It's wild to think it's already been 10 months at Corewell Health, and by February it'll be a full year. For someone navigating everything as an international student, that really does feel like a big, hard-earned milestone. This place has pushed me, taught me, and given me a sense of stability I used to only hope for. And in the middle of all that, I'm also wrapping up my third poetry book - trying to balance the analyst in me with the poet in me, letting both sides grow at their own pace.
