@doctorphabs: 2022 → 2026 #PGY5 ✅ If you ever found yourself doubting where you are and where you are going, don't forget to appreciate where you are right now. A previous version of you, many years ago, might have hoped and prayed for what you have right now. Yet we often take the present for granted and don't take the time often enough to appreciate how far we've come. No matter how things might look from where you stand, remember that you are in control of your life and you have the capacity within you to achieve everything that you set out to do. If you have a dream, you gotta protect it. Keep going, no matter what. #neurosurgery #surgeonlife #premedmotivation #firstgeneration
