kelel01 1 #7 May 4, 2006 What an interesting interpretation of what I said. But no. I'm just thinking about where I'll end up living, and the whole marriage, family, etc. stuff. This school stuff has really thrown me for a loop. I never considered having to move to go to nursing school, and now that looks like a very real possibility - one that I don't like but am going to HAVE to deal with.

Richards 0 #10 May 4, 2006 QuoteQuoteDo you ever feel like you spend all of your time fighting your destiny? I sure do. I want things to be a certain way, and I can't accept that they might not turn out that way. I certainly hope there is no such thing as destiny. While I have certainly seen circumstantial evidence indicating that fate/destiny is predetermined, I truly hope that is not the case. I would hate to think that my future is predetermined. Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

Brings back the idea of 'free will' being the dominating factor. You choose your life for the most part. I couldn't figure out what to do after high school...my dad broke it down to me this way~ You have to look at your life kind of as a 3 month long summer road trip cross country. One coast is the cradle the other the grave. It's YOUR trip, you decide where you want to go and what you want to see along the way. You should have some general goals....destinations if you will, that you place above others 'goals' that you'll head toward on the trip. Like on a map...it's makes more sense to do things in a certain 'general' order... reduces the 'backtracking time' But keep in mind, sometimes it's good to backtrack if that's where the trip takes you. Like on a summer trip...if you focus only on the destination, and drive like hell to get there, you miss all the cool stuff along the way. Who knows...you may stop for lunch in some small town, like the vibe and stay THERE for a week or two...experiencing things you may have missed if you had gone past without looking. It's ultimately YOUR trip Kele...you set the destination and map the paths. You have nothing but time and open road ahead of you...shrug off the 'pressure' you are feeling to get some 'certain' place at some designated time. Other people may be 'suggesting' to you where to go and what to see...but those things were important to 'them' in 'their' lives...they aren't YOU. Who knows...YOU make not like the place when you get there and move on to someplace else. Your 'destiny'...your 'trip'...is what YOU make it.

I look at life as one of those "choose your own adventure" books from when I was a kid. . . a mix of destiny and free will. That doesn't mean I don't struggle with some of the choices I've made, like moving back to Oregon because I'd forgotten how much my family drives me up the wall. . . but had I not moved back, I doubt I'd have started skydiving.

TAKE SOME OF THE PRE-REQ'S FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL! Typically try to get: - Biology or zoology with a lab-one year - Inorganic chemistry with lab-one year - Organic chemistry with lab-one year - Physics with lab-one year - English-one year college level English - Calculus-one year but they do vary from school to school Leave your options open. You need a BS to apply to med school, what your major is isn't as important as getting the pre-reqs. Then after working as a nurse, decide if you want to continue on your education. Being a nurse was great.... being a doctor is an amazing challenge.... but you will have the option then in the future to decide. Destiny. I used to believe in it until two years ago... then she dealt me a card that I hated.... so her and I aren't on good terms now. So fuck her and do what you want to do. You only have one go at this game... play hard. Karen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
