jd_27 Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 Anyway, so i took chemistry 11 completionĀ this summer, and today was my first day in-class. I took it ācause itās a prerequisite for nursing, which is a second choice career. Ā My plan since the beginning was to become an FA, but i switched to medical field ācause my mom didnāt approve of it. So i said iāll just takeĀ MOA after high school then, and go on from there, but i wouldĀ likely go for a unit nurse clerk after. However, i let other peopleās words get into my mind, and now itās messed up. I feel like MOA is too low, however, i donāt feel like being a nurse at all, but itās my momās dream job (which is one thing that keeps me tied with it)Ā and my other family members are suggesting it. Earlier in-class, i told my friends whom i took the same class with (both are taking medical field) that iāve made up my mind and i will drop the class ācause i really donāt like it, itās not my thing. And idk thereās smt that scares and makes me nervous about it and it makes me nauseousā¦.But now iām doubting again, because i donāt want to disappoint my mom. She told me āi mean biology is still good for your background, and chemistry is also good for your preparationā when i told her i wanted to drop it ācause i just donāt like it.Ā Iām literally having a dilemmaā¦help me pls.

Monsoon Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Hey @jd_27 Welcome to our community. I'm one of the digital mentors here and I give advice and support to those who reach out to us. I completely get why it makes you scared and nervous to drop the class, especially because your mum is really keen on you going into nursing. However, this is your life and your career, and it's important to do something that you want to do, not because it's someone else's dream. I'm wondering, what is your gut telling you? What is the right thing for you now?

Ā My guts going crazyā¦my mind is telling me to just goĀ for it and try my best, and prove myself wrong that i can pass itā¦but i feelĀ like dropping it (like you said itās my life and careerā¦Uhh and i might had said that it makes me feel small if i donāt take nursing too, toĀ my mom and sheĀ advised that i should do what i want (which is to still stay in the medical field),Ā ācause if i keep pushing the career i donāt want then itāll just mess up my mind and go to waste since i wouldnāt like what iām doing). Knowing myself, i have a hard time deciding for myself so i always ask for validation and stuff, soĀ I thought ofĀ taking my second class (online), how it goes, and see whether i still feel like dropping it. ?

Monsoon Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Hey @jd_27 To be honest, from what you've told me already, it seems like you already know exactly what you want. I get what you're saying about having a hard time deciding for yourself, but you already know what to do, and I think it's just a case of going for it and making it happen. What do you reckon?Ā MultiQuote Quote Link to comment https://forums.ditchthelabel.org/topic/2245-random-vent%F0%9F%98%AD%F0%9F%98%97/#findComment-10540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
