I can't believe there is only one more month before I start med school. The most frequent question I get from friends is, "Are you ready?"
While I tell them yes, the actual answer is a bit mixed.
First, I'm really excited to finally start my medical career. This has been almost 10 years in the making for me and I'm so grateful for this opportunity. On the other hand, I feel an amount of trepidation as well, stemming from voluminous information I am about to synthesize in these next 4 years. I do feel a sense of sadness that I will not have a lot of time thus forth to spend with my friends and family. But, this is path I chose for my career. Above all else though, I am determined to do the best I can so that I can be the best physician I can be for my patients.
