Bucket List: Brynne Chandler

As an undergraduate student, my most obvious goal is to maintain good grades and understand my lessons. As simple as that sounds, I’m struggling now, so I shudder to imagine how much worse it’ll be later this semester. My main academic goal is to graduate medical school with honors, but everything between is a smaller goal. 


My current personal goal is to make new friends while I’m here and create experiences I can remember fondly.  My sister’s motto is ‘do it for the memories,’ and I think I will adopt the same mentality. While I am ultimately here to learn and move on to my end goal, I would also like to enjoy my time here as well.
 

Of course, I do have the loftier goals that most people do. I want to find someone I love, get married, and maybe (probably not) have children. These goals are far harder to pack into a period because they can happen spontaneously at any moment or even not at all. I can hope and pray that these things do happen to me and that I can eventually get to that point in my life. 


My ultimate life goal is to help as many people as possible once I finally become a fully-fledged doctor while maintaining a personal life. It’s typically hard for medical doctors to have both, and though the goal may be hard to reach, I still really hope to achieve it. I want to be good at my job and maintaining my family. But of course, only time will tell!
