I haven’t been on here in awhile as I was focusing on finishing up my clinicals for Surgical Technology. To my surprise we have a new site it’s no longer PreMed Star. I just wanted to give an update on what’s going on in my world. While finishing my clinicals and preparing to graduate in May. On March 18th, I was involved in and car accident where my car got totaled and my wrist was broken. Due to my injury, I had to put my clinicals on hold and my participation in graduation was in question. I have cried many days and nights, been dealing with PTSD from the accident and in alot of pain. However through this tumultuous time I thank God for sparing my life it could have been a lot worst but he is bring me through this test day by day. I can now say on May 17, 2019 I will be earning my second degree. Sorry for the long post I just really wanted to share my story and hope that it may touch someone else to not give up and to keep fighting for what you want and deserve.

Laterica, I am VERY proud of you. I remember a year ago on one of the Thursday chats when you were deciding if you should pursue this degree! Time flies. I’m glad you stuck in there and congrats on the degree. I’m even more glad to hear that you’re okay after the accident!

Thank you so much Dr. Dale! Yes time does flies. I think that was one of the best decisions I could have made to pursue a degree in Surgical Technology. I can see the many benefits it will provide me once I am in medical school and doing my surgical rotations.
