Happy Friday, readers. I just had exams today, ending the first block of my second year. Second year is not so bad; there's still a ton of information but at least at this point you have a foundation and can keep building on everything. Gone are the days of anatomy lab, replaced with digital slides for a lot of histology and pathology, and I guess I'm a little nostalgic of what it was like to just study a lot and not feel that pressured.
The pressure is starting up with the Step 1, rotations coming up, and just things mattering more. But I've also been playing more guitar, consistently searching for new music, and deepening friendships with classmates.
I've also been changing a lot into a more positive person. In part due to some people I've met but also: if you can't be positive, focus on the good things in life and build up those around you, how will you become a good leader?
Medicine is full of leaders, and not just the doctors, but everyone leads in their own way and has responsibility. I think the best leaders have charisma, positivity and help people become better in their roles instead of criticizing them and judging them.
There's so much greatness we miss out on if we're not treating everyone with kindness, if we're not inspiring them or helping out. Some of the most positive people are the ones who have gone through the most loss, so if that doesn't stop them, why can't we keep finding the best in everything everyday?
That last bit might have been a little incoherent but I've been up for probably 19 hours everyday for the past few weeks, it'll do it to you! haha.
