Taking the Opportunity

Well hey there! It’s been a minute. Quite the minute if I must say. A lot has changed since my last post. But in saying that, I’m happy to say that most of the changes have been for the best up until recently with this challenging time we all face during this pandemic. I’m grateful to say my family, close friends and I remain safe and are beyond blessed for that. 

With us being on lockdown this past month, I have taken this time to reflect on how life has treated me this last year. The ups and downs and the many self realizations I have had recently have really made me miss writing and my little bubble of a blog here on the internet. With lots of encouragement from my mentors, friends, and family, I know it’s the right time to get back at it. 

I’ve decided to take this time that I have away from the many hours of clinicals being that we’re on lockdown and dive back into doing something I missed. Talking with you guys. 

If being on lockdown and being isolated with my own thoughts has taught me anything, it has taught me to go with my gut, and give my dreams a shot. All of my dreams! Learning from my mistakes, my fears, my anxiety, and even managing my depression, I have learned in order to achieve my dreams and have an enjoyable life I have to go for it. 

Sharing my testimony on life has always been my biggest fear. The fear of failing always being in the back of my mind. Now conquering that fear and actually failing, I have learned that yes it sucks, but getting back up and trying again is more than worth it. Now 8 months into my year program in paramedic school, I am learning that failure is just another part of learning and most importantly growing as a person. 

That being said, I’m excited to share my journey, and also be a voice in society to start a conversation about millennial topics. When learning more about myself, the one thing I have learned most importantly is that medicine is not all of me and doesn’t define me entirely as the woman I am. Exploring that has been exhilarating! 

With going through school, now dating, going through the process of getting my own place, and being a social bee, I’m excited to share life in my 20s! In short, Glad to be back!
