What if it does Work Out?

This piece is dedicated to those struggling with self-doubt and uncertainty. Thinking about the future can oftentimes seem daunting and achieving your dreams may seem impossible, but it is important to remember that you are not alone and that things really do get better. Wherever you are on your journey to medicine, never let fear decide your future.

I envy the minds of children

That hold their dreams so dear

Greatness is pre-written in your story

Embrace mistakes and celebrate the glory, even if

The way to your goal becomes unclear

Submerging your hope under the surface of fear

But no one said this journey would be easy

Even if the path was walked before

There is no shame in failure

There is no shame in uprooting what was sown

Especially if it flourishes your mind and soul Remember that there is beauty in the unknown

Keep going

Even when it seems impossible

Even when a detour is needed

Pause when you need to

Give yourself grace

Own your experiences

Imagine if it does work out

Never let go of that childlike wonder

Greatness awaits you, and it is yours
