“failure is not a permanent condition”
Yes!!
I'm 28 and have a goal to one day become a doctor. I've had my doubts an contemplate if I'm too old or not smart enough and I've also brought the subject up about becoming a doctor and people would say "you gotta be a genius to become that" so I shut it down real quick. Right now I'm studying to hopefully one day get into med school and have not told a single soul about my goal.. Watching videos like yours gave me hope never to give up and watching this video is a great inspiration because that Grit that you are talking about is what I feel when I think about my future goal. Now, I don't want to say "dream" because dreams dissappear so my goal is set and waiting to be reached. Thank you for this video because now I know what that feeling that burns within me. Oh, an greetings all the way from New Zealand :)
Colorful Days
Hi,
Thanks for the question. Wow! All the way from New Zealand! I get this question a lot. It's kind of hard to answer this question completely without knowing your story (family life, previous life experiences, future goals, etc) but here are my thoughts: You will be in your career working as a physician for 20-30+ years and I know the road to get to that point is arduous and lengthy, but I do believe it's worth it. You have to ask yourself, "Am I willing to sacrifice family and personal time, sacrifice a minimum of 8-10 years of my life and sacrifice financially to become a doctor?" And if that answer is yes, I say go for it. The average age in my medical school class was roughly 30 years old (oldest being 42 and youngest 23) and I currently work with 2 orthopedic surgeons who are 80+ years old. They have been a doctor for longer than I have been born. So, starting off medical school at (to overestimate it) 40 years old, you will be done around 50 years old and still can work 20 years and retire at 70.

I hope this helps. Good luck! Remember if medicine is something you really want to do, then NEVER give up.
Also, I just published a book about my path to medicine called "Overcoming the Odds" which I talk about my time growing up in the rough streets of Louisiana, my time as a military medic serving in Iraq, and applying to medical school then residency. I give a lot of advice after each chapter. You should definitely check it out before you start med school. It's at: www.amazon.com/author/antoniowebbmd

Colorful Days I know I don't know you but I just want to offer you encouraging words. First off, you are not definitely not old, in fact you are far from it. When it comes to what you want in life, you are never too old. I wanted to become a doctor but without getting to lengthy about the story, I let myself get in the way and academic advisors scare me. I didn't think I was smart enough and I struggled with math classes in high school and math and science classes in college. I didn't have the GPA and but what made it worse for me is that I lacked the confidence which to me hurt me the most. I didn't think I could make it and so many other things I was thinking about it that it truly clouded my judgement. There wasn't TH-cam back in the days when I was coming up so I didn't have this type of encouragement. Even if there was TH-cam, I don't how I would have made it use of it because I was so young and I truly didn't experience life. With all that being said, you are doing right by fulfilling your dreams. Not everybody has to know your plans because not only is it anybody's business, but you don't know who is for you and who is not. There are also some people who mean well but will discourage you all the same. If there is someone whom you trust and whom you hold dear to you and you know they will speak to you love and truth and will be encouraging, them by all means, p,ease do tell them because we all need somebody at the sidelines cheering us on! Life is short and the one thing I know is you do not want to live your life in regret. If God ( I don't know your faith but pls forgive me) has given you the ability to walk, talk, hear, think, learn, see, and comprehend, then you are blessed and able to use those gifts and go after your calling. When everything is said and done, at least you can you tried and that is something nobody can take from you.
Colorful Days Good luck man, there are countelss good people who need your help. Keep pushing.
I'm 30 years old and my mcat is in three days. you will make it.
This is so true! & has become even clearer now that I'm in my 2nd year of med school.
White Coat Chronicles you make great videos as well!
White coat how is it like in medical school I'm also an average student
First generation college graduate. Struggling to get into medical school. It takes an emotional toll to say the least. Everyone expecting things out of you, family members asking when I’ll go back to school. Not understanding that it’s not so straight forward. I don’t have no one for guidance however, I’m glad I found your channel. A true inspiration. Trust. Don’t take this for granted, you are affecting people more than you think.
Did u get in?
Dr. Webb you're absolutely right. That's how it was for me in Corps school in the Navy. My good friend was always getting 98 to 100 on his exams. This brother never really studied. He even told me that he admired how hard I worked because I spent almost my entire time there studying and learning about bedside care and field medicine. My average was 84. When it got to our practical exams I blew it out of the water and then later on when we got with our Marine Corps units I flourished as well. I think that's just how life is in general. There's always going to be those people that get it the first time and are amazing test takers, and then they'll be those individuals that get it after the fourth time, are mediocre test takers, but yet they land great positions and everyone wants them on the team. Thanks for the video

