Good morning! God bless you... Do not fear..

I remember when I would talk to God and ask him to make a way for me to prove that I deserved to be a physician. Just make the way and I’ll walk it. I just wanted a seat at the table. Literally any MD med school in the US. It didn’t matter, I wanted a way in. Not only did I get that seat, I’m going to arguably one of the TOP 10 med schools in the country. I have moments where I literally don’t know how I got here, and then realize all over again how God is real and he will make a way, even if you don’t see it. I could never not believe in His power and grace. I’m the proof of it! 🙏🏾 Now, I don’t believe that there is anything I can’t accomplish. My dreams are abound.

The Bucket List

May 15, 2020

Almost every premed has their “Before Starting Medical School” bucket list. After putting in years of hard work and delaying gratification, we’ve now secured an acceptance and time is finally on our side. Once school starts, I can expect to spend most of my time studying for the next four years. Then comes residency, where I’ll be working 50-80 hours a week for 3+ years. Total freedom doesn’t come often and you’re only in your 20s once. Before committing to the intense grind of medical school and beyond, I carved out two months for myself to accomplish all that is on my list:

Travel. I love the idea of exploring the world, but I’ve only traveled to the Philippines. If I could go back in time and do something differently, I would’ve studied abroad. Although that moment has passed, now feels like the perfect time to travel internationally and I was looking to go to Iceland or Norway in particular.

Beaches. Hailing from the west coast, I’ve had the convenience of having beaches within driving distance. Soon I’ll be placed in the middle of the country with no coasts in sight, so I wanted to savor every moment that I had at the beach.

Taylor Swift concert. I became a fan of Taylor Swift when I was introduced to 1989, but I have never seen her in concert. Then I saw the Reputation tour on Netflix and I. Have. Been. Missing. Out. She can put on a performance and Taylor Swift’s music is everything, so I definitely needed to go to Lover Fest.

Coachella. Honestly this was just for the gram and to be able to say that I went. 

California theme parks. There are no Disneylands or Six Flags where I’m heading and it has been a hot minute since I’ve been to these places. Fortunately I was at least able to go to Disney California Adventure this year before they all shut down. 

Road trip with parents. They’re getting older and I won’t have this much free time to spend with them. We had plans to go to Arizona to visit Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon.

Catch up with old friends and say my goodbyes. 

Unfortunately the global pandemic created a sudden disruption in our lives and these plans came to a screeching halt. This isn’t the most devastating thing to happen and other people definitely have it far worse. But still, it’s a bummer I won’t be able to do most of these things before my days are spent in books and clinics. I may not be able to complete this list now, but I’m sure there will be other moments in the future to do each of these things. And now that we’re in lock down I have no excuse to put off reading the mountain of books I’ve collected. I can also veg out without the guilt of being a non-productive member of society.
