Morning Drive

When I drive to school in the morning, this will sound kind of bad, but I'm pretty much out of it. It's just a routine by now and I just end up finding myself thinking about stuff. The other morning I thought about what it feels like to know that nobody has faith in you. Mostly the people that care about you and should.
My family pretty much doesn't care that I'm going to be in school for the next eight or nine years slowing working toward my doctorate in Oriental Medicine/Acupuncture. I thought since it was something big they would show they cared. I guess that because I dropped out of a couple different schools and changed my major they don't have faith. But, a good of the population changes their major at least once. I just didn't know what I wantedto do.
Now I finally know what I want to do and I'm very excited about it. I'm also very scared. I haven't been in school for five years and being back has really hit me in the face. I definitely have to get back into the swing of things. The two things that are allowing me to believe that I can actually do this is that I have to think more about how much I love what I will be doing more than about how scared I am if I can do it or not. The second thing is the fact that my family doesn't believe in me pushes me to want to do it even more.

I have faith in you Beth! I can sympathize with a couple things you say here...I've been motivated by people who have doubted me, and I also admit to zoning out while driving to school in the morning.
