Scared and nervous about my choice

One thing that students always seem worried about is if they are smart enough. Honestly it takes so much more than brains to get through any school of study. While admittedly there are certain avenues of study that only true eggheads will even contemplate, there is so much out there that is more based on sheer drive over anything else.

If you are taking high level high school classes and doing well then that is a big plus toward attempting something like med school. If you are smart enough to understand that there is a chance that you might not have the brain power to do it then it says that you are intelligent enough to understand that some people have shortcomings.

Medicine is in a large part all about helping people. But there are other fields of study that are even more directly involved with helping out. Being a doctor takes years of commitment and an exhausting amount of drive and determination. It will also mean a lot of funds spent. If you have doubts about yourself, your brains, your cash flow, and even if you have the drive, then it is something that needs to be thought out a little more.

if helping people is your main drive in life then open up your choice selection a little wider. There are loads of people that need help and many jobs/careers that relate to exactly that need.
