If u don't want to hear my life story skip to the last paragraph. I might get a movie rights or write a sequel lol.
Right after highschool, I didn't bother applying to any UCs etc. I just went to community college. Did awesome first year. I dropped out my second yr. I got super depressed after speaking with the counselor. He suggested med school wasn't for me since I was basically raising my kid brother and sister, lack of finances so couldn't afford med school, and didn't graduate with the best gpa grade (2.7) so a lot was stacked against me so I just didn't show up to any of my classes (I know, selfish & stupid move) got a well paying job ($14-$21 p/h) and life got brighter for us. Fast forward 3yrs, parents finally got divorced and took responsibility over siblings. I got married and couldn't wait so we had a child. 3 yrs later I'm here. Unable to sleep wishing I had finished my bachelor's.
I was double majoring in micro-bio and chem-bio. (Not that hard. Same field) I also was minoring in physics. I really loved ap physics so I kept going at it. In highschool, I took advantage of any available med course such as Sports Med, EMT, CNA and LVN but I couldn't finish LVN since I was $2,000 too short for the other half of the LVN course... (I couldn't qualify for a loan since I had no credit and the adults I knew had really bad credit). It's easy to see the med field was really what I wanted to do. I wanted to be a M.D. since a kid.
Anyways, my stupid choice left a 3 yr gap after college and I have either failed or dropped marks on my record. (I hate it. Such disgrace). What can I do ? Med schools will see that. Should I even go back or just do RN? Or change field? Seriously, strangers, help me out sincerely. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
regret
