Jacqueline Dugan's story

When I first started watching Grey’s Anatomy I had no idea what to expect.  I thought it was just a show about boring doctors.  But it’s so much more than that.  It has taught me so many lessons, and some facts about medicine.  Some of the lessons I learned from the amazing characters are “You will never learn if you don’t try” and “Always expect the unexpected”. These are just a few of the many things Grey’s has taught me.
Grey’s anatomy does a really good job of making everything realistic.  The series is about a group of doctors who try and survive not only in the medical aspect of things but life in general.  There are many doctors who come and go but there are main doctors who have remained in the show throughout all the seasons I’ve watched. Every time I open my laptop to turn on this show, I have a hard time turning it off.  Meredith Grey is the main character in the show and it’s been amazing watching her journey throughout the show.  You would think in a show like this, every patient the doctors have survive and life is great for every doctor, but that’s not the case at all.  The patients die daily, just like in a regular hospital, and the doctors have to face daily struggles involving work and their personal life.  There is some romance between doctors and between patients in the series, which keeps things interesting.  
I would say I am most like Meredith Grey.  In the beginning of the series she had a hard time letting people in and took the hard times in life very bad.  Towards the seventh season (there are eleven seasons) let her guard down a little and she made good out the bad.  In sixth grade I would say I was like Meredith Grey in the first season.  I had a hard time opening up to people and I would take the bad times in life very hard.  Now I am like Meredith Grey in the seventh season.  I open up to friends and I try to make the best out of the worst moments.  I love how when I’m watching the show I can try and see if I would solve a problem the same way she would because we are similar.
I love this show because it has not only taught me many lessons, but made me think about life different.  Before the show, I thought when you get out of college you get a job and that’s the end, but it’s a lot more than that.  I will keep these lessons Grey’s has taught me in my life forever!
