date. Furthermore, running around Wrigleyville during a
Cubs game with one of my best friends when he found out
he passed boards will be a cherished memory I will never
forget.
Two days after the results were officially released, I finally
mustered up the nerve to confirm my own destiny. I found
out I passed NBPME Part I in a hotel lobby surrounded by
my family the morning after my sister's wedding and again
every day for the next two weeks to confirm that the words
" passed " were still there.
" Are you sure you want to check right now? " my family
asked as I opened up my laptop and connected to hotel
Wi-Fi. I was certain they needed to be present for one of
the most important milestones of my young career. Hands
trembling, I ventured to my email, took a deep breath, and
clicked on the file that held my fate. " I passed! " I exclaimed,
my family embracing me in a gigantic hug. They have been
just as invested in this process since my days as a young premedical
student twelve years ago.
Reflecting on the past four months, I can adamantly state
that, thus far, there is no greater feeling as a podiatric
medical student than the realization that the culmination
of years of persistence, dedication, and hard work in
preparation for this exam has indeed paid off.
