There are going to be setbacks. There will be stumbles. Sometimes you will trip, sometimes you will just faceplant in the gravel - we all do it. But what I hope you learned is that those stumbles typically occur when we're slightly off kilter because we are reaching for something great that's just beyond our grasp. And what you do is you just stand up and brush yourself off and keep going. Because when you get it, whatever it is [...] you celebrate it, but you cherish the journey along the way.

I was sitting there mentally preparing to SOAP and at 10:55am I got the email: 

I MATCHED!!!!!

Apparently the NRMP sends out the emails in waves so if you’re still waiting just be cool and/or log in to the website to check.

It happened. I'm going to be a pediatrician! Sending hope and warm vibes to those SOAPing. Life cannot be contained in the expected and it's often the unexpected that makes it so great in the end. 🙏🏾💪🏽

03.18.2017. One day post-match. Excited to cap off 4 years of graduate school soon. Decided to have a little #treatyoself moment, and picked this GMT pepsi from 1996. Interesting to learn about the history from the previous owner, and my first foray into vintage watches. Paired with a peanut suede strap from worn&wound. . . . . . . . . #vintagewatches #rolex #gmtmaster #rolexgmt #16700 #gmtpepsi #wornandwound #rolexwatches #vintagerolex #livefolk #myoutfit #folkcreative #buyfolk #ootdwatch #gatheredstyle #fwis #lookoftheday #fwisfeed #grid #flatlay #outfitgrid #match2017

Perfection, Community, Gratitude: What Residency Has Taught Me So Far

March 18, 2016. I had been anticipating this day for months and I could not believe that it had finally arrived. I woke up that morning, sat on my couch, and began to journal as I do pretty much every day.

"That morning, I decided to write a letter to my future self. I planned to read it on the toughest of days, as a way to remember the anticipation I felt on Match Day."

OB/GYN resident physician D. Kesley Robertson, MD at Emory University School of Medicine reflects on his first year of residency and advice for incoming interns, as part of the in-House "s/p The Match -- One Year Later" theme issue dedicated to #Match2017.
