Untitled
By Tyler Ellis Smith
This photograph reminds me of medical school and life in general. Far off in the distance is the goal, but between here and there lie countless obstacles, each with its own ups and downs. There is still so much that my classmates and I have yet to learn on our path to reach that distant goal. In pursuit of that final goal, it is important to stop and enjoy the journey and to see how far we’ve already come.
