Growing Pains

Do you remember when you first went from grade school to high school/middle school? Remember how hard it was? There are all these new rules, new teachers, new friends (sometimes enemies), and new stuff to learn (much more difficult than before). You are trying really hard to make a good impression and the stress is about to snap you. I’m convinced that never really stops, it definitely didn’t stop at residency. I feel like all the kids in class are smarter than me. I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing and I’m behind in everything…I’m back in geometry in middle school or organic chemistry in college or cardiopulm in medical school. I survived and I did well, but it’s never pleasant trying something new…I don’t know if everybody else feels this way every time, but I do. Pain is part of growth and growth is a @#$!$...: )
