I completed three years in med school. And I'm still struggling with it.

Sometimes I feel like I don't belong here- and I'm way behind my colleagues. Mostly I don't understand what's going on. It has taken a toll on all aspects of my health.

I wish it were easier.

I'm still surviving. At least trying to.

Today I got the result of this exam I'd given and I felt disappointed.

I don'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't mean that you'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'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'm writing, is true for a lot of people in medical schools, we are just afraid to express what we're going through.
