Hello everyone! I hope you all are having a lovely week. Thanksgiving break is creeping up on us and I can hardly believe it. I know I am feeling overwhelmed by all the work that has to be completed before then, but don't stress, it'll all get done!
Crossroads seems as though it was a long time ago, but it was less than two weeks ago! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for all your hard work, you made Crossroads a huge success! I really enjoyed getting to know so many of you better. Even if you only volunteered for a short time or felt that you didn't do much, you made a lasting impression on the presenters and professors who attended. It was amazing to see so many of you eager to help and to learn more about the field.
For me, Crossroads is always the reminder I need about the big picture. It's easy to get caught up in the comparison game; making sure your grades are the best they can be and that your experiences and involvement in clubs will make you stand out when you apply to grad school. I know I am guilty of this, but it'll only make you want to rip your hair out. Crossroads shows how what we learn in the classroom actually applies to the real world. Crazy, right? But our curriculum is designed to help us become the best possible clinician we can be. So while grades and volunteering is important, it is even more essential that we do not lose sight of the end result and that one day we will be able to better someone's quality of life. So learn as much as you can without stretching yourself too far, but do it out of passion for the field rather than for your resume.
What was your takeaway from Crossroads? I'd love to hear about it!
Some of our lovely volunteers!
