I know this is long overdue but... I PASSED MY THESIS DEFENSE!!
Sorry for the late update, everything has been a whirlwind of emotions since then. On top of that, the world is currently suffering through a terrible pandemic which is something I never thought I'd experience in my lifetime, yet here we are. But I will leave my comments on that for another post. In the meantime, stay safe and remember to thoroughly wash your hands!
So I passed my defense, great. What's next?
A few weeks ago I made the decision to leave my university to be with my husband. During our time social distancing, I have made some revisions to my thesis as requested by my mentor and also have been spending HOURS studying for the MCAT (yes, again). This time around it feels like I have a clearer focus as to what I need to do and how I must prepare myself. With that said, I am hoping to apply to MD and MD/PhD programs if my MCAT score is good enough. Although these past few years doing research have been a challenge, it has also been an eye-opening experience for me. Working in the lab made me put what I was studying in classes into perspective. I also felt that expanding my knowledge and skillset in this field can only benefit me and my future patients.
I'm excited and nervous to see what's around the corner. I've been on this journey for way too long and I feel like now is the perfect time for me to shine. So if you're still trying to achieve some goals and make dreams come true, do not give up. There will be a moment where everything falls into place at the right time,
