Good you petitioned wow❤ you self advocated so gracefully and eloquently

[@MadeittoMedicine]

You are so kind!! Thank you! Before I was accepted to medical school, some friends stressed the importance of getting involved with class board so that administration would know who I am. So happy I listened, bc people genuinely look out for me. Im so grateful

When others doubt our progress it feels isolating there are times their words even mirror our own inner critic.yet the only one that truly knows us is❤ and we must not give up on ourselves🎉I like to have a list of inspirational figures as ppl that believe in me,and add my name to that list.these are the same ppl I read about as biographies and even as ppl who overcame failure to mastery🎉❤🎉

Thanks for sharing your journey! It’s so insightful and helpful to those of us aspiring to reach the same goals. Can you possibly share some information about your experience with the HPSP scholarship?

[@MadeittoMedicine]

I’ve had a good experience. They pay my tuition each semester, monthly stipend increases each school year, and I also get a book scholarship at the beginning of each school year too. Here’s the initial video I made about the scholarship too kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3PIaZimo7-Dibssi=vu_aebzoaeOPDjRb
