Brazil SALESIAN PAST PUPILS ARE APPROVED IN MEDICINE The study of medicine remains the dream of many students. One of the most contested courses in the entrance exams that use the National High School Exam (Enem) as a selection criterion. Passing the entrance exam is usually the concern of those who want to enter the area. To enter the university, students must prepare a different curriculum, dedicate themselves and stay focused. This was the case of our past pupils of the Salesian School of Salvador: Milton José Souza Neto (18) and Julie Matos Boeloni (18). With the desire to help people take care of their health, Milton chose the Faculty of Medicine. Salesian student from the third year of secondary school, he was approved at the BAHIANA - School of Medicine and Public Health and tells how the school contributed to his success: «The Salesian provided me with good teachers, helped me improve my writing performance and he also helped me prepare psychologically for the college entrance examination. We have participated in lectures, seminars, simulations... These actions have helped to gain confidence». Julie, a second-grade Salesian student, approved at the Feira de Santana State University (UEFS), also highlights preparatory lessons, simulations, monitoring and rich
teacher advice, whose lessons were always well founded. «All these actions were very important during my preparation for the entrance exam. I studied a lot every day, I did simulations, module exercises and I also attended a revision course». When asked about the reason for choosing the course, Julie comments: «It is an area in which I identify a lot».
Milton claims to be very happy and hopes to learn a lot to help people who need it so much. Julie also feels very happy and satisfied.
«For students who want to study medicine, planning and discipline in study are obviously necessary, but we have to believe that effort and hope give results», comments Milton. Another tip is to talk to a teacher or a coordinator. They usually work a lot together, as well as giving valuable advice. And finally, our past pupils leave a message for future university entrance exams, «you need concentration, dedication and never give up». Por: Elisane Alves
