Thank You

Thank You GOD, for another day.
It's been rough. Not rough because I don't understand what I'm reading, but rough because there is A LOT of reading. For all those soon to be PA students, there is A LOT OF READING. If you are not a reader, I suggest you start reading. I have read a total of 10 chapters in the last 3days. I have one more to read and then some memorizing to do (for Anatomy). I have to take a break to let my mind relax before I get into this next wave of reading.
Other than that, I'm having fun in school. It's a lot of information that needs to be process. I just want to make sure i have it for life, not just for the test. I have been voted the president of my class, somewhat unofficially, but I'm guessing it's going to stick. I think I made someone mad, though. I know some people like to be in charge but at what cost, and why do you want to be in charge. I was nominated to be president while someone else volunteered. Should that person be upset because I was nominated and voted by the majority, and that person volunteered and didn't win? I don't know but that's how it is.
One of my instructors told us something very profound the other day. I don't know why I never thought about it this way, but he said, "You are going to kill people, you are going to save people and you will write prescriptions, that's the nature of your job." I know about the potential of people dying but just hearing it like that makes it real; and really scary. I know no one wants to kill people but in this "practice" we call medicine, it's bound to happen. I just want my failure rate to be extremely, extremely low. It doesn't change what my goals are, just changes my perspective. It makes me want to know more so I don't have the habit of killing anyone. My prayer to GOD is that I give Him glory in my career. I know not everyone believes in GOD, but I want my light to shine so others can see (Matt 5:16), and ask and maybe, by helping someone in their healing process, they will come to know GOD and accept Jesus as Savior.
Thanks for stopping by to read my post. Hopefully it's helpful. I don't write much during the week because I'm so busy but the weekends are not half bad. I'll try to post often.
