I’m 21 years old and I am about to finish my fourth year at uni. This is my third attempt at trying to get into med but my results are not looking too good. I have completed a bachelor’s degree of science on my way however, my parents have always wanted me to become a doctor just like my dad. I know I’ve got it in me to get in, but as the semester goes on, I just seem to lose the urge to study my hardest. I’m not entirely sure medicine is something I want to do, I’ll say I’ve always wanted to be like my dad. However, mid-way this year I’ve become very interested in computer science and I pretty much lost the urge to study hard to get into med. My parents are divorced and my mum is single while my dad is not. I feel like because I have failed three times already, I have let my mum mostly down. But also my dad too, because he has paid for all my university courses. I’m not sure what to say to them when I tell them I want to change my course as a fourth year student. I just feel like if I wasn’t distracted and stayed focused, I may have gotten into med and made both of them proud. I’m going to be 22 next year as a first year university student again, but something just doesn’t feel right. I feel like my mum especially put all her trust in me, and I feel like a failure.
