Everyday Happenings #3

    Today I went to visit a Peer Counselor at our Career Center on campus. I told her all about how indecisive I was on wanting to go to Med school. I didn't tell her the real reason was I felt pressured from everyone, but I sugar coated it pretty well. She threw out some brilliant ideas and gave me a step by step plan on just deciding. I was feeling a little less "ugh". Then I called to tell my mom who discredited this woman saying she was trying to change my mind about Med school and discourage me. I probably should have told her right then that I wasn't to fond of the idea anymore, not so much the counselor. I constantly kept thinking about how disappointed everyone in the family would be, church members, and just everyone else. Then I called my oldest sister (who has been down this road already), and she encouraged me to do what I wanted to do. . .what makes me happy. And I started to think about waking up and heading off to work and I would be most happy being a HELPER (a counselor of some sorts). So I shall start there and I will have this daunting convo with my mother later.
