docjolly said:wow! carebear, when did you come back to SDN? i remember when you left a couple of months ago..
it's good to have you back
care bear said:hey ladies,
i tried to post yesterday but my computer lost the post.
anyhow thanks for the welcome back!
i've been around since mid-april but much less. . .trying to cut out time wasters. . .
anyway, the med school thing. . .i'll just say that med school is one tough place- mentally, emotionally. . .and if you have any doubts about whether you should be there or not, i feel like you basically have to figure those out before going on. . .you can't 'halfway' do med school. . have to be 100% committed.
as dumb as this sounds, i realized once i got to med school last semester, after all the ordeal of applications, interviews, MCATS. . .that i wasn't sure this was what i wanted to be doing.
so i looked for a good research job and when i found one i dropped my classes and left. probably not the best way to handle things, but i needed to rethink this career path.
now i am planning to go back in the fall. . .i've come to terms with the fact that while i may never love the process of med school, i think the MD is the best degree for me and so i'm just going to be a lot more focused on that goal, and not let myself get distracted by whether i am happy or not. . .
i mean i talk to people from my old class and one guy said that every day he wakes up and wonders if there is something else he could do with his life. and that's not b/c he doesn't want to be a doctor, it's just b/c the process is so tough. i didn't realize those kind of thoughts were common and i thought something was wrong with me (and i also probably had a much worse case of doubt than most people) - but anyway you get the point.
i hope everyone starting med school this fall has a good experience, i really think the right attitude is so crucial. . .and you all seem to have that!

Attitude is the 1st step towards achievin success. Zone in on your goal, keep it in focus, cause as long as it is in sight, it remains reachable @path and lotannaNPreMed said:Hi, I wanted to use this arena to start an open discussion on black females who want to become doctors. I am in California.

Anyone else?
