During Med-school, did you ever feel that you were not going to make it and ever be able to pass and become a doctor?
I really want to be a doctor, or something in the medical field higher than an CNA, and I just want to know that although it is hard, it is not impossible. #doctor #physical-therapy

Though I have never gone to a med-school but I guess it is there almost everywhere. When you go to your first school also you have the same doubt. It is nothing but our fear of unknown. I never felt in my engineering classes that I will ever make it(Specially about the automata class and engineering drawing class. Fortunately I succeeded on both of them but they are still my nightmare). But you need to keep yourself focus on the outcome and you need to enjoy the learning.
If you want to become a doctor or a surgeon you need to believe that you can do it. First you believe and then you do it. It's not vice-versa. There is nothing called impossible because impossible = I + M + Possible. Just go for it. Wish you all the very best.

I went to school for physical therapy. I did not believe I could do it. I solved that this way: I pretended to myself that I thought I could do it and behaved as though I thought I could. You don't have to do it the way I did, find your own way. I got all the help I could. I didn't allow myself to think about anything negative about the schooling or myself. I told to myself, "keep your eye on the prize," and did my best.
You don't have to be brilliant to graduate from school or become a doctor. Look at people who have done it and see who they are and what they are doing. Be persistent, pay attention, keep your eye on the prize, don't let anyone stop you from pursuing your goal. Seek out people who can support you. You will have hard times, failures, successes, ok times, it is about living through it to get to what you want. Commit yourself to what you want and do your best. Becoming who you want to be is not impossible, it is just really hard work. Best of luck.
