Med Reflection
Although I wanted to hear that I had been accepted to the program, I was also prepared to be rejected. However, I had not imagined the possibility of being waitlisted once more. In 2015, I applied to MED while I was still in college hoping to spend a summer learning about the dedication required to succeed in medical school. I was waitlisted and the spot for me was never created. Fast forward two years into the present and I have found myself in the same position. The program is the same, but my experience is utterly different in a variety of ways this year. Over the past two years I have had invaluable experiences that have solidified my resolve to attend medical school.
I graduated a semester early in December of 2015. Having more time in

    Personal Narrative: Darnell-Cookman High School

    “You’re transferring schools, Karina!”, my mother exclaimed a week before my sophomore year. Ultimately, this was the last thing I wanted to hear. I kept trying to decipher whether the news was good or bad. Moving to a Medical Magnet school smelled like defeat, and I was not fond of change. Public school was my forte. I was adapted to crowded lunch rooms, lively classes, and having classes such as art, band, up to ROTC. I wasn’t aware of it at the time, but there was something hidden behind my personal chaos. Overall, this life-altering experience is what shaped me into the dedicated pupil and aspiring health care professional I am today.…

    Kennedy Sittig Research Paper

    I am not your traditional medical school applicant. I do not have a 4.0 at a fancy big U nor have I helped helpless African children fight malaria, which is a goal of mine, but I digress. I did not make the best choices when I was younger and did not realize my full potential until the age of 21. I attended a semester at a party school when I was 18 and convinced myself school was not for me, when in fact, it was just an excuse to coast by. I never challenged myself at the awkward age 16-20 years old. I waited tables, worked in a warehouse, and did part time labor-intensive work to pay the rent and bills. I did enough just enough to get by. However, when I was 20, everything came into perspective. I was at a party having a great time with my best friend; I was in Louisiana at the time and as they say, “laissez les bon temps rouler”, translated, let the good times roll. That quickly changed. My best friend had a 5-minute long seizure, as everyone looked dumbfounded around him; I quickly took action, put him on his side and called 911. After a couple hours in the waiting room, two doctors…

    AVID Reflection

    The AVID program has helped me in many ways, but the thing it helped me the most with was actually understanding the importance of going to college and it has taught me how to get there. The process of going to college can be very confusing especially for a first generation college student like me. AVID has been extremely helpful with answering all my questions I have about college. It has also kept me on track with the things I need to need get done during my senior year in order to be able to attend college; for example, college application deadlines, scholarship deadlines, and taking tests (placement, SAT ACT).…

    Pre-Med Reflection

    Even as a sophomore, I understood that helping others succeed is essential. In my later years, I have perceived firsthand how vital such teamwork is. When a patient is admitted to the hospital for an operation, the pathologists, the nurses, the physician assistants, anesthesiologists, surgeons, and pharmacists all play a vital role in the concerted delivery of health care. In spite of this, many professors at Duke encourage incessant competition between pre-med students. Many of our courses are curved, and that means that it is in each student’s best interest for his or her peers to do poorly. This is not representative of the cooperative nature of the health care professions, nor is the increased competition conducive to learning.…

    As the semester is coming to a close, I have realized this reflection will be my last. When I enrolled in this course, I hoped it would be any easy elective. This course has been a pleasant surprise! I have learned an enormous about the health care system that I wouldn’t have learned otherwise. Information in the course is pertinent for anyone going into the health care field to know, which is why it attracts a gamut of students with eclectic interests. Almost each and every student has a different interest in the field; this course is helpful for all of us. The uniqueness of this course is my favorite aspect of it.…

    Clinical Reflection

    This week was the first time I did my clinical rotation as an FNP student and it was absolutely a completely new world for me! Why? First, I was expecting to just follow my preceptor who is a PA as I mentioned before. However, it was great that I an opportunity to follow my PA’s supervising physician who is a surgeon! Before going any further, I would like to share that I am in a specialty clinic – hand surgery - a subspecialty of orthopedics. The clinic deals with issues related to the elbow and below. The second reason that this is a such a novel health care setting for me is that I have learned new terms that I never encountered before such as Dupuytren’s disease and De Quervain's tenosynovitis (also known as “mommy’s wrist”). It was also a timely review of the anatomy and physiology of the arm and…

    In my opinion, I think this poem consists of more than one direct meaning, which is God being dead, and justice being gone. This poem reveals the sins committed on earth by human beings are bad, and how things would change when more people become corrupt and take advantage over one another. As a narrative poem, this poem describes how Satan will dominate the world when the end of the world arrives. The enjambment in the poem is used to convey that the end of the world is going to come not as a gradual event, but as one huge connected climax. This poem literally gives out a warning sign, and reveals what a horrific ending we would have if people decide to be selfish, greedy, and act inhumanely. The poem I chose to share at the poetry café is called, “God Lay Dead In Heaven” by Stephen Crane. Stephen Crane is an American novelist, short story writer, poet, and journalist. He is recognized by modern critics as one of the most innovative writers of his generation. Crane began writing at the age of four and had published several articles by the age of 16. Stephen Crane was born on November 1, 1971, and died on June 5, 1900; he had passed away at a very young age after accomplishing great works in literature. Having little interest in university studies, he left school in 1891 to work as a reporter and writer. When Crane began to write poetry seriously, he once stated that his overall poetic aim was "to give my ideas of life as a whole, so far as I know it". The poetic style used in both of his books of poetry, The Black Riders and Other Lines and War is Kind, was unconventional for the time in that it was written in free verse without rhyme, meter, or even titles for individual works. However the poem I have chosen was written by the proficient poet, in 1895.…

    The first thing I noticed in Dr. Jose Rizal’s life was that he lived a simple one. He did not choose to have a luxurious life like the most of us have wanted. Even before he became under surveillance by the Spaniards, he had lived his life as simple as possible. I think it was the work of his parents that made him lived like this. I strongly believe that one’s lifestyle is influenced mostly by their parents. I learned from the life of Rizal the importance of taking part of the parents to their children’s morals.…
