In filling out multiple applications, it has come to my attention that I have survived 21 science, 5 math, 5 chemistry, and 42 total classes, as well as 17 labs and way too many papers, presentations, and exams. Today, semester number 7 of my undergraduate career has come to a close, and not a moment too soon! With only 9 hours needed to graduate from the University of Tennessee, it’s hard to believe I’ve been here for almost 4 years. I never imagined I would be where I am today.
In looking back at how much I have been blessed this past semester, it is extremely hard to put into words all the great things God has done and continues to do! I so enjoyed working with the Lady Vol soccer team, and am thankful I can continue that work next semester. God is really at work there and has allowed me to see and be part of an amazing work of His.
I have officially been invited to complete step 2, filling out a secondary application, for both LMU and VCOM medical schools. Unfortunately though I haven’t had time to complete them yet due to finals and wrapping up the semester. I am still waiting to hear from UT Memphis, MeHarry School of medicine, ETSU and VT. These are all of the MD programs and they are a bit more swamped at the moment.
So, for now I will enjoy not being in school and knowing next semester holds an easy caseload. The little ‘academic work’ I will have over the break will be filling out secondary applications. Other than that I’m just waiting: waiting to hear from medical schools, waiting for next semester, waiting to graduate and start the next leg of the journey. And I am very content with that. I can be patient and peaceful in the waiting, knowing my future is set, and almighty God controls my destiny!
