I think I'm going to be a magician when I grow up. Screw medicine. Though I want to help people, I don't want to be surrounded by sick people my entire life. By the time I get out of university, half my life will be over. I don't want to spend half my life learning. I only have 1 and a half years to decide what I want to do. My parents were disappointed when my little sister who's 2 years younger than me said she didn't know what she's going to do. Everything else I've said I wanted to be (archaeologist, artist, scuba diver, treasure hunter, marine biologist) my parents either laughed at me or tried to convince me its a bad job.
They say they don't care what I do as long as I'm happy because it's my life, but then the next day they say medicine's the way to go and if I want that 99.95 ENTER, I'll have to work hard and study. It's like the only thing I'm good for is to study medicine. Once, I was talking about what I should do when I get out of highschool and wondering about things, then one of my parents said "Wow, you really want to be a doctor, huh?" I never even mentioned the word. I can't even remember whether it was really me who wanted to be a doctor since I was small, or whether it was them who put that idea into my head.
I don't understand them.
