Answer to Post about Heros
In kindergarten they asked me "what do you want to be when you grow up". I never thought of what I wanted to be, so for a moment I thought and came up with a truthful answer. Not completely sure if I would follow this until the future, but sure enough to know that I liked this career, I said "doctor". Years later, happier and more willing to be a doctor, I was faced with a question; what type of doctor should I be? Now I look back and see that if my mom, my hero, who if it weren't without, I might've not found the path she took. A path that helps lives that surround me and my own. My mom is not your typical doctor, though. She introduced me to the field of herbal medicine and holistic nutrition, which has completely re-sparked my interest in medicine. Thankfully, I am now not a high-schooler with no plans set for the future, and have been redirected from wanting to stray from the dream that I set for myself to the path that I am happy with.

Do you plan to go into the same field of medicine as your mom, or did she just re-inspire you in medicine in general?

DeleteThanks for sharing this. I'd really like to hear more about your mom as a hero figure. If you look at what you wrote, you really don't say much at all about her beyond "she introduced" you to her field. How did she do this? How has it actually influenced you? You say you have "set plans" but what does that look like? Did you behave one way at some point and then start behaving another?
ReplyDeleteI like your take on this assignment.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what prompted your mother to go into the field of herbal medicine and holistic nutrition?
What specific part of herbal medicine and holistic nutrition sparked your interest in the subject?
