Yesterday, I had a chat with the MBChB qualifying graduates. We talked about their future and that despite what’s going on they should still dream big, look at what they’ll get out of internship and hate mediocrity. GoU, start them off well on a career they’ll enjoy.

My first entrance to Makerere was filled with self doubt until I met Prof Robert Kalyesubula @rkalyes1. The first interaction revealed that hard work, a teachable posture, resilience would earn me a spot somewhere.
Today, I am among the top ten graduates in college!
