Stress on a Different Level

I have always wanted to have a career in the medical field. As long as I can remember, It has been on the top three list of career choices. I was excited to help others. Most importantly I wanted to help those who do not have the opportunity to get medical help as easily as others.

I never once thought of the stress that comes with the curriculum. I always knew it would have been hard. Saying something and then actually experiencing it is two totally different things.

It takes tremendous patience. A lot of hard work. Constant prayers. You don’t have any life except that of going to school for lectures, coming home, eat, study again and sleep. Then the cycle starts all over again.

With all that studying, you don’t even bring home grades of A or Bs. It is frustrating to put so much effort into something and not get the reward. Tears is an everyday norm. And lets not forget sky high emotions that come out and let loose.

I am trying to stay in control. National Boards is coming in less than 2 weeks. I know if I let the stress and anxiety get to me I will do terrible. I pray and hope that Lord Ganesh is with me and takes me through this with a calm spirit.
