dans les nuages

I don’t remember many of my dreams, so I’m going to interpret this as my hopes, dreams, goals, etc.

I dream of becoming a doctor who will be able to lessen the disparities gap in healthcare. Sometimes I dream about becoming a urologist and performing surgeries and working in a clinic, and sometimes I dream about becoming a pediatrician and working with kids for the rest of my life. There are times when I think I want to practice medicine for a few years and go into health policy and affect change around the nation, but I don’t know if I could handle the absence of people and the tangible effect meeting with patients has.

I dream of living in a suburban home with the 2.5 children and a loving husband I will meet eventually. I dream of becoming a mom, and watching my kids grow up and become productive members of society who are constantly growing in their passion for God and for God’s vision for them.  

Short-term aspirations:

I want to be the RA that residents in the future remember and speak highly of. As Alex Sheen said during our RA class, we do this because we like people and we want to help them succeed. I dream of being the RA who knows her residents and who helps her residents in tangible and unique ways. 

Right now, I’m dreaming of eating because I’m REALLY HUNGRY. cue stomach growl and glares from the other people in the library.

I hope that I’ll be a good small group leader, and I hope that no matter the number of small groupees that God will facilitate the formation of a beautiful and open sisterhood. 

I dream of helping my tutees A’s in their courses, even the adorable kindergartner who is only learning her ABC’s. 

I dream about where I’m going to be next summer. Maybe I’ll stay in North Carolina, maybe go back home, maybe go to DC or NY, only God knows where He wants to carry me.
