My first medical experience was...

At first I didn't want to go, I was a afraid of failing. But then I realized I will have many bigger challenges throughout my seven years in medical school. So I went to the hospital, and I learned some things, but I just couldn't really do it. It's hard! LOL

I was a little upset and embarrassed because most could do what I never could. I didn't get to the point of thinking of dropping out, but I was wondering if maybe medicine wasn't my thing.

After thinking and worrying, I decided to get over it and do something about it, instead of thinking about it on and on. So I analyzed the problem, and found the solution, which isn't that complicated.

I'll buy my own instruments so I can practice at home with my family. They will be my victims for now, and I know they'll probably suffer. I got to be the victim (for my classmates) twice and it hurt for an hour, well maybe I'm just a drama queen. LOL. But after practicing for a while I should be quite good.

So, what I'm trying to say in this post is, challenges have started, and even though this was a little one, I liked the way I did things. And I hope I can do the same with all problems. I just don't want to fall in self pity.

I really want to make it.

• I'm staying.

It sucks a little, but it's for the best. It's a good decision.
