There were so many times during these past 9 years that I doubted myself and my ability to get into medical school. I invested so much of myself, my family’s financial means, and their effort into making this possible. I was scared I would end up a failure not because of my own guilt, but because I would have wasted their hard earned money and time to help me pursue this dream.
To my SO who left me because I couldn't get in... thank you. I needed that. I needed you to leave so I could fuel myself so I could focus on myself and become a better person. A better future physician. A better applicant.
To myself who had suicidal thoughts because I couldn’t get in, I would say all the suffering and sacrifices have paid off. There were decisions down the road that should have been done differently, but learning from the experience was necessary. Grandma, I'm sorry I missed your funeral to study for the MCAT, it was stupid of me. I regret that decision so much. I will be there for family in the future and I promise to work hard in this career for myself, the family, and patients.
Now, I know the road ahead will only be more challenging and demanding. I will not let up. I will push harder than ever before and continue to be the best person I can be so that I can help those kids I met who need a physician advocate. So that I can see patients and be able to provide relief, closure, and care that resembles the model healthcare providers I have dreamt of and met in real life.
Lastly, for those who have been supportive of me, thank you. I never really appreciated your kind words, belief in me because I didn’t believe in myself, and everything you have done for me. I will try and be a better friend to you. I’ll keep in touch and update you more.
August 2018 cannot come any faster. Lets do this! Congrats class of of 2022!
