To everyone,
My name is Lilian and I am a premed student at a U.S university. I know you said you wanted to speak to doctors but I really need your advice. Please read my story and tell me if I have a slight possibility to go to medical school.
I was born in Honduras and migrated to the US when I was 15 years old. Ever since I remember I always wanted to be a doctor and I new that if I studied really hard this dream would eventually come true. But this dream was shattered five years ago, when I got into a confrontation with one of my close friend. I thought she was a good friend but little did I know that she would hurt me the way she did. After the confrontation she called the police and filed a false police report against me. At the time I was only 19 years old and have only been in the US for four years. I of course wanted to fight the charges against me but I could not because of my legal status and my English was very poor. I could not afford a private lawyer so I had a state lawyer represent me. This lawyer advice me to plead guilty to the charges because if I wanted to fight the charges I would be putting my self at risk for deportation. Years past and I continue my education, now I am a junior in college and I am getting ready to take the MCAT. Since I know I need hospital experience last week I went to my local hospital and filled an application to become a volunteer. But to my surprise they dined my application because of the charges I have. Only till last week did I realized the impact those charges had in my life. Now I am devastated and cant stop crying. I feel that my dream is gone and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I am not a bad person Ive never been in trouble with the law before.
I am trying to get this charges expunge from my record but I am still very scared I dont know what to do! I dont want to quit but school is going to start very soon for me and I just dont even know if is worth my time to continue. My husband is in medical school so I now what I am getting my self into. I really loved this profession and like I said before ever since I remember I always wanted to be a doctor.
I am sorry to have to bother guys but I am desperate and very sad and anything that you guys could tell me would be very helpful.
Thank you, 🙁 🙁 🙁
