I failed the first year of medical school and I feel terrible. I genuinely feel like I have let not only myself down but rather my mom, my sisters, and my mentors: all women who have given up so much for me to be here today. I don’t feel like I am smart enough and although I AM given another opportunity to repeat the year again I am worried that I wasn’t able to obtain the skills necessary of me in order to success in my schools curriculum. I cannot fathom doing anything else with my life than devoting myself to healing others but at the same time I don’t know if I am Ablt to succeed in the medical school curriculum.
