Reconsider

Two days ago I ran into a neighbor and she asked if I was still applying to medical school. I told her that I decided not to apply. Many people think that I suddenly decided not to apply. This decision was made after many months of internal battle with myself. The factor that helped me make my decision was being honest with myself. I ran into that same neighbor again yesterday. She looked at me with a sad face and said “ I want you to reconsider.” I didn’t feel like explaining myself and all the hard work it took for me to be content with my decision. That comment is still weighing heavy on me today. It made me feel as though I didn’t thoroughly think about my situation. Now, I am beginning to question a decision that I was content with a few days ago. The moral of the story is to trust your gut. Someone will always have an opinion on what your life should look like. Don’t second guess a decision that feels best for you.

As Always
