Sorry, probably just me rambling haha!

Man, it has been such a surreal journey, especially now that my cycle is coming to an end! Among so many applicants who are far more talented and smarter than I am, I feel incredibly grateful to have been able to share this journey with all of you! Honestly, I was actually planning to withdraw my application back in late June! I am so proud of each and every one of us, and I still remember telling myself that if I could just get one interview, I would be over the moon back in early July when the secondaries first started coming in! Thank you all for tolerating me and for being there through my highs, and most importantly for witnessing my lows and my crash-outs! I still cannot believe that an MSTP program would actually offer me an acceptance, it is truly beyond my wildest dreams! I am also so grateful for my mom, who has been by my side through all of this and supported me every step of the way! Today I saw this painting and it really hit me, I cannot believe I am actually leaving my dear sunshine state, Florida! But I know the journey ahead will be exciting! I will always miss Florida and all the programs here that offered me acceptance and believed in me, because I know I am not the smartest person in the room, yet they still chose to believe in me and gave me a chance and this incredible opportunity!

Good luck everyone! I know we will become amazing doctors in whichever program we enroll in! :))
