What challenges have you faced in your career, and how did you overcome them? In my pursuit of becoming a physician while in undergrad, I spent a summer at a medical school and was directly told by an advisor, “people like you do not become a physician.”
I overcame that by first anchoring my identity and validation through the lens and love of Christ. Then I continually celebrate & give my unique attributes to the role of a Physician. I created solutions by coloring outside of the lines while changing the face, age, gender and the practice style of medicine as an expert physician.
