Mer had made it threw school, it had been rough, she had, had many different boy problems but she had made it, no matter what anyone said, her mom, her friends, it didn't matter all of the "you are way to dedicated," "you do homework on weekends? Why? You need to get a life" and her traditional answer "I have a dream, I need to achieve it, no matter how I do it, I need to have this dream become a reality."
But no matter what she did, it was always the same thing; no one ever got it and would just laugh at her "why do you need to work so hard? Your mom is a famous surgeon, you'll have it easy" that statement always pissed her off, always but she had come up with a standard answer to that also, "yeah she is a famous surgeon, which means I have to work my ass off 10 times harder than anyone else here" they would all kind of laugh at that too, she had learned how to live with it, forget about it, all of this would soon be over and she would finally start her career, the career she always dreamed about...a surgeon
the day mer graduated from med school, was the day she finally felt as if she had accomplished something that no one thought she would, she was even more excited to start her internship at Seattle grace hospital, she had lived in Seattle until she was about six, and then her and her mom had moved, she was excited to go back.
All of this, and more was running threw Mer's mind as she was boarding a plane to Seattle 2 weeks after gradation from med school.
Mer: (thinking) well, it's now or never, and I am nervous, but you know what? Who cares, I'm finally making my dreams a reality. What would missy say if she knew this now? Probably "wow didn't think you do it" that or "wow, your not married yet I thought that one for sure would have caved before and you would have at least 3 kids" obviously she doesn't know me to well
mer boarded the plane and started a new life, a life no one thought she could do, and she went against the odds, and proved every single one of them wrong.
