Violin is something I cherish, and performing for my family and friends is pleasurable. I hope everyone can find a form of art because it is behind everything we strive to do. #MusicLife #Violin (early life)

Putting myself through college was no small task, but the waiting of tables, working in labs, etc. was completely worth it! Knowledge is precious, but balance is key. Finding a hobby like the orchestra and the newspaper was what made my life complete. (before graduation)

The construction finally ended, and the Empire State building is huge.  After about one year, the Empire State building is now open to the public, and I can gaze at it a lot. #Construction #BuildingAnEmpire (1931)

Just gave my first patient anesthesia!! I'd say the aftermath was a whole lot funnier because the person was COMPLETELY out of it! I think the patient talked about riding a unicorn to find the pot of gold? #ROFL (before1938)

I've just finished developing the "Apgar Score", which detects the chances of your baby's survival based on a point system. These five categories get you an accurate result. I highly recommend you come to the doctor and get the best treatment for your case. (1952)

Working on seeing if cigarettes have a connection with birth defects. Until proven, I'd advise you to realize that cigarette ads were banned for a reason. (1971)

Just helped my 17,000th patient with anesthesia-helped birth. The look on the mothers' faces are ones I'll never forget. Can't wait to make it 17,001.

Based off of my life's research, the Apgar Score, I've just published a healthy parenting book that I suggest to all new or soon-to-be parents. Treat your future right. #GoodParenting #EarlyStart (1972)

Please keep the people who struggle with polio in your hearts and prayers. I've been working with an inspiring charity called The National Foundation-March of Dimes, and they're empowering! #BeAware

I'm so thankful I get to support a polio charity AND get to travel about 100,000 miles per year. Speaking and fund-raising for things as important as this makes my heart swell with joy. :)

Still unmarried, but work, family, and friends are all anyone needs in their life. Be fine with being a single pringle and not wanting to mingle.

Liver has gotten not-so-good. I'm proud of my work and hope I left my footprint in the sand for generations from now to use as a guide to the beauty of the ocean.

After Virginia's death in 1974, she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame (1995). And honored by the U.S. Post Office with a stamp. I'm so lucky to have known this wonderful woman and thought I'd make one last post for old times sake. Thank you, Virginia Apgar.
