A delayed graduation led to a deeper spiritual connection with God than a faster path to medicine would have. The speaker spent longer in school than typical and believes the extended journey created a more meaningful yearning for faith than a conventional gratitude ever could.
I always think like, oh, if I would have graduated on time, because now I'm graduating in May and it's been a journey. Like, I've been in school for so long, so I always think like, if I never went through the journey that I went through, like, would I want this relationship with God? Like, would I be yearning? And like, would I be in the place that I am now? Like, oh, what if I would have graduated school, went to medical school, and then like would have been a doctor and been like, oh yeah, thank you Jesus, that's it? This is so good. And I feel like I am where I I need to be because if I wouldn't, it's like, I don't know what my relationship with God would look like.
