Chiropractic school is a long road. As I close in on the end of my 7th quarter, and part one boards, I'm just now beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm right about at the half way point in my schooling here, but I'm nearly into clinic and from there graduation is just around the corner. Not only is it a long road, but it's a tough one too. In the last 20 months I've seen a lot of changes in my life, and I'm sure I will see more in the next two years. Some have been good, some have been bad, and those that are still to come will certainly be the same way. But one thing remains constant, I am here to make a difference for myself and for my family, and that's the only thing that really matters. Life is full of situations that are completely out of our control, so our job is to control the situations that we can and make the best of those. That's what's nice about being here at school. Everything that I do here is within my control. I can choose to study or not to, and my grade will be dependent solely on that choice, not on anything that's outside of my influence. So bring it on! Two more years are going to bring a lot of blessings into my life that I will be grateful for for the rest of my life, so I can handle whatever comes my way.
