My paternal grandmother wanted me to be a priest. My mother and maternal grandmother wanted me to be career military. My father and maternal grandfather wanted me to go into something technical— which I did.

I wanted to be a doctor. My entire family discouraged me. Said I wasn’t kind and compassionate enough.

So not in line with my dreams at all.

@Tsondru Not too late, be a doctor.

@Tsondru My personal feeling is that we should pursue what we want to be. It's our life and we need to be in control of it. Whoever it is can always provide us with their valuable guidance based on their experience however letting them to control our life is not a smart approach.

@Carazaa That's a very motivating suggestion. If you regret the path you are following, then there are always options available to pursue one's dreams.
