In my four years of medical school, I’ve learned a lot, not only about medicine but also about myself, what kind of life I want, and how to battle stress when life gets tough. I’ve also realized that while medicine is something that I love and adore, it doesn’t define me or who I am as a person. Most people are unaware of how easily they can lose themselves when they devote all of their time, energy, and focus to studying and practicing something.
