I’m a sophomore. Bleh, I didn’t like my freshman GPA at all. I did well in my sciences and my Latin class, just calc wasn’t too good. But hey, I passed it. I’ll be re-taking Calc over the summer. I love science, but math is not my friend, unless it is in science. Because then it makes sense, haha.
I haven’t decided what I am going to do when/if I get into medical school. If I don’t accepted, I’ll probably take a year or two off to do some research work, and then apply again. I want to be either a General Practitioner or a Psychiatrist. nothing too specialized.
Yeah I would definitely keep working on volunteering and not worry too much about shadowing. I just did it early because, well, it was available. I’ll be going back to India for work in a wound clinic but we’ll see what happens.
That’s awesome that you get to work in a counseling centre…cool beans! tell me how it goes! I would love to do something like that here but the confidentiality laws are quite strong and sensitive when it comes to therapy.
Best of luck to you. :)
BTW – are you a freshman? Be careful all right? I didn’t party at all in my freshman year BUT I did get mono. Although I did well on my exams, it was very difficult and my whole winter was hell. So just be careful and stay clean and healthy! :)
