[Cowboy DO]

Your Point?

 

[Chrisobean]

i just love the website you got this from (can i still call u slick?)

 

[Adapt]

Your Point?

To inspire those premeds who may go to community colleges. You can still accomplish what you want to do as a physician with hard work.

Chris, either name is ok, but I'd prefer Adapt to avoid confusion.

 

[Robz]

I still prefer slickness

Well either way then. I just changed it because as a future physician, I figured it sounded a bit immature. I'm still slick though.

The funny thing is a couple people have said the same thing about me in real life. I wear both glasses and contacts. It appears it has followed me even on the internet.
