Anyone can tell
from my ghostly pale skin that I have been having an atypical summer. Instead
of being home, enjoying the warm, sunny days at Lake Erie, I have been in
Boston for an internship. No amount of sun could make me regret my choice to
take on this experience working in the Harvard Hospital system. I shadow
several doctors throughout the week during their clinical rotations, and on
their off days, I help with their research. I am grateful for their time,
patience and belief in my abilities. They push my boundaries and allow me to
succeed. The highlight of my summer thus far was successfully diagnosing my
first patient in the ER (with the supervision of one of the doctors of course)
and contributing to a study with the potential of being published in several
reputable journals.
I look forward to getting back onto the court this coming fall, and having
afternoon/night practices. Since my commute is about an hour to an hour and a
half via train every day, I have been waking up at 5 am to get to the gym.
Let’s just say I am relieved to have coaches who do not like to have morning
practices!
