America Strong. The story of a woman who's proof of what persistence can build. Sheay Taylor Allen recently opened an envelope that would change her life. 
>> The fourth year Howard University medical student officially matching with Yale New Haven Hospital for her residency in anesthesiology. 
>> [screaming]. 
>> A long road that's come full circle for the 32-year-old who's about to head back to the very hospital where she once worked as a janitor. This time as a doctor. 
>> I'm born and raised in New Haven. Just my mom and my two brothers. She was a single mom of three. 
>> Despite graduating in the top 10% of her high school class, she says she didn't know what would come next. 
I started at Yale Hospital as a janitor at 18 years old. Working there for a few years before I went to undergrad at Southern Connecticut and it wasn't until my sophomore year when my mom became ill that I realized that I wanted to become a doctor. 
>> But she didn't know what that would entail. >> I did not know the process. So I literally had to sit there and Google the whole process and everything that I need to go to to become a doctor. I'm going to hit [screaming] it. 
>> Feeling like I'm in a dream cuz I could have never imagined that I'll be going back to the same hospital that I was not only born at, but a janitor at to be a doctor for my community. 
>> Tonight, Sheay shares what got her this far. 
>> Keep going. You have to take the losses in order to get where you need to go. You literally have to visualize it for yourself and keep moving.
