Tonight my mom got everyone in my family on a zoom call for me to announce that I passed my last board exam of med school /1

I had so many emotions seeing my grandparents (who were born in 1938) tell me about how surreal it was for them to see me go through this process /2

We laughed, we smiled, we cried, we prayed. It was a beautiful time /3

I shared with them my goals in medicine and they had no idea I even thought about these things. I loved sharing my passion with them. /4

All of their sacrifices and support are culminating soon! /5

They reminded me of how I never quit even when things get tough /6

And it ended with my mom, a retired RN telling me something I’ll never forget: /7

“Align yourself with doctors who’s priority is excellent patient care and that will take you further than you’ve ever dreamed. Patient care is the priority.” #MedTwitter #medstudenttwitter /8

I love my family and I appreciate them supporting me through this journey /9

In the words of the #BlackMamba “job not done.” This is only the beginning of my journey! /10
