In May of 2011, I was faced with the disappointment of not getting into a Canadian medical school. As such I applied to Ross University- a leading international medical school. After getting the call that I was accepted, I felt a rush of emotions- joy, excitement, inspiration, and at the very back of my mind- uncertainty. I didn’t exactly know what life in medical school was like, but who cares! I was finally given my chance to prove myself. I was going to be a physician, I made it, I got in! The hard part was finally over… or so I thought.
