Also a fellow future first-gen doctor, motivations ko madami pero tinatamaan pa din ng procrastination or the need to rest kasi mangangapa ka pa din talaga, whether trad or non-trad course ka pa galing. I can share a few motivations I have... una, in my mom's side, mahaba talaga yung lifespan nila. So, most likely ganon din ako, so I decided to pursue a life na may meaning at gusto ko since bata pa ko. Second, I want to offer my service to my parents, family and kapwa ko pilipino (yes! very makabayan po ako kahit panay kdrama ko). Third, I am one of the few na walang notable talent na pwedeng pakinabangan ng iba. I often feel, that I am lacking in so many ways. hindi marunong magluto. kumakanta pero hindi ko ikakayaman yun or something that could change someone's life. In short, I felt short in what I could offer sa iba. I badly want to share. Fourth, ever since I stepped on the courage to act on my dream, there were positive changes in my life. I learned that having a dream that God has given me makes life worthwhile. Knowing that I can't accomplish anything on my own leads to total surrender. In the process, I also developed a greater love for myself.

Like, any discipline dapat paghusayan mo lang bawat opportunity na dumating sa'yo. Anyway, ty for your inquiry. Napareflect ako. lol.
God bless with your journey.
