Interview of Two More Role Models.

Summarry of Each Conversations.

I interviewed Dr Cynthia Thomas, She works at Access Care, she is a wonderful lady. She was part of the reason I stayed focus in wanting my dream. I met her 4 years ago, and she encouraged me to keep heading for my dream, because it pays at the long run. She is a dedicated lady, and a Obe-gynea Doctor. Dr Cynthia told me, that her journey through med school wasn't easy, and neither was it too tough. But that she's an example older people needs to look at, and follow her determination step, and get up on their feet and say, Yes!! I can do it. When I and Dr C. met she was highly delighted that I wanted to go to med school, she embraced that fact and told me how lucky I am that she did not had that light shinning on her during her time. In the sense that she was older she said, and that when she even started pre-med was when she was 30years old. Before she even started premed classes, and that after 4 years of pre-med, she went to 4 years med school, and that she was 38 in her late 30's into 40's when she graduated as a doctor. So for her her discouraged moments will be, when she said it was kind of difficult for her, because she had family as well at this time to take care of. So she had to shovel between school, work, and kids. You can imagine that, but anyways, she said her journey was fun, nice and intresting. She said during the first two years of med school it was still class works, more Anatomy classes to be taken and so on, then the third and final year was clinicals where by you disect cadabars{dead people donated for reseach study}. She said that was the fun part, and they were sent to hospitals as well for clinicals. And that after she graduated she was lucky she got a job at the hospital of her choice, and she's been doing great till today. She also said that if she had to come back to life again in another world, she would still go for the same dream. Wao!! I like that. The challenges she faced was that she was older and she still struggled her way to the end. And that she overcame that fact, by staying determined, self cautious and focused.
