Introduction/Nice to meet you all!
I'm Gracie, and I joined 7cups a few days ago as a listener! I just wanted to say that, in the short amount of time I've been on the site so far, I'm amazed at how welcoming and accepting the 7cups community is! I'm going into medicine, and I think it's really important for a doctor to have active listening skills and to prioritize their patient's mental and emotional wellbeing. I've already learned so much, and I will continue to grow as a listener and supporter! Again, thanks to everyone for being so supportive and for collectively making the world a better place!

Hi! Welcome to 7cups! I can nothing but relate. A doctor, who can listen actively weights more than gold. I have expected professional, but somehow "cold" doctors, especially in my childhood. But still - I am a young adult who is exploring the world of independance and it would be helpful to have a listening doc.

Yayyy another pre-med person!!! Nice to meet you ^^ I also believe that joining in the 7 Cups community will really help me to enhance my listening skills as well as understanding and empathy. I wish you all the best on your journey! - juliana
