Hey :D Dude I suggest you to not think about the years it will take to reach your goal because the amount of years to reach your goal is not waseful, education will never be wasteful because it is worth it :) Go for it! Do what you like and use confidence and effort to guide you ;D ... View more

I feel your pain bro. I was in the same sitituation. When did you move? Start of the year or during the year? It takes time to meet the friends you are looking for, especially in high school. Don't stress about your old friends - keep in touch the best you can but remember they might not be permanent. Talk and hang out with a variety of peeps, get to know alot of people - they don't nessarily need to be in the same year group but same year group would be better. Be polite to people cuz that is what friends are looking for. Don't hang out with those rebelish peeps, they will be a bad influence etc and you might have to do stuff you don't want to do to fit in wit them. Yeah, hope my advice is useful and tell us how you go. You don't need a massive load of friends to start with, start with one and after that, your number of friends will grow ;D Good luck bro ...

Coming back to this thread I made has always been in the back of my mind for most days. The people here are fantastic! All of the people that have commented have made me feel really positive and excited to pursue my degree. The advice is just so considerate and gives me strong indications that people believe in me and make me really want to go for my dreams with all that I have. I cannot thank you enough!(you being everyone who has commented on my cause and everyone who continues to add their valued and much appreciated input into this very thread!) Doris, the advice you are giving me to go into science sounds like a really great idea. In my previous schooling I never did much science. But this doesn't mean I'm not going to venture into this area that is in so many ways fundamental to a medical degree. Medicine simply is a science! I'll definitely keep this in mind, and thank you for your input in that regard! The next step would be to go to a university at some point and speak to a careers counsellor about doing a science degree. I can see why you suggest this. As I have been out of study for some years maybe going straight into a more difficult discipline in medicine might not be the best choice right away (but not to say forever!), if I was to go into a degree like science or perhaps a bachelor in social work (something else I thought would be a good complimentary degree) would be a good starting point, so I can get a feel for University, adapting to the independent study that comes with a University degree and what ever else comes with studying Universities. Don't worry Doris, that can do attitude is something that is going to stand right by my side for the term of my long life. Looking forward to hearing from you again! ... View more
