On my applications I clearly, brashly proclaim:
1. Major of choice: public health services and Biology.
2. Career of choice: Pediatrician.
Sure I like science, biology has always come to be very easily, and I love kids so much, it's borderline pedophelia...I can see ways to change public health care and how to teach people to take proactive stances with their health. But can I see myself as a pediatricianas clearly as I can see myself as other things?
If no one was looking (namely my family), if money and income was not an issue, there are so many things I want to do with my life.
1. I want to draw and paint shit for like 2 years; ideally not caring if I get paid for it or not...just paint to my heart's content.
2. While I'm still young, I want to star in a broadway show. Sing and dance and act...fuck race! I can play Velma Kelley from Chicago if I want to! >;[
3. I want to be the female, asian, skinny version of Iron Chef Mario Batali. Cooking food, playing with food, presenting food, eating food. Enough said.
4. Spend a few years becoming a virtuoso at the cello...like Jacqueline Dupre. And then become an opera singer like Sarah Brightman and go around the world on tour.
5. At this point in my life I'd be about 40...maybe I'd get married if anybody would still have me.
6. Spend the rest of my life as an art teacher. Or a choir teacher...or a culinary, drama, or dance teacher. Whicheverrr...
I don't understand what's stopping me from going for this layout of my life...I mean I can act, dance, sing, draw, cook... I just don't have the guts to do it :[
