Hello everyone,

I am a current student at a high school 😅, just graduated though! I remember when I first discovered my identity in a country where it is considered a taboo, I wanted to know how many people could relate. I found the number, I was okay with that number. But is the number wrong? I mean, that is all I am thinking about these days. There are sooo many reasons where one might understate, or overstate for that matter.

I made this super duper tiny form (should take 1 minute) but will help immensely for my mental sanity.

Please be HONEST!! I promise I will not judge, and even if you think I might, how will I know it's you?

Thank you!

Hey future doctors,

I am a current HS student entering undergrad. Right now I am planning to continue with my undergraduate studies in biological sciences and kinesiology as a double major. But, before I make decisions that cannot be easily reversed, I need to make sure that I am 100% in this.

I think I have a romanticized ideology of becoming a doctor as I could not isolate a single reason as to why I would not go into this field. I also do not feel like medicine is the only thing I can do. I could excel as an engineer, but I am bound to get bored when the novelty wears off. I have a computer science background, and I have won coding challenges before, but job stability is important to me. My best bet remains starting a CS startup. It is an evolving field, but so is medicine. The knowledge one is expected to be familiar with changes with time, and I absolutely adore this idea of constant adaptability.

I understand that medicine is a very heavy commitment, and I am not 100% if I want to be a doctor one day. I asked my sister to tell me why she thinks I want to go into medicine, and she said that I have a desire to be 'exceptional in a novel field'. Unfortunately, I cannot yet answer that question for myself. This is one of the largest factors holding me back from committing. I have an offer from another university in engineering. The deposit deadline was extended to 7th May upon my request, but I can always switch as a second year student within my university if I feel something has changed.

I would immensely appreciate people who are willing to share the negatives that they have experienced during/after their journey.

Thanks a ton!
