Now to Everyone,I need your input to make a decision now.I am a medical student who has never for one day imagined herself as a practising.
Nothing about it fascinates me at all,i am not so sure how much I can stand blood and all of that.Surprised?That's the story of my life.
My parents are highly placed and established in the medical field,so I know out of good intentions to get me a brighter future,they pushed me in here without knowing it.My brother never liked sciences and they pushed him in there hoping he will study medicine and all hopes were dashed when he blatantly refused,they tried everything to get him to study it with severe rough handling but he refused and they sort of black listed him and shifted the attention to me.
After the episodes,i didn't need to soothsayer to tell me what they wanted from me already.My parents are strict,its their way or nothing but I wasn't complaining,i was young and bright in class and it's the normal Nigerian way that you will do sciences and so I did.
Along the line,I started getting interested in mass communication(i just loved anything that will make me address a crowd, inspire people with speech,television presenting) but out of fear I held it back, completed secondary school and immediately got admission to study medicine.But this exactly where my problem lies.
I got into school, and started getting involved in somethings I loved doing.I started so the medicine won't bore me throughout my stay in school and hopefully acquire enough skills to get in full time after medical school and so through recommendations and recommendations someone approached me with an offer.
He is working with a group of people to create a YouTube channel and according to him, they are not a low budget because he wants something that will meet up with the likes of the best online TV and already have headline sponsors on it,so they want me to take up a segment.
At first I was excited about the offer because it will give me an opportunity to improve,it is really not about what they will pay to me now,and I checked what they wanted and it doesn't take me out of the state my school is within, once a week, about three hours of my time for a each production.
My problem right now is, after the incident with my brother,my parents have their eyes on me.For that single reason,i have decided to get that mbbs degree for them, but even without being told,i know am required to just promote the channel, it's not something I can do hiding, especially with the way they want the channel,my parents are not the type you can sit with and have a decent conversation.They will never understand and I am sure they will see everything as a distraction and ask me to quit.
I am really scared about how they will see the development,i just feel like many of them including other relations are looking out for me because of my parents.Just imagine,my uncle even told my dad to tell me to go off social media because I don't need distractions as a medical student
.Everyone is just on my matter,you know when they say the whole world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.They are indeed waiting for me and so am just having mixed feelings about how people will react.
On other side, the producer is calling for my reply,so we can get a stance on one or two things and begin productions next week.Everyone thinks i have been studying the course with joy in my heart.I don't know if this is supposed to be an opportunity for me overlook and finish school first,or pick it as a blessing.I am 300level by the way and with the grace of God,i have been doing very very well in school till date.
