The Second Leg

I'm in medical school. I'm actually in medical school. It's been such a long road, such a struggle to get here. But I'm here. I'm actually here. And I'm loving it. It's not easy, but I'm loving it.

It hasn't been easy getting here, and it's somehow been just as hard now that I am here. I guess I can equate it to being in a really long triathlon. It is as if I've just finished the first really long leg. I struggled to get through, and I want to cry at the end of the leg out of joy and pain. But I make it. Then I realize there are two more incredibly lengthy and equally as tough legs to get through before the end. So I take a deep breath, put my head down, and start chugging again.
