[@VioletSyw]

How many year do you have to attend medical school to become doctor

[@BebotMonatcho]

Love ❤😢😊

[@KJ-lx2me]

That first guy seems that he cld be a good mentor, so encouraging and I feel inspired with his advice. You're so lucky to meet good people, that's a blessing in your life, Zeliha

[@themiagomes]

Knowing that she is my inspiration to keep up my studies and get into college is very rewarding to see how far she has come. Please never stop posting, your videos have made me a better student.

[@OliveInfinity]

mee too😍

[@stormboy87]

I have been part of your study journey , at that time it was abt 200k subs and I still remember the line from u that still motivated me "LETS STUDY SO THAT WE DONT NEED LUCK" OMG ts amazing 🤩

[@zelihaakpinar]

thank you for sticking around, it so nice to have you here 🥹

[@TDK-ty4cl]

I'm a screenwriter, and when I need a break from scene construction, I come here and watch one of your videos. They are always positive and inspirational. Be healthy and happy, and I hope your life journey is rewarding. You're going to be an amazing Doctor.

[@sonyawix5871]

Hi! Im working to go into a different field, but my life-long interest lies in storytelling) If you have time and don’t mind gifting me some of it, I would very much appreciate to know your process of constructing a scene. How is it done, exactly? Thank you❤

[@yazzybean]

I've been binge watching your videos over the Christmas break, so excited that you've uploaded!!!

[@tuanakontas]

The best notification of KZbin during my study break is that I am doing my best this year to become a doctor.Greetings from Ordu Turkey❤

[@MahendrasinghRajbanshi]

Are you preparing for entrance to get into med school?

[@unsaali4201]

I am 2nd year medical student and my exams are next month (in Jan) and I got her notification in my study break, so happy

[@MahendrasinghRajbanshi]

@@unsaali4201 wow you are a med student( best of luck for your exams) Honestly can you do me a favor.. By answering some of my questions coz I am going to prepare for my entrance exam to get into medical school and i am still confused abt having a normal life.. how does it feel like to be a med student? Is it normal just like other students doing bachelor? Or is it more stressful and frustrating? Will med students be able to follow other passions as well( like singing content creating learning instrument etc)

[@michieosseo128]

Couldn't agree more with the first statement! Hoping the coming year would be the best for us! :)))

[@unsaali4201]

@@MahendrasinghRajbanshi ok so firstly it feels incredible to be a med student because personally I am loving my career choice and about the normal life question, every student in different field has to study and work hard whether they are med students, engineering students or law students etc etc, so obviously u have to study and u can definitely maintain a good lifestyle, it is only stressful in exams days otherwise if u study everyday for little hours it's good, and about that stressful situation it depends on how u perceive it, see it more like "oh wow I have so much to learn :)" rather than "oh no there is so much to learn :(" and yes med students can also follow their passion, they just have to know how to maintain everything many students from my batch participate in speeches, arts, singing etc etc

[@austinhayles3328]

Your channel is genuinely inspirational, I'm out here procrastinating about a 2nd year university 800 word food fraud essay and yet ur out here juggling both a career as a doctor aswell as a youtuber. much respect

[@starscnry]

Zeliha, I'm studying for university admission exam and you're giving me so much inspiration. You're very smart and disciplined. Sometimes when I'm feeling lazy i remember some of your words or your work discipline comes to my mind and I force myself to do something.

[@aestheticallypretty3440]

Mutual feeling here ! I motivate myself by watching her and learning from her .

[@snowecaddel9454]

I’m preparing too!!

[@Rob89139]

It has been a real treat getting caught up on this channel and I applaud this girl for every accomplishment she has achieved. For those who have watched you know just how much time and effort Zeliha put into getting through Med School and I am certain she will be an amazing doctor. My hope for her is in 2025 she comes to realize how much her viewers appreciate her for bringing us along on this journey. God Bless Zeliha and bring her continued growth.

