The Story Of My Heart...
Sunday, July 31, 2011
Am i selfish to pursue my dreams of studying medicine? I've heard reasons that makes it seem that i shouldn't be studying it. For one, i've heard that by studying medicine, i'll end up marrying late and this would inevitably result in having children late. I've also heard that there's no good time to have a child when you're a doctor let alone have time to spend time with your child. Yes i know medicine is a calling that would require a permanent lifestyle change but that doesn't necessarily mean that i've to give up my principals right? I do want to have a family. I do want to have children. I do want to raise my own and spend time with them. I know that will be difficult but i don't think it's impossible right. Even in other careers some parents don't have the time or perhaps they don't put in the effort in spending time with their child. So i guess it isn't really about career choice? Although the career would definitely place a limiting factor. Yet i believe in quality and not quantity of time yes? PLus, if i do meet a certain special someone who is understanding enough of my situation and the sacrifices that would have to be made, then nothing is impossible right? I don't know why but the other day when i was told this, i just felt like i was being told off that i made the wrong decision because afterall i still want family and relationships in my life. I know career is not everything. The way she said it was as if i didn't care about anything else except career.
When i've found my special one. He'll understand. And when he does. I'll get the best of both worlds. It would be a compromise but nothing is ever perfect. Its about making the best out of what we have.
