Cap and gown on, waiting in line for convocation. Nervous, sweating a little, I open the folder to look at the parchment. There it is, in permanent ink below my full name: Doctor of Medicine. The same thought washed over me as it did on the first day of medical school. There must have been some sort of mistake. How on earth did this happen? This is my attempt to recognize humanity in all its grittiness, both my own and that of the people I interact with.

I Feel
A single tear rolled down my cheek. I blinked, wiping it quickly away with my hand flippantly, hoping nobody noticed.
The deepest empathy pouring out of my being in response to the heartache before me.
