About Me

Balance a goal every human should strive for. Last week I was
confronted with a revelation. As an international student, than
resident I've learned to step back, and be quiet. It's hard to be
assertive in a foreign land. The hardest is to know how soft/hard
should I present my voice, so in doubt I stayed quiet, and invisible.

It worked for a while, but not long enough. It surfaced in
supervision, was exposed on a research meeting. Scary and empowering
at the same time. I'm looking forward to see where this new assertive
me.
