Why I Refused to Settle...........................

 Hey everyone!

It’s so surreal to say this, but I only have 3 months and 2 weeks left before I move and start medical school!!! 🤯 That still doesn’t feel real. I started this blog almost four years ago, and now here I am, officially starting medical school in 2026.

If you have a dream or a goal, never give up. I’ve always dreamed of becoming a physician. I initially went into teaching because it was an easier career to start—I was able to work right away and begin making money, and for a while I thought that was “it.” But I could never get medicine out of my mind or my heart, lol.

My advice to anyone is this: never settle—in any aspect of life. You’ll never truly be satisfied if you do. There will always be that “what if?” lingering in the back of your mind. That’s also one of the reasons I’m glad I didn’t end up going the CAA route. It would’ve been another version of settling, just like when I became a teacher. I’ve always wanted to be a surgeon. Imagine me working in the OR as a CAA, watching the surgeon every day do the exact job I’ve always wanted to do… yeah, that definitely wouldn’t have sat well with me 😂 Anyone who knows me understands why.

I’ll try to post on here more often, but I’ll be busy packing, moving, and finding an apartment (OMG, I’m finally moving into my own place!!!!). The sacrifices I’ve made over the past five years are finally coming to an end. Thank God for deliverance.

Bye y’all!!! See you in February 💕

Happy NEW YEAR!!!!!

Happy New Year, everyone—welcome to 2026! 🎉

I’m officially back to work today after two full weeks off, and when I say I rested… I rested. I stayed in bed, did absolutely nothing, and it felt amazing.

Now it’s time to jump back into the spring semester. This term, I’ll be working at the middle school, supporting one HH student, and teaching four classes at the college. Compared to my usual packed schedule, this is pretty light—and I’m grateful for that because I have less than four months before I move.

That means packing up a house, putting things into storage, buying plane tickets,  all while preparing to start medical school. It still feels surreal to say that out loud. After an eight-year gap, this is finally the year I step away from the field of education and begin this next chapter.

Wow.

I’m excited, nervous, and incredibly grateful—and I’ll be taking you all along on this journey with me. In just four short years, I’ll be able to call myself Dr. Ginny Cassandra.

Alright, bye for now! I’ll try to post here at least once a month. 💕
