My life, Thus far.

♥At this juncture, I thought it would be good if I were to consolidate my life thus far. Much had happened over the months and frankly speaking, it wasn't the best time of my life. I somehow felt, that maybe I should write out my life and the future and I'll see things a little much clearer, and probably be more motivated then before.

I originally had this as my Goal.

1.) Bachelors of Nursing with First Class Honors
2.) Masters' in Nursing
3.) PhD, Doctor in Philosophy (Nursing)
4.) Become an Academic in NUS.

The above 4 goals were to me important and I told myself to achieve all of that by 35.

Due to recent events, I have kind of changed my goals a little and have changed it like this.

1.) Bachelors of Nursing with First Class Honors
2.) Apply for Duke NUS to do my MD (Medical Degree)
3.) Become a Cardiologist
4.) PhD

I think the change in goals had something to do with financial fear that I am experiencing now due to family related issues and the fact that I wanted the most financial freedom. The only way I see out of it base on the field that I am currently pursuing, was to to switch over to medicine. It wasn't because I didn't like nursing, but it was because of much personal issues that I felt nursing wasn't going to give me the edge.

If I do become a medical doctor, I will still say this, I was nurse before I became a doctor. I will not stop renewing my practicing certificate for nursing. I think the craziest part of all, was that I will still want to purse a PhD in nursing. I do not know if I'm a retard, but that is my new goal. Many may say I'm crazy, but what is there to stop me ?

Wouldn't that be cute if I become a doctor, with all the goals ticked and my name stamp will be reflected like this:

DR. Ng Min Kai Kelvin
Registered Nurse B.N.(HONS),PhD(NUR)
MD, MCR NO. *****

I guess I'll stick to this, the new goal will be what I'll be working towards now. My previous goal will be my backup plan in the event I do not get into medicine school. I guess that is all I should be working towards.
