Emails

Ok, I am in the process of trying to link my email accounts together as well as my blog so it is easier for me to remember passwords etc. Blogger changed my settings and I was locked out of it for a while...but I'm slowly getting it together again!

In the interim I received a lot of emails, mostly from students and I'm working through them. If you emailed me, I will get back to you. The majority of you are expressing your doubts and fears about making it through PA school. YES, I HAD THE SAME FEARS...we all do. But harness that fear and turn it into MOTIVATION. You will have good days and bad days. Days when you question what you are doing and why you are doing it and days when your desire to be a PA are very clear. And guess what? These same feelings will occur even when you graduate and are working as a PA. In fact, I'm sure they happen in every profession. I have learned that its part of the human condition. Again, harness that energy and use it to your advantage. If you are feeling particularly overwhelmed reach out to your classmates or teachers. Its also very helpful to know the people you can count on even before you start PA school. Create an inner circle of people that will support you no matter what and won't get tired of you complaining about all the studying you have to do!

As many PA programs are starting this time of year (mine did)....BEST OF LUCK!!! As I look back now, I have very fond memories...mostly of my classmates who have become lifelong friends. And to be honest, I actually miss the intensity and academia! Work life is very different than student life. Soak it up, make the best of it and shoot for the stars.
