All my life... I had planned to be a doctor. I love anatomy and physiology... but I hate all this chemistry and boring biology.<BR/>Problem is, my dad is a doctor. All our friends (we are Arabic) are all doctors. All our friend's kids are all doctors. All the Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Syrians, Egyptians. All of us are studying to be doctors.<BR/>And I hate it.<BR/>I'm not good at it.<BR/>And now I'm starting to doubt myself.<BR/>I feel as though I shouldn't be doubting myself. It feels as though I am letting down all of our Muslim community by deciding I don't want to be a doctor.<BR/>I mean, a doctor gets a ton of thawab, right? It is such a righteous thing to do... to help people. And when Muslims are doctors and hold high positions in America... then maybe we will have a say in how everything is done.<BR/>But I can't take it.<BR/>I hate everything about this.<BR/>I don't know what I want to do.<BR/>I feel like there is no other option for me.<BR/>I am failing my chemistry class, so I made a withdrawal from it. I am retaking it in the summer in hopes of being able to get a good grade in it.<BR/>I don't understand.<BR/>I used to be such a good studentin high school. I had a 3.8. I took AP Environmental Science, AP English, AP Literature, AP Biology... but now, I just hate it all.<BR/><BR/>I want to major in something that will let me be satisfied for my whole life, as well as something to satisfy to my parents, as well as something to satisfy the Muslim community and help us on our path as being accepted. <BR/>But I don't know.<BR/>I don't know what to.<BR/>I'm just glad I'm not the only one... <BR/>At least you found this out early.Manakishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03921028129371608883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837454513460518305.post-88096313780187260222009-03-10T03:04:00.001-07:002009-03-10T03:04:00.001-07:00media*LOL OMG I'm SPAMMING YOUR COMMENT BOX HAHAH ...media*<BR/>LOL OMG I'm SPAMMING YOUR COMMENT BOX HAHAH SORRY!Hijabis On Ranting Tour.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09017302125786435772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837454513460518305.post-53089845129734691782009-03-10T03:04:00.000-07:002009-03-10T03:04:00.000-07:00media*LOL OMG I'm SPAMMING YOUR COMMENT BOX HAHAH ...media*<BR/>LOL OMG I'm SPAMMING YOUR COMMENT BOX HAHAH SORRY!Hijabis On Ranting Tour.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09017302125786435772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837454513460518305.post-81803829670556575162009-03-10T03:03:00.000-07:002009-03-10T03:03:00.000-07:00oh... and like naz maybe i'll take medis studies/j...oh... and like naz maybe i'll take medis studies/journalism as a minor in Uni ;)<BR/><BR/>-A'qilah-Hijabis On Ranting Tour.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09017302125786435772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837454513460518305.post-70641517183771679602009-03-10T03:02:00.000-07:002009-03-10T03:02:00.000-07:00Welcomed sweety :)HELL NO.

I suck at math wallah. lol.<BR/>my parents are just over-ambitious. my dad loves planes so expects my brother to be a pilot and me an aerospace engineer. lol. my mum thinks the word bio-engineering is cool hence, the choice. LOL I know, we all want our 20s to be our glory days aint it ;)<BR/>Initially I wasn't very happy with my given course because even i asked for journalism hahahahaha ;)<BR/>but then I realised how much I was against the media. lol and how much i was in love with kids and working with them would be like a dream come true. Insya'Allah after diploma, i'll go for a degree and work either as a pre-school teacher or a child consultant. <BR/>it's okay habibty, they'll chill after some time. take my dad for example; he's excited for me now and is starting to think about the Uni he'll send me to.

I'm beginning ...A'qilah: Thank you so much! I'm beginning to feel more resolute in my decision but I tend to sway very easily. Bio-medical engineering?! Aerospace?! You must be one smart cookie :D I'm too much of a wimp to challenge myself with math besides the bare minimum to apply for Universities. And I understand the regret part. I wonder about my decisions and how I'll feel a decade from now and I know that spending it in medicine is going to be a huge waste of time for me. I want my 20s to be my glory days haha.<BR/>What kind of career do you plan on having? And my parent's will definitely know about what I want to do... <BR/>they have to sign the course sheet showing that they 'acknowledge' my decisions for classes.<BR/>Mucho gracias <3ModestJusticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512441472291054258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837454513460518305.post-85355320326726108992009-03-05T21:56:00.000-08:002009-03-05T21:56:00.000-08:00Awwww sweety you're confused and torn between ...Awwww sweety you're confused and torn between two eh, been there done that. You see; as much as we wish to please our parents there are certain things we should do for ourselves. My mother really wanted me to take Bio-Medical Engineering for a diploma and my dad wanted me to be in Areospace Engineering (ME DEALING WITH PLANES?HELL NO!) So basically they wanted me to be in the science-engineering stream. I mean please, I'm not a math and science person; I wish to major in Languages or rather I wish to be involved in something that's more ME.<BR/>So I just explained to them that I'll be taking up Child-Psychology and Early Childhood and told them that this decision has to be MINE because as much as I wish to live for them, I don't want to turn back 10 years down the road and see myself meddling with blueprints of planes and regret.<BR/><BR/>GO for what you think you should but at the same time don't disappoint your parents. sit down and talk to them and try to make them understand :)<BR/>HUGSSSSSS for my rocking sistaaaaa <333<BR/><BR/>-A'qilah-Hijabis On Ranting Tour.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09017302125786435772noreply@blogger.com
