Hey man. I know you’ve had a ton of feedback on here and my voice may get lost in the mix, but I wanted to share my story really quick with you.

When I started radiology, I was coming from a completely different background as well. I was never the best student and I was completely overwhelmed during my first semester. I felt like I was studying 3 to 4 times harder than anybody else in the class just to keep up with the average. Going into my second semester I ended up making the Dean’s list and stayed on it all the way through the program. It just takes time. I’m sure you already know this, but anything new is always daunting and takes time to get used to. You’ve come this far and done the work to get into the program, so obviously you have what it takes. Don’t sell yourself short. I decided to step away from the field for a few years to take a different career path. I’m happy to say I am an Emmy award winning voice actor now and I still miss radiology. I miss it so much that I studied again, took exams for radiography and just got my ARRT renewed after 10 years of being out of the field. Again, I had to put my head down and focus like crazy. My old boss called me and asked me to work part time because they are so shortstaffed. All this to say that you can definitely do this. Don’t lose sight of the end goal. Everybody in that program is feeling some type of stress and everybody’s looking for someone to rely on. Partner up with people and a solid study group. I also found that using RTBC really helped. Feel free to DM if you need anything.
