As I sit here in my childhood bedroom, surrounded by the familiar sights and smells of home, I can't help but feel a sense of emptiness wash over me.

Just a few years ago, I had everything planned out meticulously.

I was going to become a doctor, following in my father's footsteps, making him proud.

But life had other plans for me.

When my father passed away suddenly during my second year of college, everything changed.

The grief was suffocating, consuming every part of me.

Suddenly, my dreams of becoming a doctor seemed trivial compared to the overwhelming loss I felt.

I couldn't focus on my studies, no matter how hard I tried. Biology, once my passion, became a distant memory.

I made the agonizing decision to leave college, to come home and be with my family during our time of need.

But even now, as the days turn into weeks and the weeks into months, I find it impossible to pick up where I left off.

The thought of going back to school, of pursuing my dream without my father by my side, feels like an insurmountable task.

I know he would want me to keep chasing my dreams, to not let his passing hold me back.

But how can I?

"When every step forward feels like a betrayal of the man who believed in me more than anyone else?"

So for now, I sit in this room, surrounded by memories of happier times, trying to find a way to move forward without losing myself in the process.

As if losing my father wasn't enough, the revelation of his infidelity and greed shattered the image I had of him.

My mother, unable to bear the betrayal, left shortly after his passing, leaving me to navigate the aftermath alone.

It was a double blow, realizing that not only had I lost my father, but...

"I had also lost the illusion of the loving, devoted family I had grown up believing in."

Witnessing the pain my mother endured at the hands of my father's selfishness only strengthened my resolve not to follow in his footsteps.

I refuse to let his mistakes define me.

Instead, I am determined to honor my father's memory by becoming the kind of person he never was-a compassionate and caring individual who puts others before himself.

Becoming a doctor isn't just about fulfilling a childhood dream.

It's about using my knowledge and skills to make a difference in people's lives.

"It's about being there for those who are suffering, offering them hope and healing in their darkest moments."

It's about proving that goodness and kindness still exist in a world tainted by greed and deceit.

So despite the pain and uncertainty that surrounds me, I cling to the hope that one day I will achieve my goal.

Not for the sake of my father, or even for myself, but for all those who need someone to believe in them, just as my father once believed in me.
