In this brief personal monologue, the speaker reflects on the discouraging remarks she received about becoming a doctor and how she chose to dismiss them, emphasizing that such negativity reflects the speaker rather than herself. She credits a few supportive individuals in her life for encouraging her ambitions. The narrative continues with her meeting her husband in college, marrying early, and having three children in quick succession. She notes that she began medical school when her children were five years, three years, and ten months old, highlighting the challenge of balancing early parenthood with a demanding professional path.

So if someone said, you can't be a doctor, and I had plenty of those, um, then I'm like, why? I don't understand that, that, that language doesn't compute. Move on. And so I think if you have it like that, that understand when people say those things to you, that you just let them go. It's more on them, nothing to do with you. And luckily I had a few people in my life who were very supportive of my dreams. And, um, when I got to college, I met my husband. So we got married early. We had 3 kids very quickly. And so I actually started medical school when they were 5, 3, and 10 months old.
