The most important thing that I've learned so far(in my shitty experience as a first year medical student who only had a shitty foundation) and that I believe is very important for everyone to know is :
TO NOT GO TO THAT SHITTY COLLEGE CALLED NIRWANA FOR YOUR FOUNDATION.
At least, don't take their short course. If you're really serious about doing medicine, you have to make sure that you've got a proper foundation. So, what if Nirwana provides a very short foundation course??? It's short but your foundation won't be a good one! You want to be a freaking doctor, right??? How in the world are you suppose to save your patient when you've got a shitty foundation before you did your degree?? Let me explain how important your foundation is.
When you start the first year of your degree, you're going to learn a bit of chemistry, biology, physics and a lot of anatomy. You're suppose to learn A-levels/STPM/matriculation level chemistry, biology and physics in your foundation. Now, when you go to a shitty foundation that only teaches you what you ALREADY KNOW from SPM, not what you DON'T KNOW and not the STPM level of whatever you're suppose to know, guess what will happen when you start your degree?
You'll be struggling, man. Like seriously. Instead of being able to focus on what the teacher is teaching you in your degree, you'd have to do EXTRA work since you won't understand what the teacher is teaching, since your foundation is shit and you only know what you've learned for SPM. Of course, the teacher expects you to know what she is teaching about since you're suppose to have a foundation/diploma/STPM/matriculation where you should have learned the basics of what she's teaching. Unfortunately, that's not the case with you since you would only have a shitty foundation that didn't teach you what you really should know about, i.e: shit that you're suppose to know in STPM/A-Levels/Matrix!!
Now, when this happens... you won't be able to focus on what the teacher is teaching, since you won't understand what she's talking about! You'd have to borrow books or ask friends who ACTUALLY had a PROPER foundation(who are all older than you because they are willing to sacrifice time to get a proper foundation) to teach you. I'm sure they'll be amazed at your lack of knowledge.Ooohhh, I can see someone's ego deflating! When you do ask these friends, it's not like they'll be able to help you ALL the time. They're students just like you, it's just that they'll have an easier time studying, seeing how they understand what the teacher is teaching. You, unlike them, have to spend the time that you're suppose to use for your first year studies, to study what you're suppose to learn in your foundation!! Argh. You'd feel like you lack the time. Heck, even people who had proper foundation would feel like they don't have the time,so just try and imagine how you would feel.
If you get stuck in a class where you're the only one who had a shitty foundation... imagine the stress you'll go through... You'd be the only clueless one during class. Oh,man. It sucks to be in that situation, that's for sure. Hey, I was stuck in that situation for a freaking year. You can trust me when I say that it sucks.
Seriously, if you plan to study medicine, please do go for a proper foundation. If you don't, it'll start a chain of unneeded and time-wasting reactions. For example, in your first year, you'd be busy trying to learn on your own what you're suppose to learn in foundation instead of focusing on the things that you are actually learning in your first year. Then, in your 2nd year, you'd be busy trying to catch up with what you should have learned in your 1st year and end up not being able to focus on your 2nd year and this whole thing will go on and on and on and on...!! You get what I mean?
It's okay if you lose a year or two in order to get a proper foundation. You can trust me on that. At least you won't be struggling when you're doing your degree in medicine. Your first year is very important because you'll be learning the basics of everything that has to do with you being a doctor-ANATOMY!! It's very important that you're able to focus on studying that properly because only when you can understand the basics of anatomy can you understand how people get sick and how you can treat the illness that you're patient is suffering.
If you're coming to Russia to study medicine or if you're going to study anywhere in the world, and you're going through an AGENT.. please, please, please don't believe everything that you're agents say. They don't really care about your welfare, they just want your money. I doubt the existence of any agent that actually cares about the students they're sending overseas and not cheating those students of a lot of money at the same time.
Anyway, I went to Nirwana because my agent told me of it. If someone had warned me earlier about the shitty situation that I'd be in if I did a shitty foundation before doing a degree,whatmore a medical degree..I would have sat for a proper foundation instead. Of course, I didn't know that Nirwana's short foundation was a shitty one before I got in. Heck, I never even heard about Nirwana until the agent mentioned its name. If your agent is telling you to go to Nirwana/Lincoln to save time and you are someone who just finished SPM and had never gone for STPM/A-Levels/Matrix, please don't. It'll be okay if you have done STPM/A-Levels/Matrix before, because you had actually done a foundation. I'd say go for it to these people but not to people who only did SPM. But, if you're confident that you can make it, then please go ahead.
If you still do want to go ahead, I suggest you find friends who would be in the same situation as you(meaning, fresh from SPM and didn't have a proper foundation) and make sure you guys are in the same class, that is if you're coming to my university which is in Moscow. I don't know how other universities work. Anyway, by doing so, you guys can help each other out since you'd be together in the 'clueless-in-class' situation. Make sure you're not alone. It's too difficult to study everything on your own, unless you're a super genius, but why in the world are you not a government-sponsored student then?
The shitty experience that I have experienced during my first year had made me lose confidence in my intellect, eventhough I was a student who got 9As and 1B for my SPM. Okay, I don't feel totally stupid but still, you wouldn't want to feel that way, trust me.
The core for all the problems that I'm facing with my studies now is my shitty foundation. I hope that someone can at least learn something from my mistake and not do what I did. Lastly, please forgive my overusage of the term 'shitty' and also the long and winding post.
Whatever good that you received from this came from Allah, and whatever bad came from me.