I need someone to talk to. I want to be smart but I'm struggling.
I'm 13 years of age and I was super depressed because I wanted to become a doctor but I knew I wasn't smart enough. As soon as I watched this video I was in tears. This was so inspirational and I thank you! You boosted my confidence.
Thanks for watching! I’m sure you are more than capable of putting in the work to become a doctor and fulfill your dreams- just don’t give up!
Make sure the demotivation doesnt get the best of you! Like me i did mistake
So you have chance you CAN BECOME A DOCTOR DO IT IN 20s

Sister Olivia Rice, keep your eyes on the prize, there are going to be a lot of distractions. The most important thing you can do, is just do.
I’m sorry your dad had passed away
Always believe in yourself and stick to your dream!!
In the wise words of Shia labeuf, “JUST. DO IT! YES YOU CAN!” really helped me out
In tears. This video was so inspirational; thank you for doing videos like this.
I know right.
Karen Bucio lol
You will be okay, beautiful.
Speechless. Wow, i genuinely needed that advice and reminder. Often times I find myself bringing myself down because my courses get too difficult and the studies just accumulate therefore, i lose inspiration in becoming a Doctor. I feel like a partial reason is because I feel like I am losing out in "fun" since friends my age (early 20's) are out having a blast while I am stuck in my room every single day AND weekends to study for hoursss. I am a lot like you in the sense where I have to study 10x harder and read things over 7+ times whereas my classmates or friends dont even look at their notes or study and still pass tests with A's! Honestly, I was feeling extremely discouraged because I felt like if i wasnt smart enough BECAUSE i had to study harder than others. Although you might not read this, I still feel the need to tell you thank you for posting such an inspirational video. Really got me thinking and changed my whole perspective, and most importantly, i regained my inspiration of becoming a physician!
+Evelyn Delgado
Yes, I read all my comments and try to respond to every one when my schedule allows. You are correct that some people just have to work a little harder than others but that's ok. I was the same way and still am even to this day. Keep up the good work. All your hard work and sacrifices will pay off in the end! 😃

Evelyn Delgado I was also feeling that I lacked inspiration but your comment and Dr. Webb's motivational talk recharged my inspiration thank you
Thank you for your transparency! My daughter is beginning her journey. She will be a Freshman this fall at Xavier University Louisiana! I play this for her constantly
I thank God for your transparency! I watch your vids as motivation on my study breaks! I'm a M1 and I can relate bc when I applied to med school, I was referred to a Post Bacc program bc my MCAT score wasn't really competitive. Standardized tests aren't my thing either, but I do work hard and that's all that matters and guarantees success! You're a Surgeon for crying out loud! Lol 👏🏽 I just know that I have to start earlier and study longer for Step 1, despite what the quote on quote cool kids say! I've learned it's okay to have to worker harder than others! God bless!

hey im starting medical school in August and I also did not do well on my mcat, so I plan on studying for the STEP 1 starting year 1 during medical school, do you have any advice on how you integrated step 1 studying into your regular class schedule. if you have time to share some advice my email is jwalkersmedicine@gmail.com. Also, subscribe to my channel. thanks :)
@@JWALKERS which school did you go to? I'm a non-traditional student want to go to med school. I've been out of school for over 12 years, so the MCAT scares me. What study aid did you find useful?

Thank you for this video! really encouraging and motivating.
i'm so relieved and glad you mentioned how you worked as hard as you could, even though others may had put in less effort/time than you did to get good scores. i really relate to this as i've always been the type of student who takes tests slowly, asks dozens of questions, and has to re-read things more than others in order to keep up. especially as a person currently majoring in STEM, it feels so disheartening when some students say they find topics easy and effortless while i may struggle to understand them. thanks for your content!
I'm starting medical school on a full tuition scholarship this fall. I have so many doubts about whether I belong and how I will do, but this video helped so much. One thing I have is perseverence. I have wanted this for 20 years and am finally answering my calling. Thank you for posting this video. It is still reaching and touching hearts 3 years later! 💙
Thank you so much for sharing this Doc, you're truly an inspiration
Thank you so much for being HONEST!!!I really needed to hear this!
Found you channel last night. You’re so inspirational I’ve always felt that I couldn’t become a doctor because I wasn’t ranked at the top of my class in high school. You’ve shown me all it takes is hard work and staying with a positive attitude. Please keep making videos wish you the best dude.
Awesome! You CAN do it! Its a long road but worth it in the end! Keep up the good work and let me know if you have any questions along the way!

