Sink or Swim
The two words today that stand out to me the most were sink or swim voiced by one of our lovely professors. :) "In this program you either sink or swim. . . and today your head was barely out of the water (with my gracey comp)" were the piercing words that punched me in the gut. But I felt it coming. I know I need a lot more practice with instrumentation. I'm not close to perfect. It's hard saying that when coming to dh school I thought without a shadow of a doubt that I was going to ROCK in the clinic. But here I am needing a lot of help. This has been such a roller coaster for me. I want this more than anything. I do not want to fail. The only thing I could think of today was imagining myself packing up my locker. . .which is a lot of stuff. I would probably have to make two or three trips to remove everything I have in there! I don't want my head to be barely out of the water in this program. I want to be walking on the water! BOOM! I think we should all strive to do this. Make the impossible possible. We all have the potential to go beyond succeeding. Now. . . I am off to study immunity. Good luck everyone on the exam tomorrow. :)

You hit the nail on the head with this one. I feel the exact same way. Sure, I may be doing well on tests, but instrumentation is harder than I ever thought it would be. I even have a background in sculpture. I thought for sure that having that much experience working with my hands would make me a shoe-in for this kind of thing and that it would be no problem. I was totally wrong. I just want to be able to instrument with as much ease as the rest of our peers but like you said, I think we need a lot more practice. Good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteI have the same feeling as EC. The other night I had a dream that I was at graduation watching all my friends graduate while I was sitting amoungst their family and friends instead of being up on stage. I have endured alot in the past few years to be one of the lucky few that get to be in this program. I think we all need to realize that we have done alot to get here and they selected US out of hundreds of others to be in this program. So.... work hard because you deserve to be here!
ReplyDeleteWe all have different struggles in life that we over come in differnt ways. If you need any help at all please let me know. I may know something you don't and vice versa. We are all in this together and we need to stick together.
