Connect/Art Careers
Sorry Coach Hall, but I have zero interest in pursuing an art career in the future. I look forward of attending a liberal college/university such as Emory & Henry College and other liberal arts colleges. As a graduate student, I would like to pursue a PhD in neurology and hopefully become a neurosurgeon. I have been to many hospital because my brother had two major brain surgeries such as a hemisphere rectory which is cutting half of your brain out to stop the circuit of neurotransmitters that causes seizures that cause my brother to drop on the floor and laugh uncontrollably. He sometime hits his head on the hard wood in our kitchen and scares me so much because my parents and I are helpless in this situation. We can only stand there and roll Owen to one side of his body and rest his head on a pillow that he does not choke on his spit or blood. He loses control of his voluntary motions and sometimes bites his lip that draws blood from his mouth. Sometimes he has two minute seizures that are life threatening and he has to take an anal shot that paralyzes him temporarily. Thankfully, Owen is secure free for two years this December, because we spent the whole Christmas week and Xmas week in a Children’s hospital in Norfolk.
I have a friend’s mother’s sister that also has epilepsy that suffered from seizures and causes her to move involuntarily so she cannot support herself. She cannot drive and lives with her husband in her parents’ house. I do not want Owen to end up like this or worse yet, live with me!!!! >_<
I hope Owen finds someone that he loves and that someone reciprocates those feelings and properly takes care of him.
I have also spend last year’s Xmas in the hospital because of my mom. She suffered from a hereditary disease that cause her to be in pain for a very long time. Bless her because she is no longer in pain.
I have also been in the emergency room because of a really bad asthma reaction that gave me hives and I could not breathe. It sacred me so bad!!! Also, I was in the emergency room because I was in a car accident due to black ice. Fortunately, I was unscathed but I suffered from PTSD and had to see a pastoral therapist. She was the worst and didn’t understand me! She kept on judging me about how little I know about God and my faith/relationship to him. She was so judge mental that it pushed me to bottle up my feelings and thoughts inside. I hated her with a passion!!!
I have met the number one neurosurgeon on the East Coast Calle Dr. Morton. He is so smart bu really nerd; his children are also graduates of mlwgs and have successful careers in medicine.
I believe I have the confidence in pursuing neurology and become a neurosurgeon because I am dexterous and I have an inclination in learning about the brain and psychology.
I really do not want a career in the arts because I do not think it is a sustainable nor viable choice as a career for me. It is the most unstable, guaranteed career and does not appease my needs and concerns. It scares me to know that a career that I spent money and time in college does not pay back in return a wealthy, successful, or sustainable career option. Uncertainty scares me.
