Personal Diary

The Beginning

Hi, my name is Amilee and this is my story. I am 15 years old and I have been through more than I should. I don't live in a box nor a mansion. I live in a little place called Kansas. I have so many things on my mind while writing this but let me take you to the beginning first. I was born in Wesley Hospital at 3:32 am, six pounds and one ounce. I have always grew up as pretty happy, my parents used to fight a lot growing up so when they didn't, I tried to cherish it as much as possible (my parents are really important in the story later on). As life went on, my parents had three more kids as well, though the second baby died as it was still in the fetus, but the other kids are fine. I ended up having two brother, ages 12 and 6. We have fights and arguments but it's okay, I guess we still love each other. I didn't have a life long dream or anything during my childhood, I just kinda wanted to do what everyone else wanted to do. For example, my friend and I really wanted to be in either band or orchestra in the 5th grade, so I decided that I wanted to do orchestra but my friend wanted to do band. So, I changed my mind and switched over to band and played the clarinet with her. It was fun but then I dropped out in the middle of eighth grade. I had no idea what I was going to do in the future, all I could think of was travel but traveling took money and if I didn't have a job how could I get money? So I started to think about what I love or what I always tend to do and I just hit me. Doctor! I wanted to be a doctor. Ever since I can remember I have always helped someone if they were hurt or bleeding. If you had a simple nose bleed, you can count on my running to you even if the nose bleed didn't hurt. I continued to try and pursue my career. I kept wanting to learn more and more about the body but then I thought about it, do I really want to check people to see if their sick or have a sore throat, no! I went on and tried to pursue a dream of an ER doctor. I still wanted to stay in the medical field because I knew that that's what I was made for, but I just wanted it to be more exciting and thrilling. When I was younger, I have always loved working with kids (even if I was a kid), and it was just the best. My first ever dream career was a teacher because it would've felt good to be inspiring to so many young children who will go on and become something amazing. So, I thought about it, what if I worked with kids and still be in the medical field. Then I knew it, A PEDIATRIC SURGEON!! Ever since then, I haven't changed my dream career. I have been wanting to be a pediatric surgeon for four years and it hasn't changed one bit. I continue everyday to learn about every possible thing in the body. I take every advanced class that I can to get into my dream school and to further myself in my career. I think about my dream career every single day and there hasn't been one millisecond that I haven't thought about it, and that's pretty much where my story begins. Enjoy:)
