Jumping back into the blog today with a huge congratulations to everyone who matched! I was honored to have participated in the journey of several really, really amazing doctors. It has been such a thrill getting excited texts full of exclamation points throughout the afternoon.

Match Day can also be a day full of anxiety, stress, fear, and uncertainty. It can be all of these things if you didn’t match or didn’t get your top choice; it can also be these things if you did. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned since my own Match Day is that life is an awe-inspiring adventure, and sometimes the things we can’t control turn into moments that matter more than we could have ever imagined.

So as scary as it sounds, embrace the uncertainty. Trust in your capacity for adventure, your ability to adapt and change, your resilience, your inner wellspring of happiness, your courage and curiosity and love and pack it all up and cinch it down and bring it with you on the next leg of your journey, wherever or whatever that is.
