If every college says that it is the best, how do you know which one is truly the best? You can look at test scores I suppose, and percentage rates of people who succeed outside of the college. But still, that is a lot of colleges to have to compare over such odd little numbers. Plus, every college seems to have one or another claim to fame to flaunt that it is hard to keep them all in check. Those little qualifying words that they throw at you are enough to make my head spin.
Then there is the whole pre-med thing. Yes I know it is crazy, and when I tell people I want to become a doctor they just look at me and kind of tilt their head to the side like I’m crazy. They ask me stupid questions, like do I know I need to go to school forever to become a surgeon and that it will be really expensive. Why yes, I do know that getting there will be hard. But it is something I want to do. I want to be able to help people. To be able to go to bed at night and be able to say that I saved a life. That isn’t something you can get with just any old job.
More about this next week.
Sincerely Sydney
