the thread about nothing...

[Fozz]

My parents were furious when I told them that I didn’t wanna go to medical school anymore. They weren’t happy with the course I finished in school.

I said “**** it, it’s my life. Not theirs.”

I succeeded in my own right.

Not surprised. My mom was trying to push me to be a nurse, while my Dad was letting me decide what I wanted to major in.

I started contemplating if I should look into nursing school...But I don't know if I have the tolerance to handle that work environment.

[bendover]

That too. My parents don’t understand how competitive it is here in the states.

They always said “How come I got into nursing school/medical school so easily in this Philippines?” I had to tell them that it’s because both sets of my grandparents had money

I told them that if they were forcing me so hard to pursue nursing school, that private schools were the way to go. They insisted on me going to a public school because of $$$$. Hence, I worked my *** off for a high GPA & TEAS score. Told myself, “if I don’t get in, it’s okay because there’s a plan B. But if I do, it’s a blessing.”

Still didn’t get into any of the state schools. But I wasn’t surprised. My dad told me straight up, “I want you to stop going to school altogether until you get accepted into a nursing program.” I said “**** that, I’m not giving up. I’m gonna finish school one way or another.”

They only realized how competitive it was out there when the new nurses at their job told them that they graduated from some $$$$$$$$ private school.

I think a BIG part of why my career didn't end up in the medical field is because my dad was acceptable with letting me choose my own degree compared to my mom.

My Dad didn't believe they had a say in what degree I should aim for because they didn't help me with my schooling growing up. I learned and did everything on my own. My mom on the other hand is from the Filipino Traditional side where she's uptight and has an old-school expectation. She got my aunt's and uncle's to gang up on me to try and pressure me to go into medical school. Smh.

The funny thing is, my mom isn't even in the medical field

So I clashed with my mom a lot growing up and confided in my dad because he understood where I was coming from

I hate that guilt trip of “I didn’t migrate to this country for you to not be a doctor/nurse.”

A lot of parents use that "I didn't .... for you to ... "

Yeah, I smirked when my mom was trying to justify her reason in me going into the medical field.

She was livid when I first wanted to get into film production lmao I know I have some relatives to this day that 'dislike' me for not going into the medical field.

Petty old Filipino people, I swear.

I was biking home when this car did a rolling stop through a stop sign and cut me off.

I looked and saw that it was a student driver and the instructor was on his phone....*****
