pursuing the med field now. worked in a PT clinic in High School. ALso worked in a BioChem place in High School and college. In High School I wanted to be a doctor, but because of certain situations I will not discuss, I chose a different path (which I regret).
Currently a programmer and taking pre-med classes.
my dad is a double PHD in Pharmecology & Pathology (I heard this stuff ad nauseum growing up)
sister is a optometrist
most of my cousins are doctors
I actually love the field and want to go back to med school. I was never pushed to go into the field at all. I came to a decision about it on my own.
My GPA in college was crap, mainly because I lacked focus and I didn't like what I was doing. Hopefully a good med school will accept me anyways because I am actually pretty bright and when I focus on something I tend to do extremely well at it.
That is the 'jist' of it.
