well, thx for the vote of confidence, i def appreciate it! well it would depend on which track i decide to settle for. yes its a bit scary but i just have to move on with my life and get to that next step. It's been 4 years since my last stint with school, and i took the time to really THINK about what I truly wanted to be doing...
Time waits for NO ONE, and I just have to better myself professionally going fwd, for my mom, for my future family etc. BIG plans for myself within the next 2-3 years.
And speaking of motivation, u for one has got it!!! getting a masters in your field, getting this great job, and THEN going back so you can realize your goal of being a sex therapist. Thanks for all the talks in the past about schools and stuff, i would have to say that was one of the major factors which encouraged me toward jumping headfirst into the craziness. so thank you from the bottom of my heart  |

So are you looking to get your medical degree or a 2 year degree? The school I went to was very HEAVY in the medical field and OT, PT, Radiology is some tough . I saw girls give up there entire lives to get into the program and still couldn't, and the ones that did where never seen from again cause all they did was work there asses off, then again it was one of the best 4 year programs in the country.
Its gonna be a LOT OF HARD WORK...but if you are ready for the commitment more power to you. |

well thank you. :)
im pretty much prepared to go into medical if i end up THAT interested in it. Even with Radiography, I'm definitely gearing toward a few specializations at the very least (CT, MRI, Womens Diagnostics). yes it is very hard overall, back in school i had friends who just *dropped off the face of the earth* due to their majors in Pharmacy, Nursing, and other health-related degrees. But they had the mentality and desire for it, and right now I believe i possess the same.
i have been mentally preparing myself for the long haul ahead...its been really hard trying to research everything to the fullest and ive been doing that since 1 yr and a half ago without having any sort of background in science or health (and of course i still do not know EVERYTHING that i need to know)-- just making sure I wanted to go into this, talking to friends who have graduated or are currently pursuing similar track / health programs, reading up in medical journals/magazines about different fields and where they needed people in certain specialties.
when/if I do get into any of these programs (HOPEFULLY!!!) then my life as I know it now will come to a complete HALT. But I have truly accepted that...one of the main reasons why I had begun cutting down on going out etc. in order to prepare for the changes ahead. But hey small sacrifices NOW so I can face a future that is BOUNDLESS and where I would have the means to shape it as I want. I can truthfully see how certain things will turn out, and its soo close i can almost taste it. so that further motivates me. I'm really thinking of my MOM most of all though -- i owe it to her to be able to come through with flying colors. I would really like to be able to help her retire.
atm, i just NEED for this job to become PERMANENT then I'll be able to really SAVE for school. Im saving a bit at a time right now though with the limited resources which I have. its going ok. |
