Myself

I'm a 23 year-old english major with authority issues, anxiety issues, and I am in this class to pick up an ECCE requirement. I've actually had a previous African American studies class called African American Women's literature. My career goals are actually in the medical field, so my coursework is split between chemistry and english, which actually works out much better for me as I am an extremely slow and deliberate writer who has a lot of problems hitting deadlines and producing.

I'm applying for medical school next april, fulfilling a dream that started a few years back when I dropped out of SIUE. I attended college after my high school graduation, but I never really got a real direction and should have probably never gone. I attended under many false assumptions, including the assumption that I would "find" a direction, and it wasn't until I had worked and lived on my own that I realized that college requires  commitment and the thing that you find isn't direction but the ability to work and live in spite of that lack. Life's a sandbox, as they say.
