2024 has been a whirlwind of activity, adventure, a lot of mishaps but a lot of surprises and goodness. Within my current semester of medical school, I have tackled two exams and now only have about five weeks left before the break. Between exams, socializing, and trying to surprise, I have published my first poetry book. My family was over the moon with excitement and many reached out to buy the book. Within the first two weeks of the book being published, I received warm regards about it.

It reminded me just how much writing can impact people. My book of poetry was about courage love and life. Most of those poems were written at a time when I didn’t feel very courageous and inspired by words that people said to me when I needed to hear them. My poems are echoes of the people in my life who never stopped believing in me even when I didn’t believe in myself.

And at the end of the day, life does go on. I am two exams through my semester, a semester of medical school that I wasn’t even sure I was going to do well in but I picked up my courage and put my best foot forward. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out “The Little Voice of Courage!”

Thank you all for support!
