She told us that this was a difficult path, but it was worth going through it.
During one of our classes, we were all tired and frustrated with one of the tests we had recently taken. She took time during the class to show us a video. The video was about a patient in terminal condition. It was extremely moving. When the video ended, she told us that what we were going through was hard, because it is preparing us for our future. The situations and the stress are going to be hard to handle. She told us that this was a difficult path, but it was worth going through it. These words made me realize, that this is supposed to be hard, because once I graduate things will continue to be hard but I'll be more prepared. Most importantly, she reminded me one more time to keep my eyes on my goal.
