Joseph41 When I was younger, my ex-girlfriend and I would always joke about we needed to become doctors or go into the medical field because our parents kept pushing us to do so, and also the fact that she always possessed aspirations to attempt to be the best and challenge herself no matter how unlikely the circumstances were. However, after we got split apart due to me failing to get into the school she got into; her ideology kind of just stuck with me for the last couple years. I can't even imagine her right now if she heard that I was actually trying to become a doctor or something, lmao; talk about not being able to let go of your ex. Other than that, I feel like pursuing medicine is not only challenging to yourself from an academic point of view but also challenging from an interpersonal relations perspective. So I wanted to learn to become more patient with others and be something more than just a guy who can study some what competently.
