I met this French Old Guy at work, nope he’s not a boyfriend wanna be, but he became a friend. Last Saturday he told me that he will see me as a doctor someday. I laughed at him but it hit me! His words
echoed in me, I was disturbed on that day fascinating that I am a doctor…
thinking why I haven’t thought of it when I chose my career path. And to the
point I researched the qualifications to enter in medicine school. It’s not too
late.
Two days after that conversation, he handed me a brochure of
a school and told me to take qualification exam this month. He said he’ll pay
for my first and last course. I don’t know if he was serious or not. But I was
elated at that moment. Until I realized I can’t do it for the fact that I am
under work permit visa and we are not allowed to study in this country. He
looked upset but I told him by next year I could possibly get my residency and enroll
in school.
By the time he was leaving he was encouraging me to go for
it as he said by age 31 I will be a doctor. And I paused, give him a big smile
and told him, “Sir I’m already 31.”
Now the question still lingers in my mind, should I proceed to
be a doctor?
