I figured this is the best place to ask about my situation for some unbiased results. I'm currently 19 and a freshman at a community college on my first semester. I spent the time in between highschool and now working full time to save up for my tuition. my dream is to some day be a physician, but I feel as if I'm starting to stray.
I just cannot seem to get motivated in school. I consider myself an intelligent person but my time management and attitude sucks. with successful cramming Ive been managing to keep all my grades at Bs and As but I reckon I can't keep that up forever with my poor study habits.
my superficial success so far has been me taking advantage of my ability to learn quickly, I have not put in much effort at all.
I've always wanted to serve, but my mother (a physician) always made it seem like that would be impossible if I wanted to ideally be a physician. the goal has not changed, but I feel as if Im wasting my time and money in school right now. I'm not performing at a level I find acceptable. I do not feel like in four years I will be ready for the rigors of medical school.
lately I've been researching more and more about corpsmen and it seems like something I would enjoy. I want a chance to become the person I feel I should be, to push my self to the limits and help those who truley need it. I want to feel useful, my job at the cafe just isnt cutting it.
I figured I could do a five year stint and use the GI bill to fund school. hopefully gaining the will power and perspective I need to be successful. my questions are as followed; have any corpsmen completed their bachelors after service and gone on to medical school or will I be crippling myself by doing so? and this next question is a little random but is it possible to obtain an NREMT-p as a corspman? and to those who have served how did you deal with leaving your loved ones? thanks for any help
sincerely,
misguided
