This last year was quite literally the hardest year of my life. Opening that email a year ago and feeling my heart sink into the pit of my stomach was the worst feeling ever, compounded by the demoralizing process of having to go immediately compose myself enough to go through the SOAP. And, it was made even worse by the fact that, though I love my TY program and the growth I have had this year, I ultimately did not get an EM position in the SOAP, which was what I really wanted.
But despite wanting to give up, I kept my nose to the grindstone and I persevered, working relentlessly to overcome the failure of my 2025 Match. Hard work pays off. Pardon the French, but I fucking did it yโall. I am quite literally shaking and crying in clinic. It was all worth it. Every single moment of effort was worth it. I am good enough, and I deserve to be an emergency medicine physician, which is the farthest thing imaginable from how I felt this time last year. ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ

โLet them go a month without meals. Maybe theyโll get a jobโ
First, many SNAP recipients have jobs. Theyโre just living below the poverty line because of tremendous wealth inequality.
Second, many are disabled and children and canโt work.
Third, no one should starve to death.
