Hello. I'm new as you can see here. Just wanted to say "hi" and good luck to our future doctors! I will be here for time to time, reasons.
So, how is life?

As long as we have life. Ahhhhh.

Welcome to the PF.

I applaud your desire to go into Medicine. Especially for someone so young, this is a good life goal to set. Have you had a chance to do any volunteer work with patients? Perhaps at a local hospital that uses volunteers for various tasks? Have you had CPR/AED and First Aid training and certification yet? Those are good classes to take early, and to re-certify every 2 years. Have you looked into lifeguarding at your local pools or beaches? That's another great way to get more medical training and experience. :-)
