doctor?

After a weekend of family and watching my sister enter medical school, it kind of slapped me in the face what I'm missing out on. Since I was young, I had always wanted to be a doctor. A dentist, to be more specific. Mostly because I wanted to follow in my father's footsteps and get the approval of my parents, but I think also because I knew I was helping people. Listening to the speakers at my sister's white coat ceremony made me feel guilty for choosing a different route. Lives will be at the hands of these people who are now entering med school. This white coat symbolizes the trust, power, and responsibility that all doctors possess.

I on the other hand, have become lazy and chose an easier route. Since science classes, especially bio, seemed too difficult for me to just fool around and get a B in, I opted out to another route. Not that business classes does not make you study. But I defintely work less than fellow students who are following the medical route. My dad even joked that I could switch to the dentist field if I wanted to. I still have time... UGH.

I thought I was supposed to know these decisions before my senior year.
