Catching Up // September 2024

I've been absent for quite some time now, being busy traveling with friends and family and recovering from my finals. During these months, quite a few academic goals of mine have changed - something I did not expect to happen.

⭑ I realized that I want to keep my career path a bit more open ~ so I decided to apply for psychology and medicine at University. This also means preparing and taking two admissions tests in May of next year.

⭑ I've switched from volunteering at a psychiatric ward to volunteering at the hospital in the area of pediatric oncology (cancer in children) for 11 months

⭑ I will not write the Cambridge C2 Proficiency Exam this November ~ but will try to prepare for it anyways at a slow, steady pace in order for me to take it in a few years time (when I might actually need it to apply for a year abroad)

Keeping my path open also means being highly ambitious with my life, approaching competitive areas with a certain audacity and grit. It means deciding what kind of life I want to live, it's choosing my struggles and prioritizing my own path before fleeting pleasures and relationships. It is setting myself up for success and ensuring that I reach the potential that I know I have.
