The Price I Have To Pay and the Songs I Have To Sing 

The Price I Have To Pay and the Songs I Have To Sing

"If you can get through SPU, you can get through med school. Seriously."

Famous words uttered by one of the most successful alumni produced by pre-med program at Seattle Pacific University. She just finished her MD at Cornell, ranked first or second in her class (my pre-med advisor said with pride), is starting with her radiology residency. She was a biochemistry major and an art minor. She is, her advisor liked to say, a talented watercolorist.

After that cozy roundtable talk at the lobby of the Science Building, I felt empowered. Hey, I can truly do this... right, Lord? But, as always, I need to be truly cognizant of exactly (financially, mentally, physically, emotionally) what I'm getting into.

With that, I am registering for summer classes: 10 short weeks of Anatomy and Physiology (10 credits). SPU offers financial help. I looked at the form I must fill out, and I realize I need to choose what aid I want: work-study or loans or both. I had planned on not working as I wanted to fully focus on my studies. Now, I'm faced with a decision: more loans or more work. Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place. The price I have to pay.
