I'm such an insignificant creature!!
Wow, today I have at least open up my eyes a little bit!! Woken up at 8 plus today and received a message from Ms Roopa, a faculty staff in the Optometry department, which supposed to remind me about the schedule I had made for the project. Manx, it was only 2 hours before the scheduled time!! So much of a reminder!! Yeah, I ended up late..
Anyway, I have learnt a lot from Ms Roopa today!! She had actually opened up my eyes to the world!! My mind was so constraint that I just wanna complete my 3 years diploma in Optometry and continued with a degree in other fields, which is Psychology. I didn't see the point of continue pursuing my studies in Optometry when the legislation for an Optometrist is actually just diploma!! But, today, I had CHANGED my mind!! Seriously, I didn't know that I was so ignorant and insignificant to the world out there!! Even my own course!! "Optometry" this word is such a foreigner to me!! I used to think I knew a lot about it!! But
I don't!! I have learnt that actually, an optometrist in the States has a privilege to earn the name as a Doctor but not in the UK!! Besides, Optometrist is not much of inferior than an Ophthalmologist!! Though the latter might not sound any much of difference, actually they are both trained in two different professionalisms!! Oh GOSH, to my greatest surprise, an Optometrist is legally allowed to perform LASIK surgery in certain states of USA with a doctorate degree!! That's my goal from now on manx!! That is the thing that would make me go on with Optometry!!
Furthermore, there are still so many things that I gotta find out!! I will make sure I mak emyself very clear!! I hope Ms Roopa would guide me along!! But, not for long.. She'll be leaving S'pore to Australia for her PhD in Optometry a few months later!! I hope that I could keep in touch with her.. Till then, Fighto~~OH!!>_<
