An African-American With A Desire To Inspire.
My third year of medical school is officially over! So you aaallllrrrready know what time it is!!! It’s so exciting to be able to finally go into fourth-year and to focus on rotating in the electives that I’ve picked for myself. Ever since my first year, I’ve heard how wonderful fourth-year is and how much […]
Read MoreThis is it y’all! I’m heading into my final week of third-year rotations!! I’m finally going to be taking my eighth and final Shelf exam this Friday, and I couldn’t be more ready to get it over with. It’s taking everything in me to get through all the material that I need to study in […]
Read MoreAnd just like that, another week has flown by! Chai!! *in my best Nigerian accent* I think I’m already starting to get used to this third-year lifestyle. In between the early mornings, long yet satisfying days at the hospital, lessons I’ve been learning from my upper-levels on my teams, nights of forced studying, and patients I’ve helped treat, […]

Read MoreSo I’m still out here grindin’. But y’all already knew that. This Endocrine/Reproductive exam that we have on Friday snuck up so fast on me man. March snuck up even faster! How we’ve already managed to get through February, I’ll never know. Also, with March comes Step Study Block. As a matter of fact, the study block starts […]
Read MoreI’m finding it harder and harder to focus on my studies in the midst of all this BS happening around us. It’s only been a little over a week since Inauguration Day and Donald Trump has already caused chaos in this country by issuing 14 executive orders (including one banning immigrants from several countries in […]
Read MoreAlright I knew I would be hitting the ground running when I got back to school… BUT DAMN!!! *in my best Chris Tucker voice* I don’t think I’ve really been able to catch much of a break since getting back from Atlanta last Monday. I started class Tuesday morning with four lectures of Renal Pathology […]
