i realized that out of all the professions, i like helping people. it makes me feel good when i can comfort combody or help them, treat their problems, save their lives (i am a lifeguard lol) etc. so i want to become a doctor. but i’m not a bright student, and not genious, but pretty hard working, i think…i came to america 4 years ago, and right now is a high school senior. my GPA(unweighted) is about 3.6. I am taking honors and AP classes and all that stuff, volunteering, clubs, extra curricular activities etc etc …and my problem is that i always think about my choice. i wake up with that thought in my mind, i go to sleep thinking about it. like they say, if i was given a penny everytime i think of my decision, i’d be a millionaire already hahaha. I am really scared I am not smart enough to become a doctor. I am weak in chemistry, but I know if I’d try hard enough, I’d get through it…plus getting into med school is very competitive. and im scared I would be nothing comparing to native speaking americans with perfect GPA…soo yea, thats my problem…:/// does anyone have the same fear?
