Medical School Advising

Motivation

When you're 19 years old and tell your parents that you want to be a doctor, its great news. You have your whole life ahead of you! Some people will be happy for you. Others will wonder if this is just some phase you are going through.

The simple truth is that attending medical school is more than a time commitment. Where does the motivation come to make a decision that will test the limits of your endurance, intelligence, finances, and courage, not to mention your pride? These are questions that every traditional student will be asked countless times. Questions that each person has to answer for themselves.

There are many people out there who have ambitious dreams. The difference is that many are unwilling to determine their priorities and, without apology, say no to other things. This is why if you have faith in something, if you truly believe in something, you can't always listen to the outside world. This is because the outside world, in spite of its desires, is content with what it has.
