Hello there, to tell you a little about myself when I was little I never dreamed of becoming a doctor; however when I got into my teens I started to realize how much I wanted to help people. It became even more apparent when my father had a grand mal seizure in front of me and my brother. 4 years later my mother had a severe heart attack. Life seemed to solidify what I was meant to do. Well you know how life goes nothing is perfect and well high school was a chore considering that I have dyslexia and a learning comprehension disability but passing with a 3.3 GPA, so college ended up being the same, although I failed. I never even thought of medical after high school nor college. I then got into optics which helped to kick start me into a great area of my life but there was nudge for more in my heart. This feeling of I could do more. I got an opportunity to work in a hospital as receptionist in the emergency department. I fell in love with my work. I could not leave somedays because I wanted to be there to help. I would have worked even if I was not getting paid. Now I am a certified medical assistant and want to go back to school to become that elusive doc. I do have 1 child which she will start school in 2 years, so I thought I would go back to a community college and do my pre-med courses there, then if all goes to plan(which sometimes never does)I would go to University of Washington.
I would like to know with me being 33 years old is it possible? Is it possible with me having dyslexia and a learning disability to follow my dream?
Thank you for reading my post
Sincerely
PJB
