A DREAM UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Everyone is something, or atleast, are working towards something. Whatever it is. We all aspire to be one thing or another and for most, this dream did but start now. It started from childhood.

As kids, we all grow up admiring a certain job profession and believing without any doubt that therein, our passion lies and that that was exactly what we would become.

As a child tho, I wanted to be too many things at once. You know how our interests gets piqued when we see someone in a certain field do so well or when we hear, especially from our mates, of the goodness of a field or watch on TV how nice it is, right?

Some of us wanted to be bankers and lawyers and doctors and governors, all at once.
And you know how kids can be excited so easily...that was a little like me.

Then we grow older and life opens up better and in some cases, life makes a choice for you. Although it's possible to be anything you wish but first you start from one. And if the circumstances surrounding you are favorable, even better for you.

I'm quite confused on what dream I foresaw for myself growing up. At different moments, I fancied different things. All of which were fleeting. But the one that has stood out was/is the dream to be a Medical Doctor.

The dream was to save lives. To give people hope and a chance to live just as my little mind had thought then. The dream was to make sure that no member of my family ever falls ill or lack quality health check. ...a little girl's dream.

Growing up, medicine had a reputation. Still does. Which parent did not want a doctor for a child? Plus, I remember writing on here about visiting my mum at the hospital and was so amazed at how smart the practitioners look.

In this part of the world tho, doctors neither get enough pay and accolades as they deserve. I still am not deterred. Living a life of fulfillment is great gain.

And for every day growing up, I witnessed confirmations to point that my choice was no mistake.

On how it is going, well, things are fair. We all grow to understand that life sometimes contradicts out choices. Life doesn't always go our way. The educational system has not exactly been favourable on my end. What I am doing now might not be what I want now and how exactly I imagined for things to run, but I see it as a means to achieving the dream while staying busy and gaining the knowledge.

Like I mentioned, I have not exactly gotten what I want but I am on that path, I presume.
The last part is no dismissal cause it is still very possible to get what I want especially if I play my cards well . The ball is in my court now.

So, I guess that at this juncture, I can say that it is a work in progress.

Thanks for gracing this post.
