don't doubt yourself | Rachel Southard

[@RachelSouthard]

i want to know in what way have you doubted yourself, then proved yourself wrong :) Comment down below

[@syedaambreenfatima7599]

First time was when I shifted to another country in 10th grade, and the school where I got admitted into, had an upcoming exam which included quite a portion of syllabus, that I had not studied. The second time was last year when my father passed away and I had my 4th year medical school professional exam coming up. Both times I doubted that I'll pass them, but not only did I clear them, I scored ammmmazing marks, all with day night hardwork + Allah's help.

[@MuhammadAbbas-yq5jm]

I thought that I'd never get accepted to med school. Got my acceptance on Tuesday! 😁

[@cerysarnold543]

I didn’t think I’d get into med school because I was rejected the first cycle I applied but got into my top choice the second cycle🥺

[@jenniferbecker2665]

Attempt number two towards becoming a nurse. I wasn't sure if myself the first time out. Doing pre recs now.

[@ellajazz105]

I thought I really messed up my interview to go to med school, but found out about 2 months after (when I had already planned what to do instead because I was being pessimistic) that I got in! Just got to get my A Level grades now :)

[@yumnasiraj5119]

Everytime I come to a premiere, my brain goes "I hope this vlog is a long one" 😩 Says a lot about how much I enjoy the vlogs

[@RachelSouthard]

Hehe

[@fernandaramos4188]

I have a tendency of always doubting myself. I’m a 3rd year med student and well the most recent situation that proved I can do anything if I put in the work and effort is for my physiology lab. Where the instructors actually took the time to congratulate my work in some analysis and interpretation of some mechanisms. It was tremendous the amount of bliss and relief I felt. Love your videos by the way!!!

[@Wangjangler]

Hey Rachel I'm curious - do you find that you get more motivation from your passion for learning medicine or the idea of eventually helping your future patients?

[@RachelSouthard]

Both! I absolutely LOVE medicine and learning, in general. But I’m sooo excited to be the best doctor I can possibly be and give someone quality care that they deserve. Sounds cheesy, but that’s what makes me tick. 💕

[@billiont.1857]

Ugh I absolutely love the way you validate the psych patients. I have never in my life heard of a healthcare professional speak to psychosis in such a humanizing way. Like wow, it truly MUST suck to have somebody always judging you or in your ear telling you harmful things :(! anyways just wanted to say you’re gonna be an amazing doc!

[@RachelSouthard]

🥺🥺🥺

[@jerseyyxdanielle]

Already loving it!! One minute in and I’m with you girl! I have a list every day that I usually try to put together the night before (but add to it all day long 😂) This video is just the sign I needed. After HS, my career took the back burner to family and finally at 34 I’ve decided to go to nursing school!! Took the first steps and I have my CNA exam in 2 weeks to get my foot in the nursing door!! Love watching you and am so inspired by you putting it all out there!!! You got this!! ❤

[@avadarby439]

This could not have come at a better time. Very close to failing 2/3 of my classes and in the middle of a messy house move. Burnt out beyond belief, and crying is a solid part of my morning routine lately. This vid helped me feel so much better. Thank you thank you thank you thank you...

[@RachelSouthard]

Here for you, Ava! You’ll get through this 💕

[@hirro__o_]

OMG I just thought to myself right now that "the days are going pretty low and still have to study for my exams no matter how I feel, I really need to watche a video from Rachel". And then this notification just popped up. Eagerly waiting 💪🏻☺️

[@luckystcr]

I’ve had so many inspiring people in my life who motivated me to wanting to become a doctor, and you’re one of those people and I wanna say thank you. It’s been my dream since I was 11, and I’m 16 now. I’ve learned a lot. I can’t wait til my day comes. You’ve gotten so far and I love how you never give up. Keep going even when things get tough. I’m rooting for you Rachel.

[@waniaiftikhar635]

I'm so glad you are on the route to a beautiful and bright future. There will be hurdles on the way but don't give up. You got this sweetie

[@claudialamberts398]

Bro me too!!! I want to become a doctor too!!! heheh yaaayyy

[@luckystcr]

@@claudialamberts398 :))) nice!!

[@RachelSouthard]

I’m excited for you Kassie and thank you for all of your sweet words 🥹

[@zahrakiani8210]

I just want to thank you to share generously your experience during this amazing and hard journey. I am a premed student and many times when I feel burnout I watch one of your videos and watch how hard to have been working especially the down time that you shared had very positive effect on me just to show me everyone has it and I just need to keep pushing and continue hard work and finally will pay off, you really inspire me so just wanted to appreciate that and let you know that the time that you spend in making the video and editing stuff, inspiring someone else in the medical journey, very much appreciated and very looking forward to your residency videos!! Congratulations in advance!!!

[@Bcdf-ei9el]

Your vlogs are so calming! There is no filter and feels real! And there is something in your voice as well that makes it so calming!

[@TheStuport]

Cheers From Ohio To ALL In The Southard Universe & Community! Me and my siblings were brought up on 3 Rules (1) ALWAYS keep your manners with you at All Times (2) Be Yourself, everyone else is already taken (3) Believe That The Good You Have Is Sharable with Others! Me and my siblings were told that The Rest we'd learn by Trial and error! Both Mom and Dad are loving one another in Heaven....BUT....they made sure me and my siblings were able to Strut With a Smile and others along my walk in life have helped this knucklehead stay the course! Really Love This Channel! Cheers To All and Keep Smiling....someone might be in a bad place and see your smile and turn towards Your Sunshine! Cheers From Ohio

[@beccab.6974]

I know psych hasn't been your favorite but it's been fun to watch you on this rotation as its my field of study and I'm about to go off to "residency" next year for my degree. I think mental health has such a large contribution to physical health and that it's so important for those in healthcare professions to have exposure in practicing those active listening and validation skills that are so needed to help a patient feel understood. I've loved hearing your experience listening to patients with mental health needs and challenging yourself to grow in this area! Thanks for always bringing us along on your journey, even through the bad days!

