A New Career Dream: From Medicine to Education

Realizing the dream you’ve held on to for 10+ years isn’t really your dream is a slow and painful process. After officially declaring I was no longer pre-med, I felt like I was starting from scratch. What would I do now? I needed to figure out what I enjoyed enough to build a career from it. After some introspective work, I realized I loved to learn. I thoroughly enjoyed my classes and decided if I could, I would make a career out of being a student. I considered getting a PhD, and I still might. For now, though, I’ve channeled that love into a career in teaching.
