"What should have been"

It still do pains me on how my fate unfolds right before me. I admit, it still pains me looking at my classmates and a few friends who made it to medical schools and took a step closer to the dream we once shared in our medical technology days. I used to tell myself and had made a target that I would be a doctor of medicine someday. But being persistent to these goals isnt enough to achieve it. Circumstances are to be considered and should be one's side, as for me, that dream might be forever a dream.

A now sickly mother + unemployed brothers + a not so responsible dad = a laboratory technologist like me who needs to stabilize himself and accept the call of responsibilities waiting for me.

This might be a lesson of humility and a call of sacrifice for me. I settle with the fact that I am helping my family in this way and giving my parents relief on financial burdens.

Not everyone in the planet could attain the degree I have and I am so thankful and would be forever grateful to my parents who stives hard just to give us the best education there is. With this, I know I am left with something that I could hold on to just to survive in our day to day struggles in this lifetime.

To those who were blessed enough to make it to medical schools, I hope you guys are making the most of it for someone here wanted to be in your position but cant. Godbless us all!
