Motivation Letter
Young people are shaping the world. We are 1.8 billion. 1.8 billion dreams, 1.8 billion ideas, and 1.8 billion actions. Dearest SLEMSians, What a journey it has been!! In November of 2015, if anyone would’ve told me that I will come thus far in Med school related politics, I would have certainly considered that to be an overstatement, for a skinny kid raised by a single mum, who grew up and spent his entire life prior to college in the Eastern part of Freetown, such a dream was so far fetched. Now don’t get me wrong, I left high school as the star pupil of my era, a senior school prefect, the best graduating student of my time, the head of publications for the school speculum press, and have always been of the firm conviction that change is created when people with visible and implementable ideas, positive momentum and right work ethics are given the mantle of leadership devoid of sentiment. But as with every other freshman that have gained admission into Med school, I came with the premeditating idea that you come to read books, make good grades and graduate top of your class, with extra curricular including student related politics reserved for students in other areas of studies. Seven (7) years on, I am more than proud to say that SLEMSA and IFMSA have not only changed my perception, but have mounded my character into one which I never imagined upon my arrival. This I must say is a lifetime honor.
