please read the desc box & watch in 4k 💌
hello friends! welcome back to my PLE review series 👩🏻‍⚕️📚
honestly, this vlog holds a special place in my heart - it's easily one of my favorites to film and edit because it feels so personal. this journey has been nothing short of incredible, something i'll cherish for years to come. it's been more than just hitting the books - this review season has become a transformative spiritual journey too where i've gained priceless lessons, formed meaningful connections, and unexpected depths of understanding and personal growth.
i hope you all enjoy this video as much as i enjoyed filming and editing it! ♥︎
stay safe! love always,
elly belly

I've been watching your vlogs since the pandemic and now to see this special moment of your PLE journey makes me so happy, thank you for sharing doc 💚

i started watching your videos 3 years ago and it feels so right to see you again :D

[@bangtanmoments8112]

I was the user "Chimmy" who always commented on your vlogs especially in the height of the pandemic 🙈 seeing you achieve your dream of becoming a doctor feels SO emotional and surreal for me, I'm like a proud Mom. Thanks for this vlog where you showed the vulnerable side usually isn't depicted in "study vlogs", it empowers us, your viewers, that it's okay to feel lost sometimes-what's important is you still show up for yourself and try 🫶 thank you for being the best Ate here on the internet. I really hope I can meet you in person someday and maybe ask for a photo. ILY ❤️

[@trishapee]

Hey there, doc! I've been a dedicated viewer of your vlogs since the pandemic, and I must say, this particular one hits me in a unique way. Your choice of words and background music really conveys the challenges you faced back then, and it's amazing to see how far you've come. Congratulations, doc! By the way, we've crossed paths a few times - from my internship at SPH last year, where we snapped a photo together, to running into you at Starbucks last month as a first-year med student. I actually started vlogging because of your influence! You're truly an inspiration for all the med students out there. Keep shining, doc! I usually don't leave comments on your videos, but I just had to share my genuine happiness for you. 🫶🫶🫶🫶

Hi Elly! I'm a mom but I am enjoying your vlogs so much! My eldest daughter's name is Eli too and I studied medschool a decade ago but wasn't able to pursue. BTW, I love everything about your vlog, the captions, angles and transitions - if you don't mind, what software are you using to edit?

[@ellybelly]
