Med Motivation – #2

As the saying goes, if this journey was easy, anyone would do it. That is precisely why you are unique. You are the chosen one to have that innate drive to keep pushing to get where you need to be. Sure, the road is long, but life is long. A long journey should never be your excuse for not pursuing a career of your choice. Now imagine getting up on that stage to receive your first white coat. Keep envisioning and keep dreaming.

And remember! It is okay to fail. As I mentioned in my previous post, failing a class did not stop me! It just helped me reevaluate my weaknesses. I referenced someone for help and realized that I was studying wrong the whole time during my first semester of college.

Keep pushing! You got this! #girlstrong

Circa 2019, as a 4th-year medical student doing my clinicals in dermatology. I did not match into dermatology, but that is a topic for later discussion. The journey never ends, and you will still fail throughout. But you must always maintain that grit that got you into medicine in the first place. I felt sad and alone here. But I never quit or once doubted my decision to become a doctor.
