Passion for a Career

Friday, July 17th, 2009

When my daughter graduated from high school, she told me that she wanted to enroll in a fine arts course because she wanted to become an interior designer  and a painter. My wife and I dismissed the idea and we enrolled her in med school. After a few years, she got a degree in pre med school. We then enrolled her in a medical course and she got the highest merit in her batch . After taking the licensure examinations for doctors, she became a full pledge doctor of medicine. Once her license certificate was released, we asked her if she wants to  work in the hospital or we will just set up her own clinic. She just smiled handed us her certificate and her diploma and said, she will be going back to school. She wants to enroll in a fine arts class. That was when I understood and the reality hit me hard.
