Dream becomes Reality

I'm in my hometown sitting in a coffee shop. It's crowded so I grab my stuff and head to the corner of a couch. I couldn't help but notice a sticker on a labtop that said "A Certain Medical School". I asked are you in medical school? "No" he said but I'm working on my admissions essay right now in hopes to get in. I wished him the best of luck and shared that I recently graduated and would love to help him in any way. He probed and questioned for about half an hour. He said the school that I just graduated from was his dream school. I was humbled.
I went back to my business when two people sat in front of me with MCAT study books. It was surreal. Then yet another young guy started talking about trying to get into medical school after he takes a few classes and working. He said "it's my dream".
I just sat back and was dumbfounded. Can this be real? I remember these exact moments in my life. Studying for the MCAT, approaching med students in coffee shops in hopes of getting a tiny bit closer to reaching my dream. It's real alright and medical school is done.
I sat in a lecture hall on graduation day and heard our speaker tell us..."Most people would trade places with you in a heartbeat." That resonated with me as I remembered how much I had yearned and dreamed about becoming a doctor. Well now it's true it's time and it's real. It's not as glamorous as my imagination had made it but none the less it is a privilege beyond description.
To all: Follow your dreams soon they will no longer be dreams but a reality.
