Quote of the Day

Henry Ward Beecher said, “Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anyone expects of you. Never excuse yourself.”

I have always known I could do more than anyone else thought possible, and I have consistently proved myself to be more than they bargained for. I love a challenge, and do not let even a hint of an opportunity go unclaimed. If I want something, I go for it and give it all I have. I succeed because I aim high and work hard, and a graduate education will put me one step closer to achieving my goals.

When I think about a graduate degree and taking a break from the sights and experiences that I’ve known and explored for my gap years, I am filled not with fear, but instead, feel the need to rise to the occasion. To live day in and day out in a place filled with my peers who are all in the pursuit of different branches of academia, from new therapies to patient care, seems like a dream come true for me. The ability to choose and specialize my educational pursuits and goals gives me the daily motivation to make each action count.


One other quote states"Every time you get out of bed and start a new day you are giving yourself a new opportunity for experience and learning. Each day that you spend awake is a day unlike any other that has ever been lived or will be lived again. There is nothing which, once learned, serves no purpose; for, even if its only use is repeating it at an appropriate time, there is always the chance that you are planting a seed in someone’s mind. "

When I leave my home into my surroundings and spheres of influence, I step forward with a love of knowledge that has been sown and can now only flourish. Even in my daily experiences as a teacher and tutor, I have the ability to pass on what I have learned into the future. What will be truly exciting about my future education and career, is that I will have the opportunity to do so in a clinical and academic setting. My students and future patients provide me with the opportunity to educate others, as well as to learn from their experiences.
