Friends are for life and true friends changes your life for good and a treasure to your life! I had 2 such friends since my school life whom I have always kept in heart - no matter how far we are. We have always been each other's support system and not only helped each other in need but bullied too. We are the 3 musketeers - Me, Atrayee and Gurpreet.

I have always been very keen for choosing medical as my career option but thanks to my darling friends and my chemistry teacher I didn't and I am quite happy now. During our school days, we used to go to private classes for chemistry and this is were the story started -
I was very keen in studies and wanted to join medical as I have many doctors in my family and that gave me the inspiration to become one. My parents always motivated me to take up medical as my career as this has almost become our family tradition to produce doctors (insane I know). I was always in books and worried for my marks a lot and this was the time I completely forgot my friends and as they say - "All work and no play, makes jack a dull boy". My fiends discussed this with our chem teacher, who after our class got over asked me to stay for some time as he wanted to talk.
We had a small but effective conservation -
He : So Anu! What's going in your life?
Me : Everything's fine Sir, I am very worried for my pre-medical exams
He : Are you very serious about taking up medical? Can you operate anyone? Blood?
Me : Don't know Sir. Maybe I can
He : Maybe? You are deciding for your future and you're not sure, take a deep breath and think, Why you want to become a doctor?
Me : Our family has many doctors and I am very inspired from them
He : So what? If your family menders are doctor that does not force you to become one either.
Me : You're right Sir, but my parents want me to see as a doctor and take the legacy forward.
He : Just think and understand - right now you are just preparing for the exams and have almost forgotten your friends, with friends I mean your best friends; and till you become a full-fledged doctor you will be alone with no friends by your side and these heavy, bulky books will literally piss of your brain. If you want to learn about medical - go for biotechnology or micro-biology, that's much better. At least you would be relaxed that you have chosen something in respect to medicines.
Me : In deep thought
My friends came in and gave me moral support and ask me to think about the last time I was stress free and enjoyed last few months of school with them. I was speechless because it has been 7-8 months since I did mischievous things with them and irritated everyone with my stupid question, etc. I was in complete tears and thanked my Sir for showing me the right way. Being doctor was not important for me, because I was losing the child in me and getting away from not only my friends but also my sister and parents. My Sir cleared my situation to my parents too and they understood my trouble and asked me to fulfill my ambition my way. And here I am - I did Bio-technology, then did a diploma for Software Engineering and now I am a Beauty Blogger :p Confused I know!
For me, Just a simple talk with my teacher enlighten my mind and my inner self and helped me choose the right ambition in my life. Its truly said, 'Teachers are next to parents and their learning and preaching help you become a good person'. Last but not the least, my friends have always been my ray of hope and strength. We are very far from each other, don't talk regularly but love each other a lot.
