I want to be good looking.  :( :( :(

I want to be a billionaire.   :( :( :(

Are you sure you really, really want to be a doctor?

Yes sir, a pediatrician to be specific.

love, judy

I don't have a "pre-occupation," except being a student. My issue is i'm so EASILY distracted and I have a hard time finding the motivation to study and or study for long periods of time, which is often required for the matarial i'm required to know.

My mind wonders easily, I have a hard time staring at a page of words without having my mind wonder all over or completely leaving the page and doing something else.

Ill find any reason to do anything but study, whether its playing video games for hours, watching t.v., playing guitar, just talking with someone online etc..

I don't do it on purpose either and that's what drives me nuts, i can't find the motivation or the ability to do the studying i'm required to.

Its wierd because with a video game infront of me, i can sit there for hours and not lose concetration etc.. but when it comes to words on a page i can so easily lose focus and wander to something else. I also like to study with music on, which usually helps me relax and calm my mind but my dad says its a bad idea..

I don't know >.>

I would throw my computer out the window if I had the strength to, and If I had some friends that I could socialize with in person but almost all my friends are online. I don't reallly have any friends i can hang out with in person and socialize with, so if i did throw my computer out the window, i'd lose just about all human contact for socializing with the exception of maybe one or two people that i don't see often and my brothers and family, but I think we all need more then that.

arion:
God often speaks through circumstances.  If your going to be a doctor as you well know your going to have to be able to study and concentrate.  If you can't then maybe there is a message in there for you.  God can get you into medical school if he wants you to be in there.  It's not a problem for him.  No use in getting down on yourself.  God has a plan for you but it might not be as a doctor.  Nothing wrong with being a paramedic or myriads of other things in the medical field which doesn't require the grueling pace of study that a M.D. does.  One thing I know is that God will get you where you need to be when you need to be there even if in the midst of it the way is dark as night.

Craig:
For a young man in your shoes I would recommend looking into the Air Force.  I was like you and could not focus in school, I grew up became more goal oriented and finished my degree in the Air Force, I went from being a C student in college to an A-B student.

I would not recommend the other branches though, too military for me.

Don't be so down on yourself Alex ~ :)

I am sure God  has a wonderful path and plan for your life.

God lives in you.  "I am with you always, even unto the end of time" are not just pretty words. They are Truth.
