Im so sorry you had to go through a breakup while in PA school, it must've been so hard considering it was an 8 year relationship :( you showed such resilience and strength having to go through all that emotions. I hope you heal and continue to love yourself, and if you guys were meant to be, you'll find your way back together or yet meet another amazing man. Hope you continue to be well and achieve all your dreams.

[@jazminelove87]

I am so happy you’re back! You helped read over my personal statement for PA and did a practice interview with me in your car while traveling 2 years ago! I am now in my clinical year and will be graduating PA school in December! I wish you all the best in your bright future and I’m happy you are doing well!

[@SamanthaCarolyn]

Jazmine! Oh my gosh yes, I remember! 🥰 I'm so glad to see that you're now in clinical year! I'm sure you're absolutely killing it! Thanks so much for the well wishes, sending them right back at you! 🥼♥

[@as6643]

Thank you for coming back. If there’s just one person that your videos have helped… it’s me. So thank you. Looking forward to hearing more about your PA experience. You are an inspiration to my PA journey xxx

[@IslemTav]

The first videos I ever saw on PA was yours! Now I’m back a year later to rewatch it and saw this one. I hope you are well and that you come back soon! You’re an inspiration!! 💖💖💖💖🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@ilovefreefood]

you have positively contributed to my life! I am so sorry about those mean, hateful and unhappy people that tried to bring you down. F them!! Thank you for what you do!

[@anneloudon4707]

Your videos helped my daughter prep for her PA school interview a year ago. She just embarked on her journey this fall. Thank you for your content. You make a difference.🙏🏼❤️👩🏻‍⚕️🩺🥼

[@SamanthaCarolyn]

Oh man. You're going to make me cry, Anne! haha. Thank you for leaving such an incredibly thoughtful comment. Congrats to your daughter!! That's so incredible! 🥳👏🏼. Wishing her the best of luck on her journey, hopefully the videos I make in the next few months will be helpful for her too! 👩🏻‍⚕🥼

[@josenieto278]

I’m a Pre PA student, I have watched your videos to help me prep into becoming a PA. Just want to say thanks for sharing your journey, it means a lot. Respect 🙌

[@SamanthaCarolyn]

Jose, thank you so much! Sending all the respect back your way! Keep working hard as a pre-pa student, it can feel like a long road but it's worth it 1,000%. Feel free to reach out anytime if you have any questions along the way, I'm here for you! ☺

[@danielladominguez9090]

Welcome back, missed your sweet voice ❤

[@GamPhilms]

your videos have helped me SO much as a pre-PA. I truly believe ur videos helped me get the interview invites and acceptances I received. I'm headed to PA school this winter. thank you for all that you do :)

[@SamanthaCarolyn]

Hi Gam, thanks amazing!! I'm so glad to see that you found my videos helpful. Nothing makes me happier. Congratulations on getting into PA school! One of the first few videos I'll be uploading in the next few weeks will be all about how to tackle didactic year, so keep an eye out :).

[@GamPhilms]

@@SamanthaCarolyn Thank you!! So excited to watch that video! :)

[@AshUndone]

I love that you came back! Life is unpredictable and I hope that you continue to do well. Your videos were super helpful in my pre-PA phase and I’m now starting PA school in 2 weeks! I’m a non-traditional student who last was in school in the era of big binders and PowerPoint slide print outs. I really want to do well, so study strategies (particularly if you found any particular technology helpful) would be super interesting to me at this point. I’m also stressing about pharmacology. My sister (who recently finished NP school) has only talked me down half a dozen times in the past couple of weeks. I would love to hear it from you since I feel that you would be honest about the process!

