I completed three years in med school. And I& #39;m still struggling with it.

Sometimes I feel like I don& #39;t belong here- and I& #39;m way behind my colleagues. Mostly I don& #39;t understand what& #39;s going on. It has taken a toll on all aspects of my health.

I wish it were easier.

I& #39;m still surviving. At least trying to.

Today I got the result of this exam I& #39;d given and I felt disappointed.

I don& #39;t understand what our professors expect from us.

My parents are not from the medical background, and they partly assume that being in med school is easy.

Being a gifted child in school doesn& #39;t mean that you& #39;re going to fair well in real life.

It takes skills, and hard work.

I just hope to survive these few years and join the field I like- hoping to make a difference in my patient& #39;s lives.

Sometimes I wish that I would get some guidance from someone- but the competitiveness is so high that asking for help feels difficult.

And whatever I& #39;m writing, is true for a lot of people in medical schools, we are just afraid to express what we& #39;re going through.
