End of the Semester

It's been a short time back following Thanksgiving and we are getting near to closing down shop for winter break. Many classmates are anxiously anticipating returning home to family and most importantly a much needed vacation. Well vacation for most of us will be studying for the MCAT if you consider that one. For me, I will be staying here with the family and enjoying quality time with my nephew. Chad and I had one last day volunteering with the Habitat team before the end of the semester. We had the pleasure of working with a group of ladies that all went to Tulane and were in the same sorority that made it a tradition to come volunteer in the city following Hurricane Katrina.  I really respected the fact that they came down on their vacation from all different states to help rebuild New Orleans. 

Reflecting back on the semester and the five months that have passed I could write a book for all that has happened but I don't have time for that. Instead, I am going to say a few words that summarizes what I have gone through, a semester vignette if you would call it but not a clinical vignette which we all have heard about too many times this semester. I can honestly say that I have not one regret from the start of this program. All the professors have been very helpful and understanding. My experiences with Habitat for Humanity have been very rewarding to say the least. I have developed greater confidence in myself all around. There are many things that I am missing and would love to say but my time is up. Happy holidays everyone and see you next year!
