Goals...

I'm trying to relax myself for a while, just before starting my marathon studying again. IT has been 2 yrs since I last did this marathon so wonder if I still have the stamina to continue. Studying's a test of endurance, stamina, intelligence and determination. IT is the goal you have to reach out for, the challenge for yourself, so bear this in mind! Haha, I'm going nuts from the stress. Well, the stress has not quite set in but still, I hope I can maintain my studying habits so that when the real hectic time comes, I will be in a less tensed situation whereby hundreds of chapters are left undone. I'll probably do my E maths homework, and try to read through some Chemistry.

Speaking of goals just now, I have a dream. That is to be a doctor, someone who has the ability to save people through the organised methods. However, the fear of malpractice lawsuits still prevails. Perhaps people might think this is too ambitious, perhaps just like SY from my class who tells me that my dream is unreachable, maybe you may not be convinced that I am determined enough, but I tell you right here, that this is my goal, my ambition and my love. It's not for money matters, for you know that doctors aren't earning that much now, it is not too much of the name though it does play a part (nice to be known as Dr Liew) , neither is it because of the status as well. It is the wish to wear that white or green surgery coat, to put my brains to the challenge and be aspired to give back all I have learnt. I know that medical school is demanding, for physically and emotionally. But it is the path set ahead for me, I can see it. Career comes before relationships for me, honest. My cousin told me that I was just daydreaming when I told her in a serious tone that I ernestly wished to become a doctor, but this isn't gonna put me down. Instead, it has become a source of motivation,to prove them wrong, to be the most successful of all of them. And I will not let people hinder my way towards this goal.

Well, maybe this is kind of early to talk about, but I was really agitated when I received negative remarks about my ambition. First step to my medical route is to do well for my prelims and O levels. To get into a science stream in AJC. Study but study smart, my teacher used to tell me. I may get 80%average with 80 hours spent studying every week and average 76% with just 55 hours if I study the right way, without over exhausting my mind. That's inclusive of time spent in school. I am irritated with competitive friends around who pretends to be lazing about but in actual fact, studying furiously. I know I will meet many more people like this in future.

Time for eating!! Had a great Shakespeare workshop today in school.
