Show Jasmin S. Jens en, I can't believe the day I can finally say t~at I am a doctor is here. I keep waiting for someone to wave a magic wand or say a some sort of secret phrase that will transform me into a doctor, because truth be told, I still feel like the same old introspective, bookish, slightly anxious student that entered med school four years ago. And yet I survived and in some ways prospered; it was an experience that I will never forget and am truly grateful for, and something that I would never choose to repeat. I do want to thank the many teachers, fell ow students, attendings, residents, and patients who showed me that I have what it takes to follow this path wherever it leads. I have been so blessed these last four years to be surrounded by the most skilled, talented, and compassionate people that I have ever met, I owe so much of what I am now and what I might become to them. ) I also want to thank my family for there constant support, my parents have made so many sacrifices to help rile follow my dreams. My sisters are my constant beacons of light, we have always been so different from one another and yet we are drawn together by everything that matters. And finally my grandparents who are so proud to have a doctor in the family, I can't imagine where I would be today if I had not had there influence guiding me. As I reflect on all of the people in my life, the lyrics of one of my favorite songs seem appropriate; this is from Bob Dylan's Shooting Star ... Seen a shooting star tonight And I thought of you. You were trying to break into another world A world I never knew. I always kind of wondered If you ever made it through. Seen a shooting star tonight And I thought of you. Seen a shooting star tonight And I thought of me. If I was still the same If I ever became what you wanted me to be Did I miss the mark or Over-step the line That only you could see? Seen a shooting star tonight And I thought of me. 60 Little Sisters Nichole and Megan My Best Study Partner |
