In the previous episode (S1E15), I forgot to mention it, but the director of our center felt very emotive on my graduation day. "The fact that a student, who came from a social background as difficult as hers, was awarded the highest GPA in the Dentistry class, makes me believe in the future of our profession," he said at the ceremony, dropping some tears and turning off the microphone right after. Well, that teacher called me to talk to him.
When I went to talk to him, he congratulated me and said “if you want to be a teacher or do a master's degree, you should stay here, even if it's difficult. Scholarships are offered every year and you can apply for one of them. If you go back to your parents' land, you will eventually find a job there and you will not have the courage to quit your job to start a master's degree.” Those words were very powerful. Thus, I decided that while I was working, I would also prepare myself for the master’s entrance exam.
Between the intervals of every email sent, I talked to my teacher and said that I would like to do a master's degree. Everything was falling into place because she worked with systematic reviews, a research type I could conduct from home and balance with baby care. Would it be the easiest way? No. But I never liked the easy stuff, and that would give me more prospects for future work. Besides, I did not have my own clinic and it would be practically impossible to work as a dentist with a newborn baby by my side. I also decided that I wanted to be my daughter's mother, live and experience motherhood in its essence, and raise her in my own way. So, this was the best option for me, Axe, and Serena.