[@09gamecock]

You are definitely deserving of this and you are going to be a true blessing to your patients and the profession of medicine because you care and it shows! The obgyn that delivered my daughter was very mean-the practice I went to whoever was on call delivered, which was fine with me. I had never seen this provider before. Her being mean to me was for me ok at that time because I was lucky. I had an easy healthy pregnancy pretty easy delivery no issues I was so happy to be pregnant after trying to so long/was so happy to have the experience……. I can’t help but wonder how an obgyn like that could impact someone who has mental health challenges or high risk pregnancy/complications etc. you are going to be great obgyn one day!

[@RachelSouthard]

Thank you for sharing your experience 💕 And wow thank you.

[@waniaiftikhar635]

Rachel, you're one of the reasons I applied to university and did not give up. I feel at ease watching you because I can relate so much. I just want to say I wish I could give you a hug and thank you. You are so raw and genuine. May God bless you

[@irem2171]

you're so strong... i watch you whenever i need a boost. i wish i could hug you when you cried :( you're doing amazing ♥

[@Lexiiht]

I must say I usually never actively follow youtubers but I literally watch all of your videos. I always get super excited everytime you upload, it just brings me so much comfort in a way. You inspire me a lot to study hard and to pursue medicine. I wanted to go to med school since forever but the lack of support and self doubt made me question my dream every day. But now I feel more convinced than ever to actually go for it! Love you Rachel!! ❤️❤️

[@swapnilsingh1495]

This was so much needed rn...

[@RachelSouthard]

Love you

[@user-hk3ns9eo7k]

OMG I really needed this I look up to u soo much I'm a pre med student from India and I highly doubt myself sometimes but then I tell myself it is hard but not impossible and again all these efforts are worth it.......so gonna stay in the game🙃

[@RachelSouthard]

Stay in the game! Yes!!

[@broombroom3208]

"I'm looking to have another coffee just 'cause... I want some!" Haha!

[@aaronscottmatthews7883]

Comforted to see you're doing well Finish strong pls

[@all4honor]

I was gonna ask you about doubt. I am so happy you touched on the subject. I got up early and made a conscious effect to strive to be part of the Rachel Herd. Your my hero. You answered my looks questions. Thank you lol. I am sorry you had to go through that.

[@samay5599]

Honestly , this video was so relatable. I am in high school , and I play guitar for the school band. A few months back , I doubted myself whether I could get done with a show that was coming up and an exam that coincided. Fortunately , I nailed both of them. Best wishes , love.

[@laurianenault5428]

I have my med school interview (MMI) tomorrow !! I'm gonna watch the video after :)

[@RachelSouthard]

Good luck!!

[@laurianenault5428]

It went well I think thank youu 😊

[@sumedhst]

Mam, we all go through breakdowns and self-doubt but your vlogs always motivate us to shred the pain and move on

[@priyaspreciousmoment]

Tysm, I needed a lot of motivation to get started today-this was exactly what I needed :)

[@nikolassimo2326]

Okay...So in my country when you finish middle school you need to sit some hard exams so that you can enter high school and guess what...In 2 months I have to sit those exams, I am super stressed because on my birthday(20th june) i have to sit the most difficult subject which stresses me out sooooo much and my math exam on the 23rd of june which most people say its super hard which i agree i have been doing past papers and they are so difficult cannot wait till its over! Thank you Rachel for bringing positivity in our lives and motivating us to push harder every day! Lets keep working hard and all that good stuff❤

[@jadzock5567]

You deserve all the payback that you get for your hard work thanks for your service lolz

[@gałąź-87]

Hi Rachel, i need to tell you - your vlogs give me escape from my own life. Thank you!

[@shadyfranco8881]

I've been watching alot of nursing videos. They're pretty similar, personally I noticed I like watching certain KZbin over others; same as everyone else. Only difference is just that, I only subscribe and watch the ones I feel I can relate to. I wish all youtubers would explain a bit of something they studied in school. Because that will get thems more views; it would help us viewers find the youtuber that is the best teacher for us. It would be great...... BTW, Love your videos. Thank you for sharing. 💙

[@KitKat-dh9zr]

I’m not even in college yet but have big dreams to one day become a doctor. Your channel has been the absolute best, it feels like I’m on an internship lol. Thankyou so much for your wonderful content and taking time from your stressful and busy schedule to post videos

Hey thank you for the video! I’m currently really doubting myself, idk if I can make it to med school, I’m also from a family that’s very poor and debt or thinking about future medical debt stresses me, but yea

[@jwrivers2148]

How do you other pre- med students not go entirely insane.? Currently a first year biomed major and I’m alrdy feeling like my grades will never be high enough to get into grad school. I’m worried all spend 4 years not getting any sleep just to end up in a job that I don’t really want to do anyways. Having to work full time does not help at all but I often just find myself feeling defeated or worthless like I’m doing a whole bunch of nothing. Currently sitting at my desk like my English paper is going to right itself and it’s finals week 🥹.
