I am Ariyo Toyin Victoria, and today, I present my entry for @mariannewest’s daily contest titled "Attack of the Wobbles."
What does this mean? "Attack of the Wobbles" refers to moments of doubt, fear, and emotional instability, when everything feels overwhelming, and you begin to question your journey. It’s that sinking feeling of uncertainty, but also an opportunity to push through and grow.
This phrase reminds me of how I prayed and fasted to gain admission into medical school. It wasn’t easy at all—it was a journey filled with sacrifices, determination, and resilience. It started with fulfilling the unthinkable, challenging the odds, and keeping faith alive despite setbacks.
I passed my entrance exam, but I soon realized that getting in was just the beginning. Medical school itself is another test of passion, consistency, and perseverance. There are more hurdles ahead, but each challenge reminds me that success is not just about intelligence; it’s about discipline, faith, and the courage to keep moving forward even when doubt creeps in.
So, to anyone experiencing their own “attack of the wobbles,” remember—your struggles today are shaping the strong, resilient person you are becoming. Keep pushing, keep believing, and never lose sight of your dreams!
