We dream, life happens; childhood dream in the mud!

When I grow up, I want to be a pediatrician, I would always rant to my colleagues as children. Well, I knew I wanted to be a doctor or so I taught but I didn’t know the various types of doctors it I knew that a pediatrician was ascot or that treats children. I didn’t know I came about that knowledge but that was the only type of doctor I knew so I would readily just say that I wanted to be a pediatrician and treat children.

Not that I like children but I don’t hate them either, they can be a lot to handle though and I admire a beautiful one when I see them. Well, newsflash, I am not any where near being a doctor. Infact, I am so far from it. My distance to that childhood dream is like from heaven to the earth. An irreparable distance. Here I am on hive creating contents back to back.

Well, what happened, you may ask? Well, Life happened. When life happens we see ourselves tolling a different path, far different from what we ever envisioned. After my secondary school, I lost my dad the same year. I started writing jamb and then came the frustrations of jamb and not meeting up to the cut of marks. After three years of writing jamb, I was given a course very far from what I wanted to read.

Pure chemistry. What is the relationship between chemistry and medicine? Out of frustration, I went to read the course. Maybe I shouldn’t have cos I didn’t even like that course for any reason hence I didn’t put my mind and much effort into it. I didn’t do well in school and if you ask me, I don’t even know how I managed to pass those courses coupled with all the financial hardship I faced in school.

It was all a tale of frustration and confusion and this experience threw me into a path that I am still trying to find my way back from all these years. If I am given the chance, I wouldn’t live my child hood dream. Because someone is smart doesn’t me that they were born to read medicine or a science course.

Growing up as teenagers. We believed that science course is for the smart ones while arts is for the dull ones but it’s not always so. Right now, I can’t even stand blood so I am glad that I didn’t get to study the medicine after all. I still feel I would love to go into the medical field but maybe nursing but definitely not medicine and surgery.
Well, all things being equal, life always happens but till then, this childhood dream would simply have to remain in the past where it belongs.
