I was thinking the other day about a Gator football game that I went to last year. I can still hear the crazy crowd as they cheer and do the Gator chomp. The entire time at the game I felt like I really belonged there. I didn't really get to see much of the campus, other than that it was beautiful. It wasn't really the campus or the game that got me though. It was the band. I saw the Gator Flag line and I fell completely in love. I don't really know if it was because they were awesome, or if it was just because I miss spinning a flag and dancing. Either way, it felt good. Ever since I started watching countless Gator videos, I have realized that going to UF would be AMAZING.
I used to want to go there back in 10th grade, but something changed my mind. Tessa and I were going to go there together. We literally had everything planned out. I miss dreaming like that. So, I am going to make it my goal to make it into UF. I know it is going to be difficult, but I am sooo determined. Anything to get me on that flag line, that spotlight. Performing in front of 10,000's of people would be so fulfilling. I never really got that moment in Cabot flag line where you have shivers going up your spine. I think it would be amazing.
Another thought I was having was when I first started wanting to do something medical related. My Aunt Judy was in the hospital, and I was spending my entire winter break with her. Then one day I just stopped in the middle of the hospital, and looked around. I could see Doctors and nurses walking graceful and confident. A feeling of belonging kind of swooped over me. I ignored this feeling, and now I kind of wish I hadn't. I should have embraced the fact that I was contemplating over a different career opportunity.
As for why I have decided to go toward the Forensic Pathology side of the medical field, I have no clue. I found it when I was doing some stupid career interest test and when I looked it up, I was hooked. I think University of Florida could get me there. I have decided not to even make goals about medical school or graduate school. I just want to take it one day at a time. I might change my mind, and I am o.k with that. I used to think it was a curse to not know what you want to do with your life, but I am finding it to be kind of fulfilling. All I do know, is that I want to be a University of Florida student. And I am going to try my hardest to get in. I know it will difficult, and I realize that I need to change my study habits, but I want to do this.
P.s. The whole 'What Matters The Most' thing is over. :P I got a little bored with it.
