Tomball German Christmas Festival 2018

Everybody had a blast at the Tomball German Festival.   (December 7-9)  We got off to a rough start with a terrible storm on Friday, but for the rest of the weekend the weather was perfect. I managed the stage for the Telgte Dance Hall and the Warsteiner stage, and performed alongside Das Ist Lustig. I even had time to stroll a little bit. Overall it was busy, fun, and cold. The next festival is in March in Tomball, Texas and I hope to see you there. Check out this video from the festival.

 

Student Diversity Leadership Conference

This year I had the privilege of being accepted to attend the Student Diversity Leadership Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. From November 28 through December 1 over 1600 students participate in discussion groups and listen to speakers like Lisa Ling. This year’s theme was Harmony, Discord, and the Notes in between. This conference has changed me in so many ways. I have gained knowledge and experience which I would not have anywhere else. I now have a new approach to life. It expanded my understanding of compassion, empathy, justice, and acceptance, all of which help me become a better person and a better doctor.
