This morning was a very important morning in my life. Today all of the dental school decisions for every school in the U.S. were sent out. To ease my mind I decided to get an early morning Crossfit workout in at a local gym that I go to from time to time. It definitely took my mind off of it. The workout was so intense that I couldn't think about anything but finishing. Crossfit is notorious for being not only a physical workout, but a mental one as well. On the drive home I was beat, but was met with this gorgeous sunrise that made getting up and getting after it all worthwhile. It was the perfect start to what turned out to be one of the best days of my life.
By the end of today, I received emails and phone calls saying I was accepted to six out of the eight schools I interviewed at, including my number one choice Columbia College of Dental Medicine. Tomorrow I will be sending in my deposit for Columbia to make it official. Although New York City will be a big chance, I think I am up to the challenge. Looking back on my previous endeavors, I realize that I became the best version of myself when I was in the midst of great academic and social challenge. I think Columbia will provide me with both of these types of challenges and I am beyond excited for my move to the big apple.
