REAL LIFE STORY. "Today i was driving down the freeway complaining about how i have to be stuck inside this whole weekend for yet another exam on Monday. Honestly I was really frustrated. I was telling myself, or rather yelling lol, that i wish i could just be at that point of my career where im actually helping patients and making a change. Where i can afford the nice things i like, have my dream place with tons of dogs, go to the movies on fridays, shop on saturdays, and have brunch on sundays. Where i can be with my beloved every single day and wake up and go to bed with my best friend. Then i asked “God why do you want me to be a doctor? Why couldn’t i be something else?” As soon as i exited the freeway i saw a new flower vendor at the stop light. He looked young, probably my age. I didn’t want flowers but i wanted to offer him some money, unfortunately i didn’t have anything. Suddenly his face turned pale like he had seen a ghost. I look around and i see the police approaching him with this young man in a suit. I was like oh hell no not today! Immediately i started to tear up. The fear in his eyes was just too real. I rolled down my window just in case the cop tried something funny. When the cop finally spoked to him the cop said something along the lines of “it’s ok don’t worry.” The dang light turned green and i had to go but i kept a watch on him as i drove away. He quietly picked up his flowers and moved away from the exit. I was crying like a baby on my way to school. Here this person was of the same race and age as me trying to sell flowers to get by and there i was complaining about having to study😔 If that wasn’t a sign from above then i don’t know what it was. I’ve been so blessed to be able to pursue a career that will allow me to advocate for those who have been marginalized, beaten, and forgotten by this society. I got the message loud and clear." -Instagram