[@SamanthaCarolyn]

Hey, thanks for introducing yourself. It's nice to meet you! Congrats on starting PA school in a few weeks! Woo, get after it! 🥳👏🏼 Those are great topics, I got you! I have a ton of study tips and strategies for didactic year, and will be sure to add a technology component and extra tips for the "harder" classes like pharm and anatomy. Keep an eye out, and good luck on transitioning in PA school! :)

[@mitchie9630]

OH MY GOSH HI!!! Thank you so much for coming back 🎉🎉 I am excited to see where this channel goes! I am a pre-PA student who’s trying to figure out how to get into PA school and your videos have been a HUGE help! 💜

[@SamanthaCarolyn]

Hey Mitchie, nice to meet you! ☺. So glad to see that my videos have been helpful for you! If there are any topics that I haven't touched on yet, feel free to let me know and I can make a video on it (or at the very least, answer whatever questions you may have directly). Keep working hard, you've got this! 👏🏼

[@bricepable]

Hey, I now I'm super late to the party, but I just wanted to remind you how amazing and super helpful your videos have been! I'm interviewing for Charles Drew University in LA next month and I'm so excited! Totally whatever you wanna do or if you're up for it, but personally I'd really like to hear about your experience there between the faculty and it's location!

[@jacquelinenguyen613]

Hi Samantha! Your videos helped calm me down while prepping for interviews and I’m so thankful. I am now starting PA school at the end of this month. Looking forward to your videos regarding didactic year!🙏🏻

[@SamanthaCarolyn]

Hey Jacqueline! Yesss! Congrats on starting PA school soon! That's incredible, and I'm so glad that my videos have helped you up until this point. Looking forward to putting more helpful content out there, hopefully it'll help calm you down during didactic year as well; you've got this! 🥰👏🏼

[@damiandorego7591]

I’m so proud of you!! Given all that you were going through, you still put others first! Please be proud of yourself!!

[@damiandorego7591]

Also, thank you because I finally got into PA school thanks to you and your professionalism, your patience, and amazing advice! I think you’re starting the next chapter in life with a bang! As hard as it is, keep your head up!

[@ilovefreefood]

i'm so excited for what's to come! please make a video about how you tackled financial aid and how you prepared (or not) for PA school finances (did you take out loans, which types, etc.?) thank you xoxo

[@gabriellainsabella7267]

So inspired by you! Thank you for being you :) happy you're back and wishing you the best yet

[@maggiem.3477]

Hi Samantha, I'm so glad you're back. I remember telling myself that the day I apply to PA school I will definitely be back to rewatch her videos and here I am. I finally have my first interview coming up in 5 days. I have been watching your videos over and over. I'm nervous and excited.

[@tracynorman8454]

[@SamanthaCarolyn]

@@primegoalkeepertime9618 Awe, man. That's Amazing. Welcome to my channel, you will definitely be seeing more videos soon. Hopefully it'll give you a sense of what to expect in PA school and will provide you even more reassurance that you're on the right career path. I really couldn't be happier with my decision to be a PA and I hope I can help provide others with that same level of certainty. Congrats on finishing undergrad! Keeping working hard 🙂

[@nathannguyen4940]

Love this channel so much with all the valuable information you’ve provided, thank you so much for your help Samantha! was wondering if you still reviewed personal statements. I will be applying in April and could use any feedback I could get 😊

[@gaby7x91]

Hi! I’m so happy you’re making videos again. I recently came across your videos while prepping for PA interviews. I got an offer! And your videos were super helpful especially for MMI interviews. I look up to up and would love to hear about your PA school experience and life afterwards :)

[@SamanthaCarolyn]

Hey Gaby, yesss! So happy to hear you got an offer! 👏🏼🥳Congrats!! I cannot wait to share all about my experience with PA school, there's so much to dive into. Hopefully you find it just as helpful as my interview videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to introduce yourself and for watching the channel. Nice to meet you! 😊

[@yuliabespalova3472]

Dear Samatha! So happy to hear from you. Congratulations with finishing the clinical year!!! I got accepted to 3 Pa programs by using your advices . Thank you so much. Please share how you survived during the didactic year. Any study tips…. Did you choose your specialty? Did you pass Pance? My best wishes to you!

[@SamanthaCarolyn]

Hi Yulia, that's amazing! Congrats on the PA school acceptances, I love to see it! Those are all very great questions, I will definitely touch on those topics in upcoming videos ☺. I take the PANCE on January 5th 2023... and I have a LOT of study tips to share, get ready to take notes haha. Hopefully it will help you as you transition to PA school! 📓
