My parents want me to become a doctor.

UCLA is your dream school, they say. We made sacrifices and came to America so you could have a better life. You need to work hard and get a good job, so you don't end up like us. Doctor is a good choice. They make a lot of money.

When did money equal happiness?

What if I don't know what I want to be? Would they accept that? Or would it be an opportunity to force me to follow their dreams?

If I go along with their plan, will I ever find my passion? Why can't I be passionate about something? Everyone makes it seem so easy to find something they love doing. What about me? Is there something wrong with me?
