"I chose the PA profession
because I want a family one day, yet I want to be in
medicine. The PA position is flexible and allows me to achieve all of my
goals without loosing the time for family and friends."

Advice to future students: Make sure you use your time wisely. There isn't a lot of time to study since you are in class so much, so it is important to use the time you have as best as possible. And don't stress, it just makes things worse.
