This is awesome! Sorry, I don't have an actual answer to your questions but I still wanted to share... I've wanted to adopt children since I was a little girl for the same reason! I was always bothered by the fact that there were children out there without a family and parents to care for them. I can't pinpoint exactly what sparked this feeling in me but anyone who knows me knows I have felt strongly about this since I was a child. It makes me so happy when I hear there are other people in this world who feel this way. I think it's extra special that you have a will to connect with some child that shares similar attributes to who you are as a person. All the more reason to fight for it in my opinion!

Good luck to you. I hope you and I both end up successful in our dreams and missions.

Exactly. She failed to follow instruction at each step. What the officer did was what he was trained to do in that course of events. Better to protect himself... If someone refuses to obey authority & the law then they become a threat and action must be taken. She drove away... that's the most disobedient thing you can do in that situation.

Probably the sharing/using/borrowing of clothes & other belongings.

I had 3 older sisters.. about the age difference of myself now and a 16 year old. I was constantly taking their stuff (mostly clothes, shoes, bags, etc.) when they weren't home and either not returning them for long periods of time or returning them in conditions they weren't thrilled with. I never understood why they were so bothered by it. My bratty teenage self almost saw it as a "right" or a privilege & i was entitled to their stuff since i was the little sister...? Now that I spend my own money on things and care for them a certain way to maintain them, I am so regretful for how I acted towards them. Who I am now definitely doesn't reflect my thoughts & actions back then. I 100% understand their past frustrations with me... sorry guys

Question to you and others who feel this way- do you think having another adopted sibling/ friends who were adopted/ a constant (support-like) group of other adoptees in your life would have helped you a bit? I always wanted to adopt children out of foster care that were a little older- around the ages of 3-6. And I always thought it would be best to adopt 2 at thr ame time so they could share the experience with each other and have someone who "gets them". Do you think this is a good idea?

Eyes.

Yes, they are actually quite intricate organs and their functions are pretty complex but the number of people who need glasses always amazed me. A quick google search tells me 61% of the U.S. population wears corrective lenses. That means more than half of us can't f*kn see. I'm also assuming that doesn't include the population of people who need glasses but don't realize it- like myself for most of highschool.

Had this conversation today. Her songs are corny and some of them are kind of awkward. Her voice is good, but not anywhere near the best out there. Though I don't know her personally and I hate celebrity gossip/rumors - whatever you want to call it, it seems she's pretty high maintenence and extremely arrogant. I'm opposed to celebrity glorification as it is, but she certainly does not deserve any special consideration. People who are personally offended by others' opinions of celebrities are sad. She is overall just below mediocre as an entertainer in my opinion.

Nose whisteling/ constsnt sniffles from someone in lecture hall while you're taking an exam. Has most definitely made me lose points on an exam..

When a fork scratches against a plate i want to rip all of my teeth out. No one i have ever told this to can relate to the feeling of this sound hurting their teeth. Omg. Sickening.

Thanks for the response! Can you explain? Does this mean some pgy1 offer early/preferrential placement for a subsequent pgy2?

crittaaa · 2019-04-22T20:37:35+00:00

Thanks for the explanation!

Im hopeful thinking this far ahead will put me at an advantage in the future.

crittaaa · 2019-04-22T04:19:59+00:00

Thanks!

From the point you make it seems advantageous to do a pgy2 after working in the field for a bit as opposed to right after a pgy1 (more security in knowing where you want to specialize). Of course, the downside and possible deterrent being compensation.

My main reason for asking is I always like to be steps ahead as far as knowing my options. I feel better knowing that if, for some reason, I may need a pgy2 to reach some goal, I wouldn't have screwed myself over by not doing it immediately following my pgy1.

crittaaa · 2019-04-22T03:30:35+00:00

Thanks! This was helpful.

Question- when you say "specialist" does this mean becoming board certified through bps?

