Since Grey's Anatomy's start 10 years ago, we've seen Cristina Yang grow from an intern eager to prove her brilliance into Grey Sloan Memorial's Cardio God. She was hardheaded, a workaholic, and stubborn, which made her all the more relatable.Yang loved, lost, and survived an unnecessary amount of life threatening tragedies as a surgical resident. Through this all, she remained a bad ass Cardio surgeon, and even ended up with her own hospital in Switzerland. In her ten seasons on the show, Cristina Yang has given us so many words of wisdom to inspire us all.
Cristina Yang was smart and she knew it. That's an attitude we should all have, especially with school starting soon.
Like Yang, know your worth, and don't let people treat you like anything less.
Do better, be better. If Cristina Yang wouldn't settle, neither should you.
Cristina Yang was a force to be reckoned She was just so driven, I want to be her.
In her final scene on the show, she gives Meredith this advice and it's one of my favorite quotes, ever. Cristina Yang never let a man, not even Owen Hunt, hold her back, and she made sure her best friend, Meredith, would do the same.
Whether is was saving lives in the operating room or dancing it out with Meredith, Cristina Yang was one of the show's best characters. And Grey's really hasn't been the same without the other Twisted Sister. She knew exactly who she was and what she wanted, and was not afraid to go after her dreams. So, in times of doubt, just think, What Would Cristina Yang Do?
