Please don't take it the wrong way. It's not that we don't care. We do. I've read over everything you said. You have a lot going on, and I know I would like to help you out and I'm sure others on here would like to help as well. It's just good to maintain anonymity on this site for various reasons.
I'm not

First of all, you have accomplished and contributed quite a lot. Be proud of what you've done: military, medic, college, etc. There are plenty of people out there who choose not to accomplish or contribute anything in their entire lifetime.
It's good to see that you've found a mentor at school. So far, it looks like you're off to a great start.
If I were to make a suggestion, I would tell you to utilize any mental health professional available to you whether that be at school or through your military benefits. There's nothing wrong with seeking help. Plenty of people of all ages, backgrounds, professions do. Sometimes, it's good to even simply talk about your experiences as you are doing here. Life affects us all.
You say you failed the NREMT twice. Well, it's simply a test, and a bad one at that. Before moving a year ago, I taught EMTs and paramedics. I can tell you that many do not pass everything the first time.
As for that PA, there are people like that everywhere in medicine. But, how are you suppose to know how to do something if you've never been shown? I didn't know how to check a blood glucose or perform injections until I was taught. Shame on him or her for berating you for being safe and honest.
I think you're expecting too much of yourself right now. Try to take everything a day at a time, a semester at a time. Ask your mentor if he or she or someone else can help you plan out your future. Then, have someone else look over your plan.
You've worked hard to get to where you are now. Keep it up, man.
Good luck.

First, many thanks for your service to our country.
But, is there a question? If so, could you restate without the novella?

I was thinking the same thing. I want to help, but time is precious. Condense this down a bit, what can we help with?

If you are really interested in pursuing a career in medicine, my only advice at the moment is to fix this --> "too lazy to volunteer or talk to people"
As I am sure you have come to find out, there is no room for laziness or antisocial conduct. You will be dealing with other people 24/7 from this point on if you decide to take this road. Best of luck to you, I hope you find your calling! Also, thank you for your service to our country!

You've had an account for a minute and you already deleted any identifying information.
There are plenty of Bryan Estradas. Just make a new account and forget this one exists because it cannot possibility reflect anything poor on yourself.