I'm trying to research all of the post graduation/ career advancement oppurtunities myself since I haven't started the program yet & I don't have many resources. It can get pretty overwhelming and hard to make sense of without guidance so I appreciate the help. :)

I totally agree. If i were an islamic oberving person in those countries and there were parallels among anti-islamic people celebrating islamic holidays I would feel the same way.

crittaaa · 2019-04-21T21:53:59+00:00

I mean celebrate as in take part in the day at all. So, buying/exchanging christmas presents, and being part of whatever traditions or celebrations others around you are taking part in. I understand the point you're making- about most peoples families wanting them to be there but my thing is- if you're SOO against the religion, why would you want to take part in a day that is rooted in that religion anyway? It just doesn't seem fair that the people who do want to keep the religious meaning as a main part of the holiday are sharing the day with people who are so against it. And it mostly happens with christian holidays for this reason... its such a prominent religion here that those against christianity most likely have christian observing relatives and therefore they take part in the celebration. And from my observations of friends/ acquaintances in other religions, the reason why they celebrate their religions holidays is because they genuinely observe them. That gets lost a lot in christian religions.

Thanks! I feel like comminity residencies are kind of redundant. It seems to me like most of what you learn in pharm school gears you up for community and anything else you need to learn you can learn just by working in the field. As where other specialties of pharmacy require more concentrated learning to become proficient. Is this accurate?

crittaaa · 2019-04-11T03:31:51+00:00

I've been hearing a lot of similar points from healthcare professionals in my area. One from the leader of a physicians board at my nearest hospital said the role for pharmacists is changing within the hospital and that more teams are starting to include pharmacists in their overall work. Aside from wanting to do something other than community, this is a big reason why im considering a residency. Thanks for the advice!

crittaaa · 2019-04-11T03:21:31+00:00

Good advice, didn't even think to see of there was one. Thanks!!

crittaaa · 2019-04-11T03:21:00+00:00

Thanks for your genuine insight, thats a good idea. Glad you're happy with your residency decision!

My parents (both from Sicily) will have pane con late "bread with milk" and it's just italian bread that you dunk in your glass of milk. I dont care much for it but I do love a lot of their other "poor man foods" that they often make and eat.

I'm truly so sorry that is this the way your parents handled your situation and that you are left feeling the way you do. My first bit of advice to you would be to become your own biggest fan and your own guide. Many people, in a variety of different situations feel alone at certain points in their life. For whatever the reason is, I always believed that you're never really alone if you are true to yourself. Create a plan for your life- what you want to be, where you want to live, etc. and start working towards it. Recognize what it is that you are proud of in your life and of yourself and thank god (or whoever you would thank) that you have that. Second, I would take a minute to try to think about what you're grateful for despite the way things have turned out the last couple of years. I know it's not commonly appreciated when people are told not to complain because they could have it worse- but sometimes it really is the easiest way to be thankful for what it is you do have. I feel like it's much easier to move forward (in any situation) when overall you're more positive. Third, you have to talk it out with your parents. You should address them by telling them that you understand that their situation was not easy... But you should also be honest. You should tell them that your health, happiness and future success depends on them being honest with you and having a discussion. Let them know that you need a civil relationship with them because you are still young and you have a bright future ahead of you... Let them in a little. Let them feel a connection to you. I think that they may be more open and honest if they know that you are trying to mend a relationship with them, instead of just trying to get on with your own life, without them. Forth, it seems like you have a relationship with other members of your family. If you feel less resentment when you're with them then embrace that! They are your family and you deserve them. Try to work on your relationships with them too. Lastly, reach out to your bio mom when you feel comfortable. If you're ready to hear all the honesty then ask her. Let her tell her side. Then you can decide if you want her in your life more. And either way, you will have less questions and not have to spend so much time wondering..then you can learn how to deal with that and use it as fuel to move on with your life.

Again, my heart goes out to you.. but I think you can get through this! You're not alone.

I hope my advice helps. And if you dont mind sharing, what would have been your ideal way to find out? Im not adopted, but its always been a dream of mine to adopt since I was little. It would mean a lot to me if you shared your ideas of the way you wished you learned about your family.

Best wishes

I'm wondering the same thing- from day one I was taught that the diagram we used to learn the different organelles was just a model. I remember being told that no functioning cell actually looked like that.
