Title Are You Nobody From Nowhere Going No Place Author Dr. Joyce E. Scott Synopsis Determination? The Race Is Not Always To The Swift? But To Those Who Keep On Running. Biography In 1979, while teaching, I realized that I wanted to become a rural doctor for my home community. From the onset, all I heard from others was "You are too old. You will never make it. You don't have a chance." For the next eight years I worked diligently applying for admission to a medical school while continuing to teach and obtain my B.S.N. as an R.N. Over and over I was turned down. "To make a dream come true, the first requirement is a great capacity to dream: the second is persistence ? a faith in that dream." Finally, in 1988, at the age of thirty eight I was accepted into medical school. Once again the nay-sayers were there casting their doubt that I would make it. A battle to the end which was celebrated at my graduation June 5, 1994! It took another battle and test of fortitude to complete my post graduate training in the north. Finally I returned to my home community in 1995 and began my solo practice at the age of forty five. The following years were just a continuation of a Journey to Remember!
