When you glow up you grow up


When you glow up you grow up for me I learned so much from what career to the kind of donuts I eat or I just don’t touch. I had this project where I had to state what I wanted to be, to be honest, at first there was much uncertainty. When I was younger I always said a pharmacist, but the truth was I wasn’t completely sure of it. As kids, we’re always forced to say what it is we want to do, but we have no experience so, how are we going to choose? How would we know, if we would love it and stick with it? does it have any benefits? Would I get sick of it? So during the project I witnessed the growth, when I did research to pick what I chose. An OBGYN growing up, never in the plan but when I did research, and my cousin gave birth to her baby girl, it made me look differently at this world. I was lost in infatuation and how her cute toes curled. This is what I want to be, me, this is the future I see, Obstetrician gynecology! My glow up helped me to grow up putting me on the right trajectory, teaching me what I wanted to be, and to take steps I once couldn’t see.
