    I’m a chemistry student working on undergrad stuff. I see a lot of similarities between you and I, I also skateboard, guitar, the Will to succeed, etc. often times I question my grind and wonder how I’m going to get through it. But wow, after watching a med student go through their day, I should NOT be complaining anymore! Thanks for giving me a confidence boost! Perspective is key!