Thank you for this Dr. Webb! You've helped me more than you know.
So glad I found and subscribed to your channel. Much needed motivation during my first go around at med school applications. Thanks Doc
Thank you for your inspiring video Dr. Webb. I am currently a biology major in university right now and have always wanted to go to med school, but a few years ago when I went to see my pre-health advisor, she told me how my gpa is too low to get into med school and how I would never make it and it just seemed like a constant pattern that people around me were telling me. Even those who didn't even know me at all were saying the same thing and it really broke me down. I started getting depressed and my anxiety got worse. I started doing worse in my classes and I lost a lot of self-motivation, grit and self-confidence that I can actually make my dream to be a doctor come true, but now, once I took the pressure off of myself and got back the self-confidence that I could actually make this happen for myself, I felt like all that grit came back to me and I've been getting better grades in my classes and many social life has also improved tremendously. I've also talked to my friends who said they're struggling with the same things. I definitely agree that talent will only get a person so far. It's grit that will take you all the way to the end. I am almost done with university and will be graduating next semester. I am planning to take a gap year and take the mcat as well as apply to my local med school's post bacc. program. keep it up and thank you for inspiring us students who will be future doctors someday very soon along with you. Thanks again.
Dr. Webb, you cannot imagine how me stumbling on this video today has raised me out of a decade long slump. From the very bottom of my heart, thank you.
I have wanted to become a doctor since middle school (late bloomer compared to many). I started out as a pre-med major after high school (wanted to be a psychiatrist) but dropped out due to changing life situations. I'm currently working in the IT field which I do not enjoy. In the past month or 2, I'm seriously considering (at 38 yrs old), going back to school to become a clinical pathologist. After years of thinking that it's too late and that I don't have what it takes, I feel I need to try. This is the one thing I've felt so passionate about but never gave it a full chance to manifest. I feel that this video was the last lost piece of a puzzle I've been trying to put together for a very long time.
Thank you Dr.Webb🙏. I needed to hear this. This past semester was the worst that I have done. All “F’s” My advisor and financial aid told me to pick another major because they thought it was too hard for me and took me off financial aid. I really want to become an anesthesiologist this is a wake up call for me to work harder than I ever have before.
Tay Tay keep persevering 💪🏾💪🏾
I believe in you...you got this 💃💖🤓🏆🥇🏅🎁
this is inspiring. I'm a new lawyer, but I love watching these medical school/doctor videos lol

You are very welcome! Keep up the good work!
I needed to hear this message Dr. Webb. Thank you! 😇🙏🏾❤️
man. I finished mindset by Carol Dweck this summer. I finish my BSN program this december. I was also thinking about going back to take my pre-reqs for med school. It took a change in mindset to get this far but I feel I can accomplish more. you are an example of the growth mindset, an inspiration.
Awesome! You CAN do it! Its a long road but worth it in the end! Keep up the good work and let me know if you have any questions along the way!

Thank you! Appreciate that!
This video gave me goosebumps. Great video and motivation!
Doctor Webb, I couldn't agree more with what you said. I heard the same thing growing up as an average student and all it did was push me more to succeed. Although, after my first and second semesters of college I didn't do very well. In fact, I nearly was kicked out of college, so my family decided to invest in a tutor and that changed my life. If it wasn't for that tutor I would have never discovered my problem, which was how I was studying the material. After a month or two, my test scores completely changed, as well as my GPA which was 2.1 at the start and within a year shot up to 3.3.
The data he is talking about in the beginning is from the book GRIT by Angela Duckworth. You're Welcome Y'all.
Honestly, you are by far the most inspiring person on TH-cam! This video really hit me hard. I keep telling myself “I am a hard worker”. I passed my GCSEs with flying colours, however, in England, we have to do well in our AS (Year 12) to be able to continue studying the subject at A2 (year 13) also, you apply to university before you get your final A2 grades, so basically you apply with ‘predicted grades’ depending on what you got in year 12. I hope I’ve made sense there, anyway, so after failing my maths in year 12, I remember my maths teacher telling me it was ridiculous to even attempt applying to medical school, (THIS WAS THE FIRST LESSON BACK AFTER THE SUMMER!) he told me ‘no-one will ever look at you, or your application, they’ll just glance at your grades and chuck your application in the bin, medicine is not for you’. For the remainder of that lesson, I felt like the dumbest thing alive. I quit maths the next day. It doesn’t help that my other teachers said the same thing. I sat my A2 year and passed. Only marginally. I was so disappointed, I tried so hard. It wouldn’t get me to medical school in the UK, so I thought I would apply to study abroad. Even though I did get in, I still feel like I don’t deserve my place, like I’m not good enough. Your video has given me hope. I will succeed. I do deserve my place and I will try my best to get myself to the top!
Thanks, for sharing your personal experience. This video was very encouraging and inspirational!!!

