An African-American With A Desire To Inspire.
I must say, this week flew by pretty fast…I legit feel like I just finished typing up last week’s post. 😅 The completion of this week marks the halfway point in my current rotation, which means that I’m a week closer to Match Day as well as to graduation! People always say that this time […]
Read MoreY’all, I have about a month until my residency application is due. A month. That’s like no time at all, especially if you live in my world where time insists on zipping by like a shooting star. I remember first learning about the ERAS (Electronic Residency Application Service) and the whole timeline of fourth-year like […]
Read MoreI had to take a step back a few days ago to fully process the fact that it’s already been three years since I first created this blog. Three years! That’s crazy man. Three years of typing out weekly posts about my experiences as a medical student. I didn’t know how possible that would be […]
Read MoreWell would you look at that, it has already been a week into the New Year! My first week of 2018 was spent in Atlanta, where I enjoyed a fantastic week full of relaxation, goal-setting, and brainstorming. New Year’s Eve was a blast, and New Year’s Day was full of some spectacular college football games. […]

Plus, the interns and residents I worked with this past week have been gracious enough […]
Read MoreThere was so much emotion around me. Laughs. Screams. Tears. Jumps of joy. Hugs. Kisses. It was the day that all medical students across the nation work tirelessly for; a day that determines our future and indisputably seals our fate. Match Day. The fourth years all around me had matched in various specialties in a number of […]
Read MoreFebruary is already looking like its going to fly by very quick. But then again, when has time not flown by since I started medical school back in late July? It’s damn near impossible to fathom how fast I’m approaching my second year of medical school…almost nerve-wracking. I don’t feel that much different from when I […]
Read MoreSo I took a morning stroll today to CVS. It was a nice, brisk morning, not too hot and not too cold…it was pretty chill. It was also a very slow morning. Winston-Salem is the kind of city that has traffic lights on every corner because it wants to act like it’s poppin’…thing is, I saw like […]
Read MoreWell it’s been about a week into Anatomy and I’m not wailing to God for mercy or anything…so I guess I’m doing alright so far. Don’t get me wrong though, the amount of info that we’ve been force-fed has been pretty intense. Just this past week alone, I’ve had nine lectures, two 4-hour learning sessions, a […]
