I’ll be honest, becoming a Physician Assistant was
not my first choice. Initially, I thought I wanted to go to medical school and become a doctor. In undergrad, I majored in biology with a chemistry minor and was focused on meeting the prerequisites for medical school. My grades were
decent. I say decent because I did not have a 4.0 and I did not always do well in my classes (
I’m just not a fan of physics or organic chemistry). After graduation, I immediately took the MCAT without real preparation, four months later I attempted to the test again. Needless to say, it did not go so well. However, I didn’t give up. I enrolled in MCAT prep classes and spent a lot of money on study material. Two years go by and I still haven’t made any real moves towards “my dream”. I didn’t feel defeated, but something just didn’t feel right about what I was trying to pursue. It took a minute but I realized I wasn’t putting in the necessary work to get into medical school. Not because I’m lazy, but I just did not want to. I was putting all of this unnecessary stress on my life to pursue something that I was no longer sure I wanted.
