 Hi everyone! I know it’s been a while since I last posted—I’ve just been super busy. I sit for the GRE in a week, and right after that I’ll be submitting my CAA applications for the 2025–2026 cycle. Once everything is officially submitted, I’ll definitely share an update!

On another note, I’ve been hitting some exciting milestones on social media. I recently reached 6,000 followers on TikTok and 1,000 on Instagram! I’m working toward 10,000 followers, which would make me eligible for monetization (meaning I’d actually get paid for my videos that qualify). 🎉 This has been a personal goal of mine for the past three years, so it feels amazing to see my consistency paying off.

If you’re not already following, you can find me at @GinnyCassandra. Who knows—maybe one day this extra income will help me cover expenses, take care of my daughter, or even chip away at those student loans. 🤞 Until next time—bye!! 💕

Feeling Lost......

 

Hi everyone,

I sit for the GRE again in three weeks, and I’m feeling a bit lost about what comes next. I took a practice test a few days ago and only improved by three points from my last score. Honestly, that has me worried—my previous score was pretty average, and I know people with higher scores who still didn’t get in.

Because of that, I’m preparing to apply to a Caribbean medical school as my plan B. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. Moving to a different city is one thing, but relocating to an entirely new country for twenty months—with my six-year-old—feels huge. I just hope I don’t fail.

Hopefully my next post will bring better news. Right now, I’m unsure about my future. What I do know is that I don’t want to keep teaching.

$1.7 Billion Jackpot: A Teacher’s Lottery Daydream

 The Powerball jackpot has hit a jaw-dropping $1.7 billion! The next drawing is tomorrow, and wow… the things I would do if I ever had that kind of money.

In Florida, the lump sum payout after taxes is estimated to be around $500 million. Can you imagine?! People always say winning that much money changes you, but honestly, I don’t think it would change me all that much. I don’t even need all of it — give me $50 million and I’d be set for life, lol.

Of course, the odds are ridiculously slim — about 1 in 229 million. You’re more likely to get struck by lightning than win. But hey, it doesn’t hurt to dream a little, right?

So today’s post is all about what I would do if tomorrow was my lucky day.

First things first: I’d quit my middle school teaching job. (Love my students, but let’s be real.) I’d still keep teaching part-time as a professor, though. I think having some kind of work would keep me grounded and prevent me from going wild with spending.

Next, I’d hire an MCAT tutor and fully dedicate myself to medical school without the stress of working full-time. I’d pay off my car, clear out all my student loans, and put plenty away for Gianny’s future. Of course, I’d also help my parents — paying off my mom’s mortgage would be at the top of the list.

I’d invest wisely, give back through philanthropy, and make sure to donate to causes that matter to me. And yes… I’d definitely splurge a little. A new house, a nanny, a fitness trainer, and maybe even a personal assistant to help keep life organized.

But most importantly, I’d make sure that money lasted — for Gianny’s education, my medical school tuition, and to support us through residency. Financial security, freedom, and a chance to give back — that’s the real dream.

So now I’ll toss the question back to you: What would YOU do if you won the lottery?

End of Month Check-In 🌟

 Hey y’all! August has finally wrapped up, and wow—it feels so good to say that. This month has been a whirlwind of changes and challenges. Between juggling three jobs (yes, three! 😅) and everything else on my plate, it’s been exhausting but also rewarding. My bank account might not be thrilled with August, but hey, I made it through!

On top of work, I’ve been diving into GRE prep. I’m planning to take the exam at the beginning of October, and right after, I’ll be submitting my applications to CAA programs. I know mid-October might feel a little late in the cycle, but luckily, the schools I’m applying to haven’t even started interviews yet. Fingers crossed it all works out! 🤞

Here’s my school list for this cycle:

1. NOVA – Tampa

2. NOVA – Orlando

3. NOVA – Jacksonville

4. NOVA – Fort Lauderdale

5. South University – Orlando (they haven’t even opened applications yet, so I guess I won’t be too late after all!)

Wish me luck as I take this next big step. If things don’t work out this round, I’ll be pivoting to medical school in the Caribbean in May 2026. Either way, the journey continues, and I’m excited to see where it leads.

See y’all in September with more updates! 💙
