It's been 11 years since I decided to pursue a career in medicine, and 3 years since I decided I really wanted to be a PA. I was not a great student in high school or college, and I was a very non-traditional PA school applicant. I hope that my story will motivate some of you to keep going and never give up on your dream of being a PA!
