I'm home for the weekend from my pediatrics rotation. Enjoyed a relaxing weekend with my Dad - went window shopping and watched some movies, and played chess. It's been a very long time since I've had the chance to relax with Dad like this. I've successfully passed my second year of medical school; just got the final exam results today. It's such a relief to know that finally, hard work has payed off and things are moving in the right direction. I am really enjoying my clinical rotations. It's overwhelming to think of the friends and family who have played a huge part in my getting to this place and how they will continue to support and encourage me in so many different ways as I move forward through medical school and on. The support that Dad and I have received from all you friends and family is tremendous. Thank you! You love you'all dearly.
