. The road to medical residency is not easy, it comes with many difficulties, and I have been prideful to ask for help. In the past, I have been in a position to help people, but now I need help. 🧵
Halfway into my Hem-Onco rotation, I have met IMGs from different parts of the world 🇵🇰 🇯🇲🇰🇿🇭🇳🇪🇨with the same dream, becoming doctors in USA 🇺🇸. We had faced many struggles but the challenges of today make us stronger.

La barrera más grande para hacer la especialidad en EEUU es económica.
Reconozco que yo pude hacerlo gracias a el apoyo que tuve. Por eso he decidido regalar una beca del 100% para presentar el USMLE STEP 2 a alguien con gran potencial y dificultad económica. Valor $1000 USD
Another milestone accomplished ✨
It was fulfilling to absorb all the wisdom and passion that academia has and glimpse the thriving impulse for

Have you ever struggled to keep up with someone speaking Spanish at a rapid pace? Well, that's nothing compared to the speed at which my mind operates! When I switch between two different languages, it's like a race car zooming down a superhighway at lightning speed! 😂🤣
In the first semester of medical school, I had to repeat two classes; one of my teachers said, “be ready to study hard or return to the kitchen, girl.” the culture of machismo of my country didn’t stop me, I pass all my classes and remain in the top 10% of my class after that🧵
A crazy week, thank you for everyone that reach out to me, for the help and support. I feel stronger to continue this road. Let’s see where the road take me
