The Last SOOCA

Today was the eight aka my last SOOCA in the bachelor program (yeay)!

Agaaaaaain, God did another miraculous wondrous thing more than I can imagine :''')

***

It began with this past five weeks of tutorial class. My tutor was a dermatologist and he was super smart, super kind, and it was an enjoyable five weeks of tutorial class and I got so many knowledge from this tutor. It was the last tutorial group in bachelor program and it surely was a great ending for my life before co-assistant program.

You know what, actually this semester was a very hectic semester. I needed to finish my minor thesis, doing the data record, data analysis, making a journal, etc. Beside those minor thesis things, I still need to study about family medicine and tropical medicine. I think God has a special plan for me, He put me in this specific tutorial group with the specific tutor to make me study hard. I actually really studied hard in this last system (tropical medicine). One of the reason was because I enjoyed the tutorial class and I thought I must study so I can participate more at the class.

The third from the last tutorial case was leprosy. I got an important learning issue to be presented in the class about the clinical findings of leprosy. So I studied about it. When I first presented it, there were so many corrections from my tutor. So I dig more about the case. I even covered my friend learning issue, which was the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of the disease, and presented it to the tutor. My tutor again corrected it and added important information related to the case. I was so happy and I gain more knowledge about this disease from the master (dermatologist)!

Leprosy was not an easy case. So when I understand this case, many of my friends asked me about this case. Well, one of the reason was because my tutor was a dermatologist so maybe my information was trustworthy, hehe. Because of this, I started to pray that this SOOCA I want to get leprosy. Even more, I prayed that the examiner is my tutor.

Sunday before the exams, two days before the exams to be exact, I went to church. The preaching was from Phillipians 4:6.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

So I presented my request to God. I didn’t worry at all because I have faith in Him and He has never failed me. NEVER. I believe that day that I will get as what I wished. But of course I prayed that let His will be done and not mine.

So the SOOCA day, I was as sure as ever that I will get the case I wanted. Soooooo, yeap I got the LEPROSY case!!! Out of fourteen cases available, I got the one I wanted!!! I laugh and I was amazed about HOW WONDERFUL THIS GOD OF MINE. His name is JESUS CHRIST!

After making the flipchart, I went to the presentation room, I got my miracle number two: the examiner was my tutor!!! EXACTLY LIKE WHAT I PRAYED. Even my tutor said “Wah hoki yaa..” which means that I was lucky. Hahaha. I said to him that I was praying to get this case, hehe.

The examiners didn’t tell me the grade. But I praise God for this miracle today. For the wondrous things He has done today, in every SOOCA I passed. It is not because of my strength, but it is because of His grace. I don’t say I have a big faith, it is really small, but maybe it is enough to bring miracle. Jesus, you are so wonderful and I’m really happy that I can call you my Father. God this is surely a miracle…

SOOCA was the first exams in this final exams of seventh semester. There still will be MDE, BHP, PHOP, OSCE, and minor thesis examinations. Please pray for me, friends :)

I hope that you all can experience God in everything you do, with His special way for you! Just remember, He can do wondrous things! Just have faith and believe him!

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
