Reasons Medical School is Like surfing

1. It looks like something cool.
Grays anatomy, endless you tube videos, and web forums, make being a doctor seem so much fun/like wise its almost normal if watching surfers makes you want to surf

2.Once you first try it its harder than you thought
Learning to balance on a surface board is soo difficult(I speak from experience). I was speaking to some first year students, and they where surprised by the amount of work they have to do. Neither are as easy as you thought they would be.

3.Once it gets better, its fantastic
Once you can balance surfing its fun. I wouldn't go as far to describe medical school as fun, but it is rewarding, and each assignment is taking you one step closer to your dream of being a doctor.

4.You will get knocked down ocassionaly
Even the best surfers get knocked down by waves. Like wise even the most organised people will get caught out, and get buried in a mountain of work. This is why I have not been around much, I have 1 essay, 2 presentations, ontop of my usual stuff( homework/making notes learning anatomy)

5.You cant stay down.
When surfing you need to get back to your board, or atleast swim to shore(but surf boards are expensive to replace). Likewise when the world is throwing assignments at you, you have to settle down and do it!
