It was so exciting opening that envelope to see exactly what I had hoped to see!
So what does that mean?
I'll be spending the next three years of my life:
- Working about 80 hrs/week
- Working 6 days a week, about 12hrs/day
- Hanging out with kids nonstop
- Learning more than I even know there is to learn about pediatrics
- Figuring out what style of pediatrician I'm going to be
- Building relationships with fellow future pediatricians
- Learning a whole new level of what "exhausted" means
- Trying to comfort parents as they go through some of the hardest things
- Making children laugh as often as possible
- Passing out a ridiculous number of stickers
- Fulfilling my dreams
The craziest part of all of it? I can't wait! (But I'm definitely going to enjoy some time off first...)
