Rising from the Dead

I have not been on this site in so long! Though I have but one faithful follower, I will write anyway. From this day on, I would try my best to write my journey.  I've done a lot of things and thinking during my absence from this site.  All that I have done will now be marked, not day by day but some updates, for I will become a doctor.  I may regret these words later on when I look back on these posts and find that I have not accomplished my dream, but the race is now officially on.  Many people may ask me, why a doctor?  Why not a nurse or some other profession?  Even though I can't particularly convey WHY I want to be a doctor in the most elegant terms, my only answer as of now is: to help people.  My whole life, I have literally been surrounded by loved ones passing away from one illness or other.  I myself, was confined to the hospital early on in age and, through many volunteer experiences and shadowing, have now solidified my dreams to being a doctor.  On this Saturday, November 10th, 2012, I will do everything in my power to do well on my MCATs and my gpa.  I took my first practice MCAT and got a 18. An EIGHTEEN. The highest being a 45.  The national average is a 29.  As you can see, I have a long way to go.  The test is on May 30th 2013.  By that time, I will and I mean WILL be a proper competitor for medical school.  This post is just to encourage myself and others out there whose dream it is to being a doctor.  We can do this.  We CAN and WILL accomplish our dream by the grace of God.  See you all in a bit!
