Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this I really appreciate it also sorry about my grammar! I’ve been following this page for a while now and I have always enjoyed the content! Let’s begin I am currently 26 years of age.I graduated high school in 2018 and I got into Long Beach city college without any idea on what wanted to do so I didn’t take school seriously at all I just felt lost all of my friends went onto a 4 year but I just didn’t know what to do. I got bad grades my gpa was super low because I felt super lost in my journey. About a year in I decide that i wanted to help people because it makes me feel like a better person and it truly brings me joy in the sense of being knowledgeable and knowing. Then covid came into the picture so I told myself chemistry is super hard so I’m going to wait until we take classes back in person because I wasn’t able to learn right because I needed the extra help. So two years pasted by and I just thought to myself im going back to school I was also very broke at the time so I started working and I learned a lot about working in a group and taking leadership I went back to school and I thought to myself hey lets go back to trying to be a doctor. Had a serious talk with my dad coming from a low income family he told me I get that you are ambitious but maybe do something that is less years because I want you to be successful at a young age so I thought that’s what I needed to do so I listened to him. fast forward to about last year the feeling is creeping back to me and it wont go away I can’t sleep because I feel like it’s driving me crazy of the fact that maybe im too old to do this and ill end up becoming a surgeon at the age of 40 years old. Everyone tells me dont do that its too much time but I know deep down in my heart that’s what I want to do is to become a doctor and help those that are in need. I’m just afraid I went be able to get into medical school because of how low my gpa is currently im sitting on a 2.3 gpa but according to my counselor at my school she said that by the end of summer classes it can go up to a 3.0 gpa because im currently taking some ge courses and I still need to take all the courses for medical school im currently doing biochemistry as my major I haven’t really taken any classes like for med school preparation. So the basic chem, bio, physics, etc. I still need clinic experience, shadowing doctors. Etc is there any advice you guys will be so kindly to tell me? I would appreciate it very much thank you!! I will most likely be transferring to a csu so im hoping that’ll be good enough but I still have a couple of things to do like finishing up the prerequisites to transfer to the csu. Sorry im just very lost and whatever you guys can tell me I will gladly appreciate it. Thank you again!
