Long story short...
-got married at 17, had a baby girl, divorced him at 18,got my nursing licence, single mom, he is out of the picture (physically, emotionally, financially.. he doesn't see her--his choice)...
My dream is and always was : cardiovascular surgeon
My reality is: I have a daughter (no support, parents live far away..so it's me and her all alone)...
She is 7 yrs old now,my biggest concern is that I won't be there for my daughter during my dream persuasion. Im the only person she depends on.
I only have one chance to raise her right, be there for her and by persuing my dream career I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to give her what she needs..."her mom".
Who will be there for her when she gets home from school?
Who will tuck her in at night?
How will I be able to be "mom", nurse, med school student without having my child being raised by "strangers"?
It has been a constant battle since she was born... I applied to med school 2 times already, got accepted and rejected the offer..
My daughter's quality of life vs.my dream career...
