Art Description
Since I started medical school, it seems like I haven't had the energy to do a lot of things. One of those is draw. Yet little by little, I realized the importance of making time for myself. Little by little, I finished my portrait of A.T. Still. His life story is a strong reminder of what it means to enter medicine, perhaps now more than ever. His life story is a reminder to keep fighting, keep taking risks, and keep working, little by little, to make the world a better place.
