So I haven’t updated the website in a long while. I have currently been very busy in an organization called Future Business Leaders of America – Phi Beta Lambda. It is a student business organization that allows all majors to join.

I was recently elected to serve as their 2010-2011 Southern Region Vice President. I will oversee the twelve southern states that make up the Southern Region of Phi Beta Lambda. The Southern Region Vice President is one of the nine national officer positions that govern the nearly 11,000 student members of this organization.

We are now getting ready for our National Officer Training (N.O.T. as I like to call it!) and I found out that on my second flight I get to travel with out National Secretary. It is kind of cool that we can come from two different parts of the US and happen to end up on the same flight coming from Atlanta to Reston and be sitting next to each other. Now I know they most likely set that up, but it is awesome. Now we can plot how to take over everything as we travel.

Anyways thats my short update!

Okay so I have been recently back and forth about my career choice. I thought part of helping me decide would be getting a job in a Pharmacy because my Career choices have been Doctor or Pharmacist. Well I didn’t get the Pharmacy job that I was hoping to get (sucks!). Anyways I did a Med School tour Friday (16th) and had a BLAST!

I got to first go to the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) which falls in with my March of Dimes volunteering. It is sooooo touching to see these little guys and girls fighting to stay alive.

The second thing I got to do was sit in on a Surgery. This has to be the best thing I have done and help me make the final call for what I want to be. I loved watching the surgery and knowing what was going on. It was very interesting to see the Dr’s doing their work, and no I wasn’t behind a glass wall. I was in the room with the Drs.. looking over their shoulders.

And before all that we had a GREAT speech that told you that a Dr’s true job is to remove the fear in medicine and sickness. Its not the healing its the removing fear. To be able to tell someone, I can fix that you take away the fear that something could kill you.

So I am now going to be a General Surgeon… now to just get my BA in Chem, then my MD so I can go and do Surg Residency.

Life, it is the unknown that shall always confuse us. However, the time has come in everyone’s life when they know it is time to let go of some things. The quote above tells us that even though we have moved apart during this current times we have effected others lives with what we have done while together.

In 22 days I turn 20 years old. Times have come that I change who I am, and become a better person for that. Time has come that I take a stance against the errors of the world and make my own self known.

Today, I talked to a friend, that is so close I used to consider a Brother, for the first time in about a week, and honestly I didn’t care for what he spoke. It was like we were strained to be able to say hello to each other and ask how things where going. Life put us together during High School, but in College it has torn us apart. He is the college drop out that is happy with being in a factory for the rest of his life. I am in College striving to make myself better than that. Better than my father that is a factory worker and better than my mother that is a nurse.

In many ways I don’t know why i strive so hard, but I do.

This week has marked myself as trying to come to terms with whats going on in my life and making some changes to better myself. I shall strive to study harder and prepare myself for the classes that lay ahead.
