LIBRE LANG MANGARAP
When I was a little girl and people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I only had one answer, and with unmatched conviction: I want to be a doctor!
As I grew up a little older, for some unknown reason (it was eons ago, I couldn’t remember anymore), I lost touch of my great doctor dream. Suddenly, I wanted to be a lawyer. I was obsessed with this dream for so long. If there was one thing I was so sure of what I would become in the future, that one thing was that, I would be a lawyer. Nothing and no one could stop me.
When I was in high school, I sort of had the chance to go directly to med school. For a while, I was torn between my two great dreams, but I gracefully let go of med school because I was so convinced law was my passion.
And then things suddenly went full circle…
One day, I just woke up wanting to be a brain surgeon, with the conviction of that little girl from my far away past.
Damn, those medical series I am addicted to! Now what, Meredith Grey? Gregory House? Fictional blame for fictional people.
Currently, I’m stuck in my glitzy media world I always thought of as just a temporary career. And until I’ve had enough money, I’m stuck.
Seriously, how will I ever be a brain surgeon? How about a brain surgeon lawyer? How about a brain surgeon lawyer writer? How about a brain surgeon lawyer writer and mother of a child prodigy?
Seriously!
