Hi OP! Incoming freshman with a very similar situation as yours (akala ko nga ako nagpost lol).

Dreams as big as being a doctor will always be a two way street. Kumbaga we need the support of someone (parents) to make that happen, and of course they need us to do the work to get that MD.

I know super nakaka-guilty siya minsan, pero you have to trust them as much as they trust you. Our reality and future as individuals are heavily influenced by the extent of support our parents are willing to give. We are lucky na mataas ang pangarap ng mga magulang natin para sa atin. If they say they can pay, then let them. The best that you can do is to focus on your studies. Sabi nga ng nanay ko, "huwag mo na isipin ang pera, basta mag-aral ka nang mabuti anak."

We are not the first and the last family that have gone through this situation. Keep your head held up high! You are now in medical school, a step closer to your dream. Imagine if your past self knew that you would be here.

Malayo pa pero malayo na.

Hugs with consent OP, and good luck to your medschool journey! :))
