Lost focus? Try again.
Wrong decision? Try again.
Made mistakes? Try again.

My mom was the best. When I was considering med school and whined, “I’ll be almost 35 when I’m done.” She said, “And? You’ll be 35 anyway.” She rooted me on through pre-reqs, 3 MCATs, and edited countless essays. I wish she were here to see the fruits of her love & devotion 💜