@@antoniowebbmd thanks
Thank you so much for this. For a long time iv'e always allowed my fear to get in the way of what i was passionate for and what career i wanted to pursue thinking i'm nowhere near smart enough.
Wow! I loved this video and your words were so inspiring!! THANKS!
I am a Nurse and would have loved to have been a Dr, but having dyslexia and ADHD I was under the impression that my grades at school reflected my intelligence. I never thought it would be possible to make it through medical school. The one thing I do have due to my learning problems at school, did in fact help to produce the fire and grit inside of me, I needed it to get through, I needed to work harder and put in more effort. The topic medicine is something that fascinates me, there is not a day goes by that I am not learning something new about medicine, and I graduated 25 years ago and it still fascinated me. Nothing was going to stop me from being a nurse either! Grit is such a strength to have. You do not give up. Nothing sways you from your path once you are on it. Well said Dr xx
Thank you for that pep talk on “grit”.
Powerful message Dr Webb, thank you for this. I need to forward this to others! Thank you.

Thanks so much, this video is God sent to me. I was board and sleepy while studing in the library, but this video actual helped in motivating me. Its my first year in medical school, I have grit but I need it to be more.
Great motivational video! thanks for this bro
Awesome message Dr. Webb. You are very inspiring.
Thank you so much for these motivating words sir. This talk has helped me so much as I am in my 1st year med school with the same motivation as you do.
Thanks for making this video💕
I’m 20 and decided to follow my dreams of being a doctor because I’ve had a cerebral shunt since birth and going to the hospital monthly back then, now it’s a yearly appointment it really opened my eyes that I want to save others lives just like my doctor saved mine I wouldn’t be here if he hadn’t found the cause on time
This was deep man! I appreciate you!
Thank you so much for this video. I really needed to hear this. You made my day. God bless.
Going back to read that chapter again and again today and tomorrow.
Very inspirational thank you so much! 🙏
OMG thank you so much I’m new to your channel. I always wanted to become a doctor but I didn’t feel I was cut out for it or smart enough. I’m struggling in college now but I have yet to give up. Thank you so much for giving me hope that I will be okay and I just have to keep getting back up no matter how many times I fall down. Thank you for all your advice and congrats to you and all your success! Your story is truly inspirational 😊

I am about to start dental school and now that I got in, I’ve never considered myself smart or intelligent but that I’ve put a lot of effort considering where I come from. I hope to God I have what it takes to keep up. I don’t come from an educated or affluent family (Hispanic immigrant parents) however I’m doing this for my family, for the culture and for the people. I know that if I’ve worked this hard to get in and I can work even harder to get out. It’s about the effort and grit people! Y’all have what it takes!!
I def agree. Good points!! 💯

This is the second video of yours that I have watched, it’s very inspiring, I was looking into become a nurse, doctor is something I would love to become, I’m not going to sugar coat it, in high school I was not a good student I dropped out and ended up getting my GED, I learn different than others, I really believe if you put your mind I to something and you grind you can achieve whatever is in front of you, watching you has made that mindset a lot easier
Sara, thanks for the kind words. You can do it! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for your videos.
I needed this today. Thank you!
No prob! Thanks for watching!
I did attend the school for a couple of years/ did not have enough money to complete the curriculum----happy you were able to complete the program
It's so true! Becoming a doctor has nothing to do with being smart. As long as you have common sense and compassion, you got the foundation. Being a doctor is 80% hard work and effort. That is where all the studying comes in. Studying brings knowledge but you don't have to be smart to begin with.
hello dude Sounds like mental stamina and a solid determination to grind through the process to the very end is what propelled the students or the apprentices to the finish line.
Keep up the Inspiration Dr Webb. Excellent videos.
Thanks so much for putting this out there.

Determination and consistency!!!!!!!
Yes!
I agree. I am a nurse and have worked with many doctors that made me scratch my head.
I'm not in med school but I have been in a teacher's program since 1/19 and it's now 4/20 (COVID era). I have gone through homelessness twice within this period but I have completed 90% of the program. I plan to take my content test as soon a the state opens up the testing centers. I am exhausted but I haven't lost my dream. I hope this is GRIT. I plan to teach Social Studies in Texas. Wish me luck. Go GRIT!
Thank you so much!
I really needed this, Sir. I am currently torn between becoming a cardiologist or a nurse practitioner. Simply because of the years involved in becoming a cardiologist and that I always have to work twice as hard as A-students to get an A. I kind of think I'm not smart enough to practice cardiology. But this has reshaped that mentality. Blessings, Sir.
Good stuff! Keep up the good work!
thank you very much. I feel like I learn so much and get inspired from all of your videos

Thank you Dr. Webb! this video was very encouraging. As someone who is trying to get into med school, I've felt depressed on the fact that I don't have stellar grades like everyone else. Just like you, I'm not good at taking standardized exams. But with persistance on my end, I'm almost near the end my poct-bacc master program this fall.
