I began my educational journey at Georgia State University as an enthusiastic pre-medicine major with a very unrealistic goal of taking on the world.I told myself I would sacrifice anything to become a doctor, including accepting the possibility of never having children due to how hard it would be for me to spend quality time with them.I constantly worried about the finances required for my education, if my parents had the necessary funds to pay their bills, and much more.As far as my academic performance, I was never satisfied with my science grade point average. I felt inferior to my classmates who seemed to absorb and comprehend information at a faster rate in comparison to me. To make matters worse,I had to constantly fight the urge to daydream in my Chemistry lectures.Somehow I just was not the same little girl that loved the sciences anymore.I was bored and knew that Chemistry 1211k was not the last of Chemistry classes that I would have to take.I continued to persevere through Chemistry because I honestly wanted to devote my life to helping other people.In the midst of pursuing my unhealthy dream, I led a very unbalanced lifestyle.
