Today, I officially received the confirmation that I made it 🩺

I can officially say that I am a Doctor - but for me, it’s more than just a title. 

It is 3 year-old me, forcing everybody to let me deliver their (doll) baby. 
It is 16 year-old me, trying to find the right strategies for A-Levels, after many knocks in confidence in my former years. 
It is 20 year-old me, working tirelessly to get the transfer from Biomed to Medicine at St George’s. 
It is 23 year-old me, being forced to learn that death and life are companions. How, In loss, we are called to find life again. How I had to find life again.

Being a doctor, for me, is not just about the title. It’s about holding and honouring people’s stories. It’s about walking with them through their pain. It’s about choosing compassion. Serving. It’s about becoming the kind of person I once needed. 

It’s about resilience. It’s about determination.

It’s purpose. It’s calling. It’s healing.

It’s ministry.

And T, remember when you said, stay, and focus on becoming the best doctor that you can be. I will always do that. And I hope that I can make you proud 🤍

Today, I just don’t carry the title doctor. I carry every version of myself that FOUGHT to be here. I carry the version that cried myself to sleep and I carry the version that made it. 

And the ending is bittersweet. Yes, leaving a medical school that has taught me so much. That has taught me the power of listening, the joy of healing and the love of community. But it’s almost as if that I’m leaving behind a chapter that still feels like it holds you, T. And entering new one when you were supposed to be here is painful. Still, I will always carry you with me.

God, thank you for bringing the work you started in me to completion. Though I know this is just the beginning. For the grace, strength and peace you have given me. For never letting me walk on this journey alone. I give you all the glory. 🥹🤍
