    My take from this;
    1) No excuse to fail. Persistence always pay off. That's needed to become an outlier
    2) Mentors are important.
    3) We need to develop a burning desire to learn.
    4) There is no unattainable dream. Dare to dream big.

    Congratulations my sister! My 15 yo son also dreamt of becoming a neurosurgeon when he was still in primary school after being inspired by Ben Carson’s story in his “Gifted Hands” book. You should meet him one day too, he walked that path many years ago. Komera cyane turakwishimiye!

      Claire you are a great lady. I have read about you and hope to meet you. I am a Rwandese nephrologist also also a first nephrologist practicing in Rwanda. We still need many people like you who take personal initiative to make a difference in our country in many fields of medicine. Rwandans will one day be proud to have people like you. One day we shall have people in our health system who value skills.

      Thank you so much ma'am. God bless you. We need more trained specialist in Africa, and that is extremely clear. I am a South African medical student and I feel insecure when I think about European or American qualifications, but you gave me all the reason to believe that I can be the same and still come back home.

    A dream pusher indeed. Nigeria has been training neurosurgeons for almost over 20 years, and the training is led by first class neurosurgeons. The lady could possibly have secured a space for residency rather than waiting for many years pushing. She is definitely a great ambassador of Ruwanda.
