Applying to Medical School...It's The Climb!!

After a few rejections, I almost lost all hope. I thought to myself, "What did I just set myself up for?" I mean I knew going into this that the odds were high against me. Then I logged into my student account to see what grade I got in my statistics course. Low and behold I saw a grade of "A" staring at me. A slew of emotions stirred inside of me. Once again I proved to myself that I am no idiot. I am still that genius student that began reading 5th grade level at the age of 4 and started college courses at the age of 15. Sure I got lost along the way and slipped. However, I did not stay down. I kept on moving and climbing. I will get accepted into a medical school. I will become a doctor. I will be one of the greatest physicians to have practiced medicine. While this application process has taken me for a roller coaster of a ride, I remain motivated and determined. Like the Miley Cyrus song says, "I gotta keep trying! Gotta keep my head held high! There's always gonna be another mountain. It ain't about how fast I get to medical school. It's the climb!" All together these lyrics hit my situation right on. May you find some inspiration in the lyrics and music, too.

I can almost see itThat dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I, I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah! 
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes you gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah! 

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep your faith, keep your faith, whoa
