2024✨ (read caption!)

Happy new year✨⁣
⁣
In my early 20’s when I started preparing to apply to dental school I remember dreading the feeling of “putting my life on hold.” I was young, recently graduated from college, and all of my friends were off starting their lives: taking trips to Europe; buying new cars; working and making money.⁣
⁣
Then an unexpected blessing happened. I didn’t get into dental school the first time. And my fear of missing out turned into a longing for the privilege and chance to become a dentist. By the time I started dental school at 25 years old, I was SO ready to dedicate my life to the pursuit of something bigger.⁣
⁣
It was 4 years of what others may have seen as putting my life on hold. 4 years of sacrifice, 4 years of stress and exams, 4 years of no income, 4 years of sleepless nights. But it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life, and my life wasn’t on hold, it was just getting started.⁣
⁣
I often think about how if I had started dental school at any other time, or gone to another institution, I would have never met my husband! Even though we don’t always understand it, God’s timing is perfect 🤍⁣
