DR. IGNACIO'S PRESENTATION

Dr. Ignacio's speech made me really understand that if one has the determination, they will be able to achieve their goals in life. It doesn't matter what others may say or how difficult it may seem, but as long as you strive, goals can be acheived. I think the most important lesson learned from her speech is to jump on every opportunity you get. In her case, she went into medical school not even knowing what orthopedic surgery was about. However, she kept focus and studied hard. Had she not done this, she might have not gotten the "match." When Dr. Ignacio talked about medical school, it made me think twice about whether or not I would want to have a profession in the medical field. After hearing about the hazing and sometimes sleepless days, I'm not too sure if I would like to experience that sort of thing haha. I'm glad I went to her presentation! :)
