Male Female

I was born and raised in India, and according to the common trend, it was customary for parents to wish for their child to become a doctor, and mine were no different. Ever since my childhood, they tried to persuade me to become a doctor. However, due to this constant pressure, I developed hostility towards the profession. After I completed high school, they tried to force me into enrolling in a medical course, which I opposed. I decided to go in another direction. I chose to pursue a degree and then figure out what to do afterwards. This decision was met with heavy resistance. However, eventually, they went along reluctantly. Ultimately, the decision worked in my favor, as I was able to graduate with high scores, and currently, I am thinking of pursuing further studies abroad. I hope this decision will also bring me good fortune. Thank you.
