs the eagerness for all of us to learn. Those who are reading this and needed the motivation to push through, just believe in your dreams and it's always ok to have setbacks and have breakdowns every now and then but always believe that things will get better and your dreams will be yours without you noticing it. Baby Steps lang it's small but it's progress.

I'm currently a 2nd year medtech student and will pursue medicine (hopefully) because that is my dad's dream for me. Never I have dreamed of being a doctor ever since when I was a kid. They also keep on mentioning that if ever, I'll be the "first doctor in our family", and that also puts pressure on me. Whenever I'm struggling I always blame my parents about them pushing me to be a doctor someday. But I can't deny the fact that so far I'm enjoying while studying my course program right now. This year I realized that I've learned to love this field. Now, I'm not only studying for my parents to be proud of me but I'm also studying hard to pursue this long-term goal of mine. To Doc Aura, you are actually one of the reason why I was convinced by my family to study medicine. I watched all your videos back in summer 2018, a year before I enter college. I was inspired and amazed how beautiful this field is. The video that most inspired me is your interview with the Doctor from the DTTB program. I'm considering also to work as DTTB in the future hehe. Anyways, God bless you Doc and stay safe. :)

[@illumilumi6809]

I was crying the whole time watching this video. I am a currently struggling third year medical laboratory science student. In this time of pandemic, it was really difficult for me to adjust about everything. This year should be the time wherein we put everything into practice based on what we have learned during our lecture classes. But instead, we are just bombarded with loads of school works and just try to imagine things because we cannot perform it. My anxiety gets worse every time I think about what will happen to us next school year wherein there will be a possibility of face to face classes. Our laboratory classes that we were not able to take will be simultaneous with our classes for the second semester. This academic school year will definitely be chaotic, I just hope that everything will be fine because I can't even trust our own university with their own decisions.

[@rhijennalog2032]

[@keziaapalisoc7561]

Hi doc aura! I’m so grateful for this video, it helped me a lot to hold on to my dreams.. studying in nursing school is really hard in this pandemic, we’re doing case studies online but we don’t really have our actual patient... It’s really hard to imagine everything knowing that we need to apply our learnings into skills, I have even reached to the point of thinking to discontinue my studies until this whole pandemic ends but I don’t want to disappoint my parents so I have to struggle independently... but these 3 words GRACE,GRIT, GRATITUDE had made me realized that I have to continue no matter what happens. That my discouragements are just some tiny point in my struggles and in the process of achieving my dreams. Thank you sm doc🥰 hoping for more insp vids

[@abijanepaige]

I'm crying coz i'm watching this while on my break from studying for my finals. Super struggle ng med school online; aside from hindi raw yung learning, we basically have to teach ourselves talaga. Rely on the vids, ppts, books, tapos olats pa din, mababa pa din ang scores. Tama ka doc, nakuquestion ko na talaga bat ako nag-med, lisensyadong propesyunal naman na ako pero bat ko to pinasok? T_T 1st year med student ako and in our school, our batch is always tagged as the brave batch bec we chose to continue medschool in the midst of pandemic. But really, if only i knew i would go through this, i would have thought my decision twice. pero wala e, pinili ko 'to. there must be a reason for these. hindi ko pa talaga makita yung "it will get better" but i'm looking forward to it. Thank you doc for this very motivational video. out of all the lec vids i've been drowning myself with, this is such a breather for a struggling med student like me. Okay, back to study na me. hehe

[@alcantarajohnmathewo5915]

Thank you Doc Aura! Laban lang po ng laban! Next year na po ang start ng premed ko po and dahil po sa inyo ay super namomotivate po ako... Thank you for being an inspiration po for me and everyone out there!!

i'm watching this now, 15 minutes before my midterms, crying. thank you for this, doc.

[@shock8850]

Thank you for the comfort Dok Aura. I wa bawling my eyes out on the last half of the video. The suppressed emotions just came out. These past few months have been a struggle mentally for me. I have been feeling depressed and demotivated to work. I have been feeling drained from the work from home setup plus the retrenchment that's been happening in my company has brought me great anxiety. And the pandemic is still not over. The situation is just too tiring where I feel like everything is forced that we have no choice and we're just doing this for the sake of formality. I'm very thankful that I have this job. I'm thankful that my family's safe and that we live comfortably. And that should be my motivation to work harder. But my mind just won't cooperate. Right now I'm debating if I should resign and find a new job amidst this pandemic. That maybe I need a new environment. But what if I make the wrong decision and everything fails? Should I leave my job where I feel safe? I'm so confused right now.

Thank you Doc Aura. Talagang ang Hirap mag med school ngayong pandemic. I am currently a medstudent and literal na naiyak din ako lalo na noon first month ng medschool and nagkaroon kami ng SGD, naiyak ako infront of my classmates. Ramdam ko yong pressure and takot na baka mawalan ng scholarship. And yong pagkakape grabe doc, kahit 12am na nagkakape padin ako. Thank you Doc Aura. I am a silent fan of yours sa PBB pa noon and since nung nanonood nako ng vlog mo. Sa video mong to, narealize ko na yes, we’re so lucky na andito kami. This pandemic won’t stop me, LABAN lang para sa pangarap.

mygad doc, naiiyak ako while watching this. I'm having hard time studying in my pre med right now. I decided to stop since grabe talaga yung online class. Napipressure na talaga ako sa mga nangyayari. I actually having anxiety but then i talked to my mom because im also having mental breakdown. And ngayon I decided to think also if med is for me. Thank you doc I think i have to think thrice.

