So my parents are doctors and my brothers in pre-med. I always knew I was smart but maybe not smart enough to be a doctor. I am a senior in high school and recently I told them I don't really wanna be a doctor and maybe something else like a parmacist. Well I got into a fight with my mom over something stupid, basically I wanted to buy something and she questioned me and I got kinda mad. Then she said "your not going to be a doctor so who knows if you'll make enough money in the future for your needs". After that comment I cried.. and felt so worthless. How do I deal with this? I feel terrible and stupid..... i believe this comment shows her true feelings about my potential. I've always tried my best in school and she always encourages me but today it felt so personal.
I would say I'm doing well in school, I'm taking hard classes such as AP chemistry, AP calculus, physics etc. I'm still trying to learn compared to other seniors in my schools who don't seem to care anymore. I wouldn't say I'm stupid but I don't really want like doctor as a career, and don't like the idea of all the schooling I have to go through to become one.
