Maisha: Med School Rejector, Friendship Fosterer, Truster of the Universe

Like many of her friends, Maisha wanted to go to medical school. The first time she got rejected, she didn’t think much of it – it was a practice round. But by the time her second round of applications started getting rejected, she took a different path. Going to grad school, at first, was really difficult – being in an environment that wasn’t good for her, and not knowing anyone had her questioning her decision. But after sticking to her morals and trusting the universe, she switched supervisors, and has now come to the realization that the work she’s currently doing is what she was meant to do – and she’s so excited to keep fostering new friends and networks along the way.
