When a student leaves to study MBBS abroad, the air is filled with emotion. For both students and their parents, it’s a huge turning point. There’s excitement, pride, and dreams for the future—but let’s be honest, there’s also fear quietly mixed in with all the happiness.
For students, it’s the beginning of something completely new. They’re chasing their dream of becoming excellent doctors, but it’s more than just studying. It’s about stepping into a different world, living independently, understanding a new culture, and managing life on their own—things they’ve never done before. And that isn’t easy.
Parents? Their hearts are full of pride. They’ve worked hard and sacrificed so much to give their child this opportunity. But watching them take that final step past the airport gates is never simple. The distance hurts, and the worries begin—Will they eat properly? Will they stay healthy? Will they manage everything alone?
Airports become emotional battlegrounds. Long, tight hugs, last-minute advice, teary eyes, and promises to call every single day—even though everyone knows real life might make that harder sometimes.
This year, as students departed for Volgograd State Medical University, these emotions felt even stronger. Parents hoped, students dreamed, and both sides believed that this journey would shape the student into a confident, capable doctor. Suddenly, every late-night effort, every prayer, and every sacrifice felt worth it.
Saying goodbye will never be easy. But truly? It’s only the beginning of something extraordinary—for the student stepping into a new world and for the family cheering for them from home.