[@angelavill]

Doc Aura thank you po for the encouraging message. I REALLY NEEDED THIS. I’ve been struggling especially now that I am a 4th year med student. I honestly feel useless here at home. I was really looking forward to clinical rotation kasi po puro po kami simulations and proxy patients nung third year. But because of the pandemic our school decided for us to do online sessions or didactics. Struggle po for both students and profs. 😭 But your video po is comforting and very encouraging thank you 🥺😭❤️

I never comment on youtube videos, but with this content... I will. I am currently a 3rd year medical student. And being at this year during this pandemic is double the struggle, double the pressure, and double the fear- fear of being an "almost" student. I have had more breakdowns this year alone than I probably had the years before. Online med school is exhausting. I have had multiple burnout moments. I even reached the point when I started telling myself, "Ayaw ko na." My medschool friends have always been there. Being able to talk to people who share the same struggles as yours really helped both ways. Minsan sasabihin namin "ano? iiyak na ba tayo? kelangan sabay tayo. para sabay din tayong babangon." These little things were a big help in overcoming the anxieties that come with medschool, moreso online. As what I have been telling myself... You will have BREAKOUTS. You will have more BREAKDOWNS..... but soon, you will have your BREAKTHROUGH. I would like to thank you Doc Aura for validating my (our) struggles, and for reminding us our purpose, and telling us to just HANG IN THERE, IT WILL GET BETTER. Thank you!!! God bless you more!!! :)

Hi Doc Aura! Lagi kong pinapanood yung PBB video mo tuwing nagbbreakdown ako nung nagaaral for November 2020 PLE :( I am a Communication Arts graduate kaya super struggle talaga ang buhay ko sa medschool. Sobrang unsure ako kung itutuloy ko ba ang medicine kasi parang ang daming naniniwala na hindi ko kakayanin, pero kahit ganun ang situation, totoo na ang pamilya mo ang number one supporter mo sa journey na ito. Kailangan mo ng the best support system para maging lighter ang buhay sa medschool :) Thank you for sharing your experiences and becoming an inspiration to all medstudents, and even aspiring doctors. Maraming maraming salamat Doc! Sana makawork po kita soon :) God bless you and ingat po lagi!

I have to agree. Always remember that you are living someone else's dream right now. Not all students do have the capacity to study medicine even if they wanted to, admit it. And I'm that student. So happy for you Doc Au! And if you are a med student right now, hang in there, laban, always remember na its okay to fail as long as you know how to move forward. Laban lang, and I hope na sana makamit niyo yang title na yan and serve the public! :)

Yung timing ng video super ganda. Kasi masakit lang na yung expectations ng family mo sa'yo hindi mo ma-live out. Tapos, parang di pa sila happy sa kung anong na-achieve mo lang. Parang yung expectations nila na-adapt mo na. And yung nararamdaman mo hindi mo masabi kasi Ikaw na mismo pumipigil sa self mo kasi natatakot ako ulit na ma-disappoint sila. Yung classmates ko naman, alam lang nila part lang ako ng honor roll Pero yung iyak tuwing gabi, yung words kasi na sinasabi sa akin na akala ko matalino ka kaso hindi ka naman nanalo doon. Grabe yung tusok e. Hindi naman ako iyakin, pero pag dating sa ganoon, hindi ko alam Bakit super sakit. Thank you ate Aura for this, and isa ko pang motto in life: Grit, Grace, Gratitude!

Thank you Doc Aura for this! I just stumbled upon this video and this is what I needed after breaking down few hours ago. Sometimes when people (or relatives) see me cry or breakdown because of school they would tell me that I am too emotional or sensitive or weak and sometimes it triggers me. Kaya minsan kinikimkim ko nalang and ang hirap lalo na wala yung friends dahil online class. School was my escape from home and ang hirap ngayong online class na lagi ka sa bahay and u deal with those types of people. I miss my friends so much 😩😭

Thank you so much for this video Doc. I am not a doctor, but the self imposed pressure is so true. I am the breadwinner, and every move of mine as the eldest child, i thought that it is watched. It is calculated. I appreciate this video. On the other hand, I will keep this. I am studying for NMAT for a second degree, I am old but I know the journey will be like a roller coaster, but surely everything will be worth it. Thank you.

4 years later, same feels Aura! :(

You inspired me so much, Doc Au. All of your videos really motivates me to finally go to med school and pursue my dreams. I can relate with the pressure you're talking about in the PBB video since college days because I'm fully reliant on scholarships talaga and now I will be taking the risk of pursuing medicine with a full scholarship again. I'm actually scared because I know that med school is really hard but I will not let this hinder me from reaching my dreams. Thank you so much, Doc Au. Keep safe. God bless you always 💖

Wow, what a fight you did, you have a strong will, strong mind, youtube recommend your vlog, i watch a lot of TED talk inspirational self motivation and stuff now I get you, studying is one of the hardest thing to be motivated into it takes courage and sheer strength of the mind to keep pushing I feel tired just thinking about it hahaha buti hindi para sa akin mag aral ng ganyan you guys are dedicated.

[@janelcanon2496]

Your videos made me more inspired to go to med school. Thank you doc Aura! 😭❤

[@siriusblack6337]

Hi doc! Youve been an inspiration to me in my journey towards medschool. But im not lined up in those typical premed courses, an educ grad btw. Ive been looking up to all of those dedicated docs out there since elem days. That grit that you doc mentioned, empowers me more. But my journey is more of persistence and passion. It will be so hard and i expect real struggles. But one thing is for sure, Im in the zone. Keep posting doc aura, pls. 🔥🔥 #aarti pa ba ko?

[@yourbrokesis4829]

Thank you doc 😭 Means a lot.

[@adelah3879]

Whatever your Dream or course you need to strive well & Happy whatever the result. Mind your own GOAL, As long as you have a GOAL thats enough just don't give up. Dream will came true. ACCEPTANCE whatever the outcome😊

[@just_cintha4502]

Thank you for this doc. This is just what I need to push through with my dreams. 💕
