First post :)

I remember comparing high school life to a marine voyage in our yearbook—and graduation was reaching our destination on shore. And then college life I likened to a trek up the mountains. If it were so, then med school was definitely a tough height to scale. Well, it still is. But what I used to consider too far off doesn’t seem as far now. I thought graduation is still a long way ahead, until one day it sank in that two and a half years have already whizzed by. I’m actually halfway there! It’s exciting and scary at the same time. Each day is one step closer to my becoming a real physician; each patient encounter an opportunity to hone that so-called clinical eye. May each step, then, not be in vain… Oh Lord please help me to make the most out of these years of training and be the kind of doctor that you want me to be.
