I want to tell you a true story.
This young man, wanted to go to medical school, so badly, but his grades were just fair. So he applied, was turned down, the first year, and he got another degree, i cant remember, what it was, a master in pharmacy, but something to do with medicine, he improved himself, and then he applied again, got turned down. It’s hard to get into medical school, so he improved himself again, got his masters in something else, then applied again, a 3rd time, got turned down, then got another masters degree in something, applied again, but this time, he went to the house of the Dean of Admissions, and sat at his door step the entire night. When the dean walked out, to go to work the next day, he found Joe sitting on his porch step. He asked joe , what he was doing? And joe said, “sir, with all due respect, i want to become a doctor and will do anything to get in, so please tell me , what i need to do to get in. I will do it. The dean shook his head, and said, Joe, your grades are not good enough, and i dont know if you would be able to make it through medical school.” Joe stood tall, and faced the Dean, and looked him , right in to the eyes, and said, “i dont know either, but i want that chance to find out”. The Dean shook his head, and and walked off to work. Joe applied again, and got in.
The moral of the story, follow your passion to wherever it takes you.
