Hello all!
Today is my 21st birthday and unfortunately I'm spending it studying for my finals this weekend. This isn't just me posting about it being my birthday I've actually felt pretty humbled with the birthday wishes I've gotten and I figured I'd write a little post about it.
I went through a phase where all I was really concerned about was myself and my issues. Don't get me wrong I still was kind and friendly but I wasn't as helpful as I am now. All I thought about were things wrong in my life, and trying to fix them. I still had friends, I'm a pretty social girl, but I just felt that some part of me was missing.
Over the past year and a bit I have reignited that little flame that went missing and I'm the full throttle me again. I always make sure I am available for my friends, whether they need a laugh, help with homework, a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen… you can name anything and I will do it for my friends. I feel like opening myself up like this and basically putting my heart on my sleeve for my friends has really strengthened my relationship with them. It's a good feeling to know that you're the one they want to call when they have an issue, or a funny story to tell.
I think thats the sole reason I want to be a doctor. I love working with people and being around people, but I thrive in situations where I know I can help someone. Physically, emotionally, psychologically and any other ways you can think.
So I guess this post goes out to all of my beautiful friends who have brought the real Jen back! They all are such an inspiration to me and people like them make me want to be the best person I can be. They've been there for me through so many ups and downs and I couldn't be where I am today without all of their support.
I truly have the best friends in the world and I hope they all realize how special they really are.
- Jen
