Is this normal?

I have always wanted to be in the medical field as a career. Now, suddenly, at the age of 19, I want to become a writer. They're so different that it seems abnormal.

It’s not . My goal was to be an opthalmologist . Got the grades , got accepted to medical school ... and then my mother’s health started failing . I just couldn’t bear to be 500 miles away from them , so I declined and went in another direction that kept me closer to home . I have never regretted the extra time I got to spend with them .
