I still remember a comment she left on one of my clinical assignments during my second semester. She told me she believed in me and that I was capable. She may not remember writing those words, but I have carried them with me ever since. On days when I feel incapable, I remember that Ms. D believed in me, and that alone gives me the strength to keep going. I don’t know if she will ever read this, but if she does, I want to say thank you—for believing in me and for always pushing me beyond my comfort zone.
