Professor Chang is a real life doctor.
Actor Ken Jeong is not only the villain from Hangover that shared his Bojangles with the entire world, but he also plays the character Professor Chang on NBC's hilarious sitcom Community, amongst other well known roles the past couple of years.
So, when I see Ken Jeong who is not only licensed to practice internal medicine in the state of California, but also in the past four years has had a meteoric rise into movie stardom, I can't help but be inspired by that.
According to wikipedia, Mr. Jeong began developing his stand up comedy while he was doing his residency in New Orleans. Does this remind you of anyone? You perhaps? Working a full time job, but still trying to pursue your dreams as a writer on the side?
Ken Jeong didn't give up, and neither should you.

Yeah, when I learned that, I was amazed. Being married to a doctor, I know how much work's involved in earning the degree/going through residency, so I'm doubly impressed by his extracurricular activities.
ReplyDeleteAhhh I didn't know this! I love him! And it is very inspiring, for sure. We all juggle and dream, so it's nice to see someone come out on the other side.
