                  A Distant Dream Realized – A First Person Account
                  
                  My name is Julian Trivino and since high school I wanted to pursue medicine. My interest
                     stems from a love for the sciences and a desire to be a source of comfort and reassurance
                     to those in need during their most trying times. I have always wanted a profession
                     where I could look back at the end of my career and ask myself, ‘did I leave a footprint
                     in someone’s heart, did I make a difference in the world’?
                  
                  As physicians, we touch lives everyday. Not just the lives of those we treat, but
                     the lives of their loved ones as they are also impacted by our actions. In medicine,
                     I have found a job where if happiness and self-fulfillment were currency, I would
                     be the richest person alive.
                  
                  Coming from a family where the highest level of education attained by both my father
                     and mother was a high school diploma, becoming a physician many times seemed like
                     a distant dream. Through dedication and believing in my own potential, I converted
                     that dream into a reality. On May 29th of 2015 I become Dr. Julian Trivino - Emergency
                     Medicine resident. I have been selected to the number one residency of my choice,
                     in the location I wished, and with the mentors I hoped for.
                  
                  GA-PCOM not only provided me with an education and opportunity to reach these goals,
                     but a lifetime of friends and mentors whom I will forever consider family. As I continue
                     through my journey, I will proudly wear D.O. after my name as it represents our organization’s
                     dedication to the mental, physical and social well being of our patients and the bond
                     we share as physicians.
