An African-American With A Desire To Inspire.
This past year has been one of the most incredible and transformative years of my life. I matched into a specialty I love at such an excellent institution.

Your boy is still here making the most of the free time that has been afforded to him during this flex block. 😜 I flew back from Boston last Tuesday and have been hanging around both Chapel Hill and Winston since then.

Read MoreAnd just like that, my Surgery rotation has come to an end! This marks the completion of my sixth rotation of third year, giving me only two more four-week rotations to engage in before I start my fourth year! I’m definitely starting to feel the end-of-the-year momentum! Also, with Match Day having occurred just this […]
Read MoreOkay, crunch time is officially here. I have 11 days until my Surgery shelf exam, and I’m going to be losing an hour thanks to Daylight Savings Time next Sunday. Believe it or not, 11 days is not a lot of time to review all the material that I still need to get through in […]
Read MoreIt’s OVER!! I made it to the light! I’ve finally completed the USMLE Step 1 Exam!!! WHOOOOO-HOOOOOO!!!!! It’s been almost a week since I took the exam, so I’ve had some time to process the surreal feeling that came with finally finishing it. After I wrote last week’s post, I got some snacks for the […]
