“My goal is to return to communities that are congruent with those who helped mold and impact my childhood.”
Or something like that. 🌚

- Resident physicians should be paid more. Don’t say anything about“earning potential.” If I die tomorrow my “earning potential” is $0.00. We’re not all from affluent backgrounds. Loud as I’m telling it, I’m still paying off my MCAT prep course 😐.
- Guys, I’m not over it. I’m about to learn how to be a surgeon in one of the prettiest regions in the country at an incredibly well-rounded program. I’m about to ask someone to buy me an Oregon scrub cap. Lol
- Life hack: don’t stretch a bad moment and convince yourself you’re having a bad day.
- Is it 5:07 in the morning? Yes. Do I graduate medical school today and fulfill my childhood dream? Also Y E S!!
- I do my very best not to say politically rousing statements on here because I recognize how impactful it could be on my life and future. I will make a few points, however. As a professional student, it is easy for my peers/colleagues to think of me as the kind of 1/x
- I love words. My mom made me read the dictionary as a child.
- My chief asked me how I felt I did my first full -ish week. I started discussing points where I could improve. He said, “No, anyone can give themselves negative feedback. Tell me what you did well.” 🥺🥺🥺
- Remember, no matter how disturbing, disappointing, terrifying, concerning or unbelievable, events may be, Black history is American history.
- It sounds like it’s about to be in everyone’s personal statement 😭😭😭😭
- Someone has tricked you all into believing it’s ok to treat these medical students poorly. Why’d a baby go back & forth about whether or not they mattered today? You matter, ok? Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Teaching med studs, who want to learn, is my actual favorite.
- Tomorrow is Juneteenth and Father’s Day. Those leather sandals are going to be seen far and wide. Let’s remember: We’re not in a post-racial society, sundown towns still exist, there’s a public school to prison pipeline, other intra-racial crimes don’t have a moniker,
- Replying to @KeiMDreason why *she* shouldn’t have been killed inappropriately excuses the use of police brutality that has ended the lives of so many others. She deserved to live because she was loved. She deserved to live because she gave love. She deserved to live because she was born of 4/x
