I swear this isn't as dramatic as it may seem, but I just feel like 💩 sometimes. The start of undergrad was definitely difficult, I wasn't very sure of my path, etc. When I learned how much I LOVE medicine, I have been giving everything 10000% effort and have been extremely happy with how things have turned out for me in terms of my grades, extracurriculars, etc. and I take pride in essentially being a try-hard now but in a non-annoying way. I feel like a completely different person in the best way ever. I am very grateful for my DO acceptance and the MD interviews I have had, but sometimes I look back and I am like gosh, what if I was like this from the start? Would that be me getting the Harvard acceptance a few days ago? Idk

Anyway, I am using this strange feeling to motivate me. I want to be the best family medicine doctor the world has ever seen.
