Neha Rajpal: "My White Coat Means"

MY WHITE COAT MEANS DOING ORDINARY THINGS EXTRAORDINARILY WELL

How does it feel to swim across a lake when you can barely see the other side?

Ask a medical student. She will tell you that every stroke is a deliberate one. Most of her actions, seemingly ordinary, will fade from her memory when she emerges from the water on the other side. What will remain is the greater feat of conquering the lake. Mastering each stroke along her journey, she strives to transform into someone worthy of her white coat.
