A disabled girl in the Central Anatolian province of Tokat will become a doctor by studying in the faculty where she has been receiving treatment since her childhood, private broadcaster CNNTürk has reported.

20-year-old Sare Aydın passed the university entrance exam and has become a medical student in the Gaziosmanpaşa University Medical Faculty. She said the doctors who treated her for years inspired her.

"I was a patient who was treated here, the doctors were very kind and helpful to me. I saw the happiness on their faces for helping people and doing something good. This made me want to become a doctor like them," she said.

Aydın wants to become a pediatric doctor and recommends that other disabled people dream and never lose hope.

"This was my dream. It was a tough process and I sometimes I thought I was not going to succeed but I worked hard and I did it," she said.
