Call Me Zero [Completed]

31: It took you long enough.

It's Saturday today.

Who doesn't love Saturdays? It's a break from school and the people from school. A day when you can just sleep in however long you want. A day when I can do whatever I want as long us I don't get in trouble or die.

Well, at least most Saturdays were like that. Today, I decided to get out to the world. I'm gonna let the light to shine one me.

How do I do that you may ask? Well, easy. By making sure I get into a good college.

I was never interested in being a doctor before. Well, until 9th grade at least, when I started watching medical dramas.

It opened my eyes. I saw a whole other different world. Suddenly, every move that the doctors made were interesting. It was like they were talking in different languages that only them can understand. I felt like they have this connection with one another and I wanted to feel that connection too!

And, that's what I've been working on since I started high school.

On my sophomore year, I took Health Science I. Junior year I took Medical Terminology along with Health Science II. This year, I have Medical Assisting.

I really wanna get in a good college and become a surgeon as soon as possible. But, of course, I'll still do my best and not rush it.

I talked to Mr. Reynolds a lot about this. He always told me to go visit a professor from our local college. Supposedly, professors can help me alot. But, I've never tried to contact one yet. I think it's because I haven't gathered the enough courage and confidence yet.

But, now, being a senior gave me this new sense of. . . how do I say this? New sense of. . . Let's just say confidence

Especially, now that I know Maven is thinking of doing the same thing soneday. Who doesn't want to impress a guy?

Anyway. . .I dressed up and tried to look as proffesional as I could. I wanted the proffesor I'm going to meet to treat me seriously and not just some silly senior who had a big dream.

Mr. Reynolds helped me set up an appointment with him yesterday and thank God he has an opening for today.

I grabbed my purse resting on the floor and looked at myself one more time in the mirror. I was never thin or skinny or curvy. But, I'm not fat as well. Again, if you forgot I'm in that awkward spot in the middle that even my size is complicated. It's always hard to find the perfect size. It's either too big or too small.

But who cares about that?

I walked my way down stairs to my mom. She was always excited to see me so interested in medicine. It was my dad's dream for me to be a doctor. However, I couldn't let him know that I'm finally taking my time and studying medicine. He passed away knowing that I was never gonna take Med-school.

Yeah, I hated the fact that he wanted me to be a doctor. Before high school, I had a different plan set up for my future. I was gonna be a secret agent for a secret organization like the OWCA. You know, like Perry the Platypus except I'm not a Platypus or any type of animal.

But still, if my destiny was to fail at being a neurisurgeon then my back up plan would be being a secret agent.

It's just senior year anyway. I'm sure I'll still have some time to think about my future. Like they said, the unexpected happenings are always the best.

After breakfast--or more like you should do this Angelica, or make sure you impress the professor Angelica-- with my mom, she left for work.

I texted Maven but he wasn't answering. I needed a ride and was kind of annoyed that now that I needed him, he couldn't come. I thought that Marge was too far to be able to get here on time. Why didn't I think about this last night?
