Hello everyone! Have you ever told anyone about a dream career or goal you have and they completely shot you down, as if you could never make it? I want to become a gynecologist and some people look at me and are like, "That's so gross!", "You'll never make it!" or "Trust me. You're making a mistake wasting your life trying to be something like that." So I look back at them and I'm like, "Yeah that's what I want to be and you'll be looking for me in a heartbeat if you ever get burned"
This happens to me all the time, when I'm asked what my future plans are. So I want to know. Has anyone else experienced this before.
I had a friend in high school tell me that I shouldn't go to a black college because it doesn't prepare me for the real world. :???: I told him McDonalds ain't any better either
I can relate...I want to major in Communications and work for a television newstation. I was told I should be a teacher instead since I was the "smart one"...I've always been told my sister is the "pretty one" so she should model or be on television. But when it all comes down to it is what you think you're made of that shows later on not what others think. I had to learn that what others thought of me was not always relevant.
