The past few days that I have been "noisy" in my head, I thought about career opportunities in the past that I had let go of. Others I tried (like teaching for instance, when I became a preschool teacher after I graduated), while others I have simply said no to after much deliberation. One of the latter is being a doctor. Few people know this. I actually took the NMAT when I was in college together with my then boyfriend, Chris. I even scored higher than him in the test but after much thought, and after my grandfather said no to supporting me with such a long and expensive course, I just simply gave up too. Then a few years back, my father-in-law suggested that I take a nursing course since it was highly in demand at that time and he predicted it would be for several more years. Again, I said no. Not just because I am not fond of blood, but because I found medical uniforms quite boring.
