I realized that I had to live with God every day and be guided by Him
When I was in the 12th grade of high school, I had a lot of conflict going on inside of me. I had a very busy schedule then, and I was always preparing for exams. During that time, however, my parents required me to attend church, which I found stressful. The situation was very difficult for me at the time, but soon I felt very peaceful about it.
It was like God said, "Soon you will understand what is important. I will teach you, so just do what you have to do for now."
I talked to my parents about it, and they understood me and the problem was solved.
My journey as a doctor began in the 11th grade. Although it was according to my parents’ advice that I chose the medical profession, I knew it was the right decision, so I did my best. After graduating from high school in 2015, I entered the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences.
My first year at university passed quickly. Shortly after I returned home from a trip to Japan during the summer of 2016, I attended a training conference in Malaysia where I met other people who walked with God. I learned from them, and we had a great time. What I felt there and the insight I received were indescribable. When I returned home, I felt like a whole new person, and I felt so much more confident.
Maybe at this point I really understood what was most important in life, and I was ready to prepare for it.
In my third year of school, I became more involved in social interactions, joined clubs, and became involved in community service. During this time, I realized that life was not as beautiful and easy as I thought it would be. Life is multifaceted, and I learned that while there are people to help and support, there are also people who are jealous and slanderous. This helped me understand why I had to learn to be smarter and more sensitive.
I became convinced that everything I had experienced so far was God's work, not just my own.
Ever since I was a child, I was shy and never imagined that I would be able to speak in public. But one day a speech contest was announced among medical students, and I decided to register. To my surprise, I gave a very successful speech and even took third place. It really encouraged me, and in one year I participated in four speech competitions, organized lectures, and became a presenter.
In my fourth year, I had the opportunity to develop myself and take up swimming and tennis. It helped me pay less attention to others and to what was happening around me, and make time for myself instead.
My next major step was to register for the FGC conference in London in the summer of 2019. My friends and I went to Beijing to apply for a visa. I thought that my only option was to meet God in London, and I longed so much for it. However, we did not get the visa and returned home to Ulaanbaatar. During our stay in Beijing, God was with us and I was satisfied. During that trip, I learned a lot about financial discipline and accuracy.
I realized that it is far from enough to be with God only once in a training session, but I had to live with God every day and be guided by Him. When we returned, we organized a children's camp and only then did we understand one of the reasons why we should do such a thing: we must set an example for future generations, our younger brothers and sisters, walk before them and help them.
As I reached my fifth year, I decided to initiate a project which I called the “New Me” project.
This project is for teens and young adults to help them adopt a healthy lifestyle and find purpose in life. In other words, to educate a new generation. I might not have enough knowledge and experience to start it now, and it might not be the right time. It's not fully ready, but I'm sure it will be perfect when the time comes.
When I look back, not everything was perfect during my medical studies. There were times of discouragement and even abandonment, but thanks to my family, my friends, people from church and my pastors, I was able to get through it. It's not something I have done alone; a lot of people have invested their time and their lives. Through them, God spoke very important things.
Then came the coronavirus, which spread around the world and a quarantine was imposed. My lifestyle changed and I studied at home. I didn't want to focus on what was going on in the world and just wait for life to get back to normal. I did things I hadn't done before that I had always wanted to do. One of them was creating my own skincare brand. It hasn’t gone public yet, but the recipe and the design are ready.
I thought that it would be nice to finish after the sixth — and last — year of medical school, and finish soon. However, for those who are becoming doctors, this is just the beginning, and for me, nothing was clear. It was like I was lost in a storm. God directed me and that situation did not last long.
I didn't just sit in quarantine. I kept learning and attended an online leadership program from Yonsei University in Korea.
At the same time, I started a podcast to help medical students who don’t know what specialization they will follow after graduating from medical school, and the plan is to expand it in the future. It hasn’t happened just because of my hard work and my efforts, but it has been a result of teamwork. The team worked together to make it happen.
I am very grateful to God.
I am glad God taught me things I never imagined and gave me the strength to do them.
May God always teach me and guide me.
