The Last Stretch

As I wait to go out to dinner with my peers for the last time, I sit back and reflect on my week. I have to admit the best thing has been the brevity of the days – even though I had four exams in three days, I thoroughly enjoyed spending two hours testing and having the rest of the day to myself.
Final exam scores were posted for most exams and I have to say that Human Physiology was still the most challenging class for me. Although I did worse on that exam than I initially thought, I learned that the best way I study is when I’m alone and under pressure. SEP, more than anything, should be a stepping stone to greater things and I can say that it has definitely been just that. I know when I return to UNC in the fall, I will be familiar with concepts that should aid me in my future classes.
My room is packed and there are mixed emotions of excitement and gloominess- excitement that we all finished the program but sad with the fact that some of us may never see each other again. But I know that with some effort we can all still manage to meet up.
As I write this I am reminded of the fact that none of us would be here in this exceptional program if it were not for the efforts of all of the administrators, professors, and the program assistants. I would like to thank all of my fellow peers who helped push me through this program as this is exactly the type of help we’ll all need when we are accepted into our respective professional institutions.
