((https://journals.lww.com/neurosurgery/fulltext/2024/11000/my_path.1.aspx))
is a reflection on the importance of people over places in shaping a successful and fulfilling [[career]]. Despite early setbacks and personal struggles, the narrator found opportunities and growth through connections with [[mentor]]s and [[collaborator]]s, especially Dr. Dade Lunsford. The journey is not about geographical destinations but about the relationships and support systems that make one’s professional life meaningful. The narrative emphasizes that the real story is one of [[persistence]], [[adaptability]], and, most importantly, finding purpose through [[community]] and [[collaboration]]. It serves as a reminder that [[success]] is often more about the people you work with than the places you work.
