Why did you choose to study medicine? What are your motivations?

As a teen I really loved biology, and I didn't picture me working in a office helping other people to get rich. I really feel that my job is important because you can help people in a way that may impact their lifes. Now I'm just struggling to sit through all this info teachers "throw" at us and choose and specialty.

I didn't know what I wanted to do after high school so I took 2 things I was interested in, linguistics and helping people, and came up with studying Speech Pathology.

I dropped out of college after one semester at university, though. After working at a school, then a pharmacy for a while, then living on an anarchist commune, I now work at a pharmacy again but have decided to go into ESL education when I return to school. However I still feel an interest in doing medical-related things, for example, I'd like to be a sign language interpreter for deaf patients.

The human body, especially the brain, is incredibly amazing to me. Growing up my brother was in med school, so he had a lot of textbooks lying around. When I was like 15 I was really depressed and thought I could find the answer in those books, so I'd read about psychology and pharmacology all day. They couldn't fix my problems, but as it turned out I apparently loved pharmacology and neurology with a passion. Instead I just escaped my problems in those books, reading them obsessively.
The only problem is that I'm ADD as fuck so when it comes to all the intermediary steps it takes to become a doctor, like taking anatomy classes and other boring shit, I have an incredibly difficult time. But give me a book about pharmacology and I'll happily read it until I can recite back to you everything line word for word. So for now I just work until I can do it. Because there's nothing else I can really see myself enjoy doing.

tldr; passion
