This video was so fun to film/edit. It has it ALL. Medicine, lifestyle, dancing, family, emotions, milestones. I know you will love it. <3 Pls give it a huge thumbs up if you did! And comment down below your favorite part (or anything so i have something to read/reply to hehe). I love you all so much.

I haven't been able to bring myself to watch your videos in 2 months when I walked away from there ever being possibility of becoming a doctor. Watching your videos made me want to become a doctor but a masters program tore me down so much that I realized I did not have the will to keep moving forward.

With that being said, I am so proud of you, Rachel. You have the courage of not only becoming a doctor but, running your own business as well! I am so excited for this video because it proves that the long nights, the self-doubt, the moments when you felt like you couldn't breathe from this overwhelming fear of failure... its all worth this moment when you prepare for residency 🙌🙌🙌

You're journey is far from over but you're so close to closing this chapter of your life that taught you that you are stronger than what you thought you were. I am so stinking proud of you! Sending all my love and well wishes for the residency apps!

And to all of the future doctors that are struggling rn, you keep going! It'll all be worth it.

I think the hardest thing is not having a dream. I literally don’t have anything in life I want to achieve. It’s discouraging feeling no real passion for anything but seeing you and others like you achieving goals and aspirations make me very happy. Wishing you all the best

I went to the doctor the other day for an allergic reaction, and a med student came in. I loved it, she reminded me of you❤

Literally almost crying watching you all giddy and nervous when submitting your app! LOVE this for you girl

[nylagaston]

I'm currently studying Computer Science and whenever I feel like I don't want to study or work hard I always come watch your videos as inspiration to know that all my hard work will pay off in the future!

Seeing all these huge life changing steps is like watching a sibling grow up in 20 minutes and you being so in touch with your life and emotions is always a good reminder for us to stay in touch with our life experiences. Remember the journey never ends and we always need to know we can make it no matter where we are. Wherever we’re going, we’re going to get there. Stay committed. Stay strong. Stay present and engaged and don’t be afraid to be true to yourself on your path.

OMG, I'm just so happy for you, Rachel! I watch your videos since your channel was just beginning, and it's so amazing to see that you worked hard and now you're living your dreams, like applying for residency!!!! Times go's by so fast, and I'm happy to still being here to see your journey. I'm sure this will be another great chapter of your life, and you'll be an amazing doctor!

Congrats on applying for residency! What a rollercoaster of emotions. I'm not in the medical field whatsoever but wow, I love watching your videos and feeling like I'm going along the journey with you. You have such an artistic eye and your videos feel so genuine. You've definitely inspired me in a lot of ways! Thank you for sharing with us and being so open :)

[griceldaurquidez]

You look so happy and fulfilled!! I recently was in a bad mental space and still recovering from that. Nursing school is no joke but I cannot imagine all you had to go through to be where you are. You will be a great doctor ❤😊

[NourAbiSaleh]

I refrained from watching this vlog until today because I just finished my exams and wanted to enjoy it on my days off 🥰 Loved it, thank you Rachel !

[manuelaceballos]

I cried with you. That feeling is so familiar to me right now after I submitted my application for medical school. Thanks for the encouragement I’ve been here since the start and it’s been so incredible seeing you grow! Thanks for taking us along this amazing journey of yours! ❤

[AlyssaMiro]

Wow, what a wild ride. I started watching when you started med school and here you are now! I wish I followed your journey more closely throughout... But right here, right now, I'm feeling so incredibly proud of the commitment you've made and now it's paying off!! You've got this 💛

[JenRob]

Congrats on applying to residency!! I've been watching since the MCAT retake days and I can't believe you are finally here :) So proud from an internet stranger. Also don't feel like you have to justify the headphone purchase, you have worked so hard and you deserve things that make you happy and life better. You are huge inspiration for me!
