At 17 I thought I had my profession thought out and had passion burning behind it. I wanted to be a fashion designer and I wanted it now. But things got in the way and my life took over. 

Years later and medical school later I stumbled across the school I wanted to go to years ago and contacted them for more information. They sent me out a pamphlet and called me up. And while staring at the pamphlet and talking to them I realized something. The dreams of youth have changed when in adulthood. I love being fashionable and making myself these clothes but making it for thousands just doesn't intrigue me anymore.

The joy and excitement I get from the medical field does. It challenges me in ways I didn't think it ever would. And the closer I get to graduation from this school the more I am in love with this field. 

So I never thought I would turn down my dream at 17 but I did. I told the lady who was eager to sign me up no. Ten years later and I finally took my final step into adulthood and put all my old regrets to rest.