[@RoseWilson]

I'm so happy you qualified & are working as a doctor now. Congratulations to you & good luck for the future. Wishing you all the happiness in the world ❤

[@Mashroofafahaar]

Hi! Dr. Zeliha, your videos have been so helpful and educational! I’m from Pakistan and watching your videos has been such an eye-opener for me. Your passion for medicine really shines through. Thank you for all the amazing work you do. Keep inspiring us! 💖

[@AvinDehghan-h8b]

you are wonderful Waking up at 4 am is not easy It is not easy to study continuously and maintain a routine But you do and I really enjoy what you do You are a role model for many of us, girl

[@gingerayyle]

I was not expecting to burst out laughing at the hoodie reveal, it's perfect 😭

[@haidnyk1234]

"Zeliha, watching your journey gives me strength on days when I feel like giving up. Your dedication and passion remind me why I chose this path, even when it feels overwhelming. You inspire me to stay strong and keep chasing my dream of becoming a doctor. Thank you for being a light in my darkest moments."

[@omaditya3545]

Hey Zeliha, just wanted to say that I just started watching your videos this year and motivated me a lot. It was very inspiring and fun to watch you! Thank you for all the inspiration.❤ Wishing you a Happy New Year!

[@jaybee4288]

Try to be positive about your apartment and town Zeliha, you have come so far and achieved so much, you are smashing it. So make sure to enjoy this part because you will probably miss it when you do go to London etc!

[@paulie4450]

No matter what career path you take, things rarely go as planned. But they help you grow in a way plain, smooth sailing would never provide. When you have to tap into your own reserves of grit, it leads to a sort of superpower that transcends career paths. You end up using that same grit in other aspects of life, which other folks may not have.

[@omaditya3545]

Hey Zeliha, just wanted to say that I just started watching your videos this year and motivated me a lot. It was very inspiring and fun to watch you! Thank you for all the inspiration and I hope you continue to motivate next year as well.❤ Wishing you a Happy New Year!

Love when she said “it’s more authentic” ♥️

[@indiasong29]

Yeah but her sister had said no :s She clearly didn't feel comfortable showing her living conditions to 1 million people, so I think it should have been respected, don't you think?

[@M-.-J]

I was just an average student 🤔, but I had a lot of potential 💡. However, I lacked discipline 🔒 and the motivation to study 🔥. But ever since I started watching your videos 📹, I've felt motivated 💪 and my academic growth has improved 📈. Your study tips and advice 📚 have inspired me to study better 📖 and now I'm actually interested in learning 🤓. I've learned how to stay focused and avoid distractions 🙅‍♂, and I've developed a growth mindset 🤯. Thanks to you 🙏, I've learned many new things from your videos 📹, such as: - Journaling 📝 - Using Notion 📊 -- How to improve my dressing sense 👕 I've also learned how to prioritize my tasks 📝, manage my time ⏰, and set goals 🎯. And, I've gained confidence in myself 💪 and my abilities 🤩. I'm grateful for all these things 🙏 and I must say, I've changed a lot since I started watching your videos 📹. You've had a direct or indirect impact on my life 🤝 and I appreciate it 🙏. Thanks again 🙏👏

Merhaba Zeliha. İngilizce öğreniyorum ve bu videonu izledim. o kadar faydalı oldu ki anlatamam. sadece kendi koyduğun ingilizce altyazıyıyla seni izledim. Çeviri yapmadım. Arkadaşlara da tavsiyem şu ki mesela cümleyi söylerken so, whic, in vs. bağlaçlar kalıplar vs. neden cümlede konuşurken oraya koydu chat gbt ile aratıp bakmaları. İnanılmaz faydalı oldu. Teşekkürlerrr

[@FrostKing104]

Wow, five months is crazy! I'll admit it's a worry of mine that I won't know what to do with myself after college. I don't know if I'd say these videos are confirming, but maybe therapeutic. Rest assured I'll keep watching for many years to come!

[@See3_3e]
