I am a 25 year old single mom to a 4 year old just started over in school I have a new career goal. I have to have so many hours of exp before Vet school. So right now I am doing school, volunteer work and some shadowing work. I am tired !
 
I'm starting medical school in 5 days. I look at my 13 month old daughter, who wasn't even thought of when I set out on this path, and wonder where the time went, how I got here, and how I managed to survive. I swear each step felt painfully exhausting and never-ending. Somehow though, one foot in front of the other, and I'm about to start the next chapter.

I know it seems forever away now, but its a marathon. Celebrate the small milestones while keeping your eye on the big picture. Enjoy your time with your child. You'll get there, eventually.
