Thank you, Dr. Webb. I am a medic in the army and have actually just accepted a slot as a fight medic. Similarly to what you did, I am also going to school. I was a bit disheartened to hear that your medical military background didn't help your med school applications. I will be approximately 30 years old by the time I finish my pre-med degree and finish my military contract. I feel that I'm a bit on the older side of going to medical school, but I'm glad to hear that you stuck through it despite being some years behind your peers. Thank you, again.

PA school is a great route as well! 2-3 years of school and no required residency. only reason I would say to consider med school instead is if you're sure you want to do something like surgery. PA schools love what they call "patient contact experience" so your medic experience would give you a huge advantage. They value it much more highly than med schools because PA have less formal training whereas med school they know you'll be extensively trained. worth looking into!

A bit of a late reply but military applicants have a 61% acceptance rate compared to the national 42%. It will help.

Dr. Webb , your story was so so real and inspiring. I was on my first 15 month deployment in 2003. I was based right behind from you, at LSA Anderson. It was right next the passenger terminal. I just retired, Now I’m doing a career change into medical field as a nurse. It’s weird starting over due to my age and that I’m going to college with my daughter, a future physiologist. In the same sense I feel unstoppable. So don’t stop motivating us. Great video
we live in section 8. very low income. I thank God my daughter won the Parkland magnet engineering program lottery. She's graduating high school w an engineering associates degree

Congratulations Dr. Webb. I am a lifelong Shreveport resident myself. Went to Hillsdale elementary school, on the same stretch of greenwood Rd near the fair grounds, Midway & Fair Park. I'm 43 yr old now, and quit a 20 yr career to go back to school. It's great to hear about a hometown success story. Best of luck to you.

I really respect what you do Dr.
Thanks a ton for this video Dr.Webb, Really lovely story! This story revived the motivation and dream to become a doctor inside me. Thanks a lot! I will try my best to fullfill my dreams.
What an inspiration. I have tears in my eyes when you started talking about your family. You are the most honorable person I have ever seen in my entire life.
Omgee!! I’m from Baton Rouge, LA. You’re such an inspiration. Even though I’m not in a medical program, you inspire me to work harder and study harder to become a Licensed Social Worker. You’re such an amazing inspiration.
A rocket went over your head, landed, and did not explode. A higher power intended for you to be a Doctor and had a plan for you. Stories like these always remind me that no matter what we as humans go through, we have to keep pushing. We have a purpose to make the world a better place with our existence and presence. Thank you for sharing your story; as a person of color who intends to also become a Doctor I am so happy to have stumbled upon your youtube page. It's so good to see people who look like me in the profession.
You are one of the most inspiring individuals I have ever heard. Thank you for sharing.
Simply amazing, thank you for sharing with all of us!
I pray my son keeps his passion. He hasn’t faced much diversity in life but he works as hard as any for his future in medical. God bless you for seeing over every obstacle as a young soldier and staying with the path .

Great Video Dr. Webb. I liked how you mentioned the denial letter and how up to this day you use it as a form of motivation. I wonder if this particular school that denied you now knows how extremely successful you turned out to be!!!!!!!
Much respect for you, above all odds you shined and became successful 👍
You’re such an inspiration! Keep posting these videos

Unbelievably amazing. Truly blessed from above. Really amazing.
You are a rock star to those students, how inspiring. Have you ever contacted one of the programs that did not admit you to medical school. What a mistake they made. Great story, best wishes on your continued journey.
Heck yeah doc! Can’t wait for you to be in Plano! Wondering if possible to one day meet you/shadow you. Thanks for all the videos.
One of the best and most inspiring speeches I have ever come across!!! You inspire me to work damn hard Sir!!! Respect & Salute to your great journey and efforts!!! I want to instill this kind of passion and burning desire in me what you have!!! Thank you for sharing your amazing story sir. I am definitely going to read "Overcoming the Odds" to know the entire story. Thank you once again! Please keep motivating!!! Cheers!!!
You're an inspiration Dr. Webb! Very similar life here. Grew up dirt poor, and many of my peers went to jail. I went into the Army. I did pre med classes at a local community college. The Army was both a blessing and a curse. It took 7 years, and a career change to get my degree. I'm now an RN living a comfortable life, but having gotten that experience I'm now about to get back on that train and start my Med School journey soon. Would be amazing to see you do more outreach lectures to Americas youth; both black and white. Show them how nothing shackles you down or holds you back but you and your own decisions.

But anyway what i find inspiring, your journey was way longer than what I can imagine. Anytime in the future if i feel that Im tired by this career, Ill remember your life story and fight on (albeit ND being different in nature of practice compared to being MD)
