I guess in order to understand somebody's blogs you must first understand the person. My name is Philip Ross I was born in Virginia Beach, VA. It is a miracle by the grace of god that I am even here today. I was born 2 lbs. 2 oz. and two months premature. I was diagnosed with Jaundice, ITP (blood disorder), and an abnormal hole in my ventricular septum. I don't share this for sympathy, but rather testimony for how far along God has brought me in my life. The one thing I love doing is playing soccer. I have played my entire life and played through college. It was in college that my life really took on new meaning. I went in wanting to be an athletic trainer. As I progressed in my first year I excelled in my Anatomy and Physiology courses (thanks ashley!) and fell in love with study science. As I continued, I spent some time with my Uncle back in Virginia Beach who is a Physician's Assistant. From the moment I started shadowing him I knew that this is what I wanted to do. To me there is no greater calling then giving your life away to serve for the betterment of humanity. It is also my greatest desire to serve humanity as a medical missionary one day. I don't know where the lord will lead me, but getting to minister to different people home and abroad brings me joy in thinking about it. For me, medical school is the means to achieving this goal of becoming a physician and a medical missionary one day.
As I thought about starting med school I wanted to find a way to share with everybody what was going on in my life. Therefore, since I will not have as much time to communicate it is my hope that this blog will serve as a way to keep in touch and for everybody to keep up with what is going on in my life. Moreover, I hope that is serves as a helpful tool to anybody and everybody that might be considering the medical professional field and the rigors of what it is to be in a student in medical school. So, please feel free to leave any and all comments and I pray that as you read this blog it will challenge you as I am being challenged in my life as well. Isaiah 26:8
