El día que cambió todo [ESP-ENG]
Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes uno de los días más importantes de mi vida: el día de mi examen estatal para convertirme en Doctor en Medicina, el sueño que durante tantos años compartí con mi mamá y con toda mi familia.
Todo comenzó muy temprano. Los nervios eran inevitables. Me correspondió presentar el examen en el servicio de Pediatría del Hospital Octavio de la Concepción y de la Pedraja, en Holguín. Llevaba la cabeza llena de todo lo que había estudiado durante años y solo pensaba en dar lo mejor de mí.
La espera se hizo eterna. El tribunal se retrasó porque se encontraba en una reunión del hospital, y las horas parecían no avanzar. Mientras tanto, mis familiares esperaban con ansiedad, pues ya tenían preparada la celebración y aún no sabían cuándo terminaría.
Finalmente llegó el momento. Comenzó el examen teórico-práctico y me correspondió enfrentar un caso de un paciente pediátrico con un cuadro febril. Después vino la evaluación ante el tribunal, mientras, al otro lado de la puerta, me esperaban mis familiares y amigos con la misma mezcla de nervios e ilusión que yo sentía.
Gracias a Dios, todo salió bien. Aprobé.
En ese instante entendí que ya no era solo un estudiante. Había dado el paso más importante de mi formación: me había convertido en Doctor en Medicina.
Fue un momento profundamente emotivo. Contuve las lágrimas mientras abrazaba a quienes me acompañaron en este camino, porque ese logro no era solo mío; era el resultado del sacrificio, el apoyo y el amor de mi familia, de mis profesores y de todas las personas que creyeron en mí.
Hoy comparto estas fotografías para recordar aquel día que marcó un antes y un después en mi vida. Un día que siempre llevaré en el corazón y que me recuerda que, con esfuerzo, disciplina y fe, los sueños sí pueden hacerse realidad.
👨⚕️🤍 Aquí comenzó mi historia como médico. Y apenas era el inicio del camino.

The Day That Changed Everything
Today, I want to share one of the most important days of my life: the day I took my State Medical Examination and officially became a Doctor of Medicine—a dream that my mother and my entire family shared with me for many years.
Everything started early that morning. I was incredibly nervous. I was assigned to take my exam in the Pediatrics Department at Octavio de la Concepción y de la Pedraja Hospital in Holguín, Cuba. My mind was overflowing with everything I had studied over the years, and all I wanted was to give my very best.
The wait felt endless. The examination committee was delayed because they were attending a hospital meeting, and the hours seemed to stand still. Meanwhile, my family anxiously waited outside. They already had everything prepared to celebrate, but they had no idea when my exam would finally begin.
At last, the moment arrived. The theoretical and practical examination started, and I was assigned a pediatric patient presenting with a febrile illness. Afterward came the oral discussion before the examination committee, while my family and friends waited outside the room, just as nervous and hopeful as I was.
By the grace of God, everything went well.I passed.
At that very moment, I realized I was no longer just a medical student. I had taken the most important step of my professional journey—I had become a Doctor of Medicine.
It was an unforgettable and deeply emotional moment. I held back my tears as I embraced the people who had stood by my side throughout this journey, because that achievement was not mine alone. It was the result of years of sacrifice, unwavering support, and the love of my family, my professors, and everyone who believed in me.
Today, I share these photos to remember the day that changed my life forever—a day that will always remain in my heart and remind me that with hard work, discipline, perseverance, and faith, dreams really do come true.
👨⚕️🤍 This was the beginning of my journey as a physician. And it was only the beginning.
