How can I, as a med student, honor my passions and still give myself permission to rest without guilt? Any advice or strategies would mean so much — I really want to find a balance that works. 💛
I’m a med student, and I’ve made up my mind that any spare time I have, I want to put effort into my other passions — filmmaking, writing, acting, and ambassadorship. But saying it out loud now makes me wonder… will I even have space to just relax? I know my free time will be so limited, and I worry that if I take a moment to rest, I’ll feel guilty for not being productive. These passions are such a big part of who I am, and I want to honor them even while I focus on becoming a doctor, but I also want to be able to rest without constantly worrying that I’m wasting time, running out of time, or not using my time wisely. I’d be so grateful for any advice or tips on how to honor my passions while also giving myself permission to rest and recharge without guilt. Your guidance would mean so much to me and really help me find a balance that works. 💛

Life beyond high-school
Life beyond high-school I am currently a junior in high-school and they weren't lying when they said junior year would be a tough year. It's not too, too, bad but ap biology is kicking my behind right now. On top of that I'm not sure of what I would like to do after high-school. I know that I'm going to the army reserves but for college I'm very undecided. I am strongly thinking the medical field but I'm undecided which specialty. Before I wanted to be a pediatrician, I love kids but do I want to make it a profession taking care of kids? Im not sure myself. I'm more interested in behavior and the mind(minus surgery). I was thinking psychiatry, but even then I'm not too sure. I think i may need one on one shadowing with individuals in these fields before deciding on a decision. Any advice for me will be greatly appreciated.

I want to go to Medical School in the UK and eventually live there but I heard their salaries are significantly lower and ideally I would want to make some money not millions but around 200,000 pounds annually is that achievable in London as an orthopedic surgeon if so how, for reference I live in the states right now but medical school here is longer and more expensive so I just want to see where would be better?
I’ve heard about working in private hospitals in London but I’m not sure how much money people make cause the stuff I’ve found online is generally very confusing on numbers.

What sparks one's calling towards a career?
For most teenagers today, its very confusing and mentally challenging choosing a career path for one's whole future. For me, I want to go into the medical field. I am currently in my school's CNA and CMAA certification program. Just this week when I went to a nursing home for hours, the conditions weren't great. It had me thinking of my future and if medical is really where I should go. On the other hand, Summer 2016 I attended a medical camp where I learned skills and important information on health careers. When on a trip to the New York College of Medicine, I held a human heart in my own two hands. I was sure this was my calling. At this point after being hands on, I need reassurance. #medical-practice #medicine #doctor #futuredoctor
