Oh yeah........
How could I forget to mention this? Last week, I sent Ohio State my official notification of withdrawal from the school. Let me just say that the letter was only a few sentences long, yet it took my an hour to write. I was shaking the whole time. It was so nerve-wracking. I couldn't even hit the send button myself. I had to have someone else do it for me. I felt light headed and as if I was going to break down any second. My safety net is no longer there. I'm out here to do this for real! I am no longer a medical student. I couldn't help but ask myself over and over again if I had just ruined my life. Sometimes, I still don't know. I guess only time will tell. Although, if I followed my heart and desires, which I believe I did, then everything will be all right, right??

It doesn't matter that you had to have someone else hit the 'send' button. You still did it. I think you're incredibly brave, and strong, and dedicated. And I have rooted so hard for anyone to make it since ... well, since Al Gore was running for president.
You're gonna be great!
{sigh} I have NOT rooted so hard for anyone. Yeesh! (This is why I have an editor -- heh!)

Aww Lin, you never cease to amaze me. You always leave me speechless with your truly heartfelt messages. I do appreciate all of them.
And Anonymous, thanks for that great quote. It certainly is true and I shall pass it along to anyone else I encounter who is struggling with the same things I am.
Hugs and kisses from Mom.
Life will always haves twists and turns; ups and downs. Life is a series of test. You take each test and learn some very valuable lessons from them all. Nothing happens by accident. And if life was to be such a breeze how then would be grow, learn and become wise. Keep your head up, your dreams alive and know that you are loved. Love you, Mom!
