A good friend told me a story of a guy who was afraid of heights. He decided to climb a mountain to conquer his fear and brought along a friend to help him through this journey. The guy did climb a mountain, and he did make it to the summit, but a blizzard hit while he and his friend were up there. Huddled in the tent together, the friend asked the guy who had been afraid of heights, "Are you happy right now?" The guy answered, "No, but I'm still glad that I climbed the mountain."
Medical school is my mountain. If a friend were to ask me sometime during the next four years if I'm happy, there's a very good chance that I'll answer "No." Not right in this moment, but this is where I want to be.
