I graduated with a 1.6 GPA, and at the bottom 11 percentile of my senior class. I Ended up doing 10 years in the military 3 Army guard, 7 US Navy. I became a corpsman in the Navy specializing as a respiratory therapist. During my time in the military and a year after separating it took me a total of 11 years to get past remedial courses, undergrad, and PA prereqs. I recently got accepted to PA school. This story is all too familiar. Glad to see that there are other black men out there finding ways to overcome and achieve success.

I've always wanted to be a physician, but I was just too lazy to put forth any real effort studying. It wasn't until working my last crappy job doing back breaking manual labor that I broke down into tears and realized how my laziness in college has robbed me of my dream. I'll do anything to go back in time and fix my mistakes.

Yuppp same reason I hardly ever tell people I'm in school to be a doctor. People either treat you differently, ask you a million questions, or throw jealous hate shade (the average illogical response) and with women you generally can't trust their responses afterwards so it's best to just not tell people very often. It's extremely sad that's the world we live in now but it is, the morals of humans is certainly drastically degrading by year. Being a doctor is nothing special, just bc a majority of people aren't capable of becoming one doesn't make us anything special, it just means we are able to be persistent on a path many aren't. It's just a job like any other, we don't find it exotic or unbelievable.....other people do....and we can't control that ignorance.

Doc Webb, Army Vet here. I just finished my 8 years of service in November. I’m now looking into schools back home in Texas and am considering Texas A&M for undergrad and medical school. I am 30 years old now. What are your thoughts about my age and beginning this path? After serving, the medical field has become my main goal after all of my experiences. I do have college credits, but my GPA is in the B/B+ range. Should I start fresh to make sure I get as good of grades as possible? Keep up the great videos! I’m so glad I found your channel! Jamie

It gets depressing at time as teacher but seeing my students in you makes it all worth it.

Hello Antonio J Webb. I share a similar story to you in that my lack of knowledge of the medical school process (I am from the UK) but unlike you I did not have the conviction of wanting to study medicine from 17 years old, my conviction and volition to study medicine developed at the relatively mature age of 24 years old. I plan on applying to medical school at either 26 or 27 years of age because most medical courses in the UK are 6 years I will graduate at either 33 or 34 years of age, doing a course like one did the Georgetown Post Bac GEMS programme to enable me to apply to medical school, 10/11 years after someone who chose to do Medicine earlier from 18 and qualified at 23 years old. I am currently an ECG technician, as an ECG technician I am developing traits I would not otherwise have (such as empathy, patience and building a rapport with the patients I see) had I applied to medical school with just brief work experience. I now know the difference between a job and career, a career offers development, increased opportunity and responsibility; most jobs do not. You are an inspiration, you were not moulded by you environment. Thank You

Wow👏👏👏👏 moral of the story: Never give up on my dreams! Thank you so much Dr. Webb!!! I'm pursuing a nursing degree right now but my goal is to become a Dr. 😁

hey Im 23 years old just became a emt, i dont have a degree in anything but I really want to go to college getting a four year degree, community college first then forth, while working as an emt so i can then try going to become a Doctor (surgeon). I know im probably starting late by not having not even college experience, but its something im passionate about. im just looking for any advice and any tips it is much appreciated. I went from being a barber and going to hair school, to wanting something more and being able to help patients and make a difference in peoples lives as a doctor.. i appreciate any advice and tips thank you. Your channel has really motivated me to follow this dream

So glad you're a doctor & overcame your personal challenges! However it's really sad you went to Iraq and were a part of the destruction of that country and innocent people who were oppressed by our country which went to war on them for no reason 😢

Thanks for sharing! As a first-generation PhD student, I agree that mentorship can make a great difference in a person's career journey. "Never, ever, ever give up!"

My undergraduate Chemistry professor became a good friend and mentor. He is why I got into graduate school and got my PhD. NEVER give up and always remember the people who helped you get where you are.

He is right. Before Dr. Webb there was nothing out there with THIS MUCH information on how to become a doctor. I learned so much from him; more than I learned from reading books for years at the library on how to become a doctor.
