I was inspiried to write this blog by Paul Oppa's latest xanga entry. I remember a long time ago.. (maybe four or five years ago) I wanted to become a veterinarian because I loved animals and it amazed me how there were people that could make sick animals healthy again. But then, my family started telling me how incredible it'd be if they had a lawyer or a judge in the family thus pushing me towards law and government. Every step of the way, I wanted to make myself like that sort of profession but in the end, I decided that I'd rather follow something that makes me happy. Then I realized how much I love children... how much I love taking CARE of them. I've baby sat and am currently teaching 1st graders at my church to know both the good and bad parts about children. I know they're not easy to cope with. The ten year age gap is really hard to fill even now, let alone in another ten years. So I'm on my way to becoming a pediatrician. With my love and passion for math and science, I feel confident (but not overly confident) that I could succeed. Even if I don't succeed, I'm not in it for the money. I know that sounds so typical but honestly speaking, I've planned what I'd like to do after high school.

My plan is to go to a 4-year university where I can get my bachelors' and then a medical school to get my M.D.. After those eight long and tiresome years, I plan to join the peace corps for two years and spend two years of my life in another country that could use my help as a doctor. Mr. Kimber gave me the idea of joining the peace corps because it made me realize that I'm a very selfish person and I need to do something in my life that will give back to the world even though it may not be a great deal of help to others. So, there ya go. My plans for the next ten years of my life (after senior year of high school). After I get back from the peace corps, I'd like to work somewhere in LA preferably and start a family here. Idealistic, or what? xD

P.S. Try not to compromise your goals because you'll keep compromising and compromising until you don't know where you even began. Always go for something that will make you happy rather than something that will keep your walet fat (although the latter may be very tempting). Plan for success~ :) I have faith in each and every one of you.
