It was a longgggg day, but an ohhh so needed day.
I was assigned a new clinic today and so far, I absolutely love it! I had a great time meeting the doc I would be working with for the semester.

I love the continuity clinics our school makes us go to. Some find it irrelevant or a waste of time, but I couldn't disagree more. It's when I go to these clinics that I swear my life rebalances. How? Because I learn that my problems are only trivial.

It's way to easy to get lost in our worlds and not see what goes on around us. It's easy to push out of your mind what it is that you don't have to deal with right now. What I'm saying is, it's easy to lose touch sometimes. Human connection. That's what matters in life. That's why I chose to become a physician. I want to be involved in life, in the human connection.

I find that interacting with people, even if they have no clue who I am, brings me so much joy; it's multiplied if in some way I can make there life better... I know, so cliché, but I'm absolutely serious.

Why? Why does helping people who can't give anything back to me such a rush in my eyes? Small scale humanitarianism? To feel good? Well, honestly, I really don't know, but I can tell you it's a pure feeling. A feeling that everything centers on; it's by this feeling that I know I am heading in the right direction in this life.

Some may find this to be a pretty stupid post, but hey, to each his own. I know that today was a good day, no matter the battles I faced in it. I know this because I am more blessed than I ever imagined to be especially coming from the background I did. I fought so hard to be in medical school and for that I am most thankful. If there's one thing I am most proud of it is that. Some see medical school admittance as a minor stepping stone, getting that acceptance was a long awaited dream come true for me. I know I'm where I belong.
