I wonder if it hurts when a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. I wonder if it knows it\u2019s not the end, it\u2019s just the beginning. If it cries thinking its body has betrayed it.<\/p>\n

Last night was hard for me. Everything bad that\u2019s happened in the last days is back. I kept asking myself some things. Doubt was there. Despair was there. Quitting was there\u2026<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t want to wake up. I just stayed in bed and cried. One of my VIPs wrote to me. I replied slowly. I have no stamina\u2026 I would rather do\u2026nothing. I wondered if medicine was really for me. I love cooking. I found some training programmes for bakers. At Rewe\u2019s. That would be nice. 350 euro at the beginning, then 700\u2026that would be something for me. Baker at Rewe\u2019s. Sounds good.<\/p>\n

8.14 am – an E-mail arrives. Should be Yummly or Tastemade. THE E-mail is supposed to come between 9-11 am. I read it but I didn\u2019t understand a single word. My German was gone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Sehr geehrte LittleDoc,<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That\u2019s got to be some kind of mistake. Or I don\u2019t get it. I wrote a message to Dr H. \u201cG what does this mean? I don\u2019t understand a single word. Please be online\u2026\u201d \u201cYOU PASSED. CONGRATS!!!\u201d I was perplexed. No. this cannot be. It\u2019s too early to call Herr Karbownik. I forwarded him the e-mail.<\/p>\n

My body is shaking. What\u2019s going on? I took a deep breath. Once more.\u00a0 Easy does it.<\/p>\n

My cocoon burst.<\/p>\n

I have wings. I cannot see them, but I can feel them. Catch me if you can now.<\/em><\/p>\n

I called my VIPs. “I am as of now a butterfly.”<\/p>\n

Herr Karbownik responded. “Frau Dr C you had me at a doubt last night. Congratulations.” Herr Karbownik doesn\u2019t know how relieved I am. I didn\u2019t let certa down. Praise the Lord.<\/p>\n

Now wandering through this beautiful city…<\/p>\n

Hafen, Elbphilarmonie… everything at a quick pace. Like the butterfly that I am…<\/p>\n
