My Planning Wall
Exercise #1: Interviewing Role Models
The last role model that i decided to interview is Feyishola Tijani. She graduated from college a year ago with a degree in biology and says that she plans to some day go to medical school. Feyi didn't have the grades that were up to the standards that some medical schools wanted and is taking a program for students who plan to go to medical school in the near future. The program is really intense and at the end of the two year program most of them are often accepted into the a medical school of their choice. Feyi said that she had a great deal of trouble taking the required science classes while completing her undergraduate degree. At times she said that she felt like giving up and even changing her major to something that she thought was a lot "easier". She said that this happened numerous times,often around the times she was feeling very stressed about a particualr course that was giving her great difficulty. She figured that if this was the path that she really wanted to take she would have to have the patience and the determination to do so. She said that she would review notes, after lectures and labs,and problems or questions she had she went to the proffesor with or took it to tutoring with her.Talking with Feyi was actually very refreshing especailly after i decided on the path that i really want to take in my life. I know that im going to get discouraged and feel like changing majors a million more times, but I'm just going to have to work very hard and do everything and anything that'll make the process for me less stressful.

Exercise#3:Complete your first step
Last week one of my goals was to speak with my parents about which path i really wanted tp pursue in life. It was between becoming a teacher and a pediatrician. I've always wanted to become a doctor,but when I started college, i realized i was having a lot of trouble with the science classes, so i started to second guess myself. When i first told my mom that i was thinking of changing my major to education she acted as though she was fine with it,but i could tell that she wasn't very happy at all. That was very discouraging for me so i never spoke about the major change again. After talking with my home group about the situation i decided to speak with my parents about it. I sat them down and told them about all the difficulty i was having with the science classes and how i didn't know if becoming a doctor was really my passion. I also told my mom how when i came to her about being a teacher she really made me feel bad because it was like she wasn't supportive at all. She went on to explain that it wasn't that she wsn't supportive it was just that she was a little disappointed with me because she didn't want me to give up,because she knows deep down inside that i can do it. I agreed with mom and decided that im going to stick with my major and work hard at the classes now and in the future that'll bring me difficulty.
