If you just want to cuddle newborns, a noble goal by the way, why not just volunteer at a hospital?  If you really want to be a doctor, you will have to deal with sick children, sometimes those who are desperately ill. If the thought of that is too distressing, perhaps you need to find some other way to work with infants, such as a pediatric nurse or child life specialist.  \n\nYou sound very young -- have you ever talked to people who are doing the work you might want to do and discussed the educational commitment, personal sacrifices, emotional stresses, and personal rewards of their professions?  You should consider doing so.

Have you considered doing a physician assistant program or a pharmacy program?  Not only would the requirements be less stringent for those programs, but PAs and pharmacists spend  time w/patients and help them w/their medical problems so you'd still have the satisfaction of helping people.\n\nIf you really, strongly feel that you should be a doctor though, go for it!  Try to shadow some doctors and see what they do and don't do, which is a big plus for anyone looking to enter any profession.  I'm a law student who doesn't have good grades but I got a great unpaid internship last summer where I actually got to help draft legal documents and listen to clients and other such things to see if I still want to be a lawyer.  Consider spending a day or two w/your family doctor.  And put this kind of experience on your med school application so schools can see how serious and determined you are to be a doctor.  Even if they don't like your grades, they'll at least admire your determination.

Hey.. you sound so sweet! \n\nSometimes you need to step out of your comfort zone and face your true fears. If you dont your not really going to grow and develop.\n\nI really dont see what options you have in this situation. Be confident, relax and have fun and people will want to be around you.\n\nGood luck

You don't really get over the fear until you do it. Just before you go in, take a deep breath, think positive, be calm. The more you worry, the worse it is. If you look away, close your eyes, and just breathe while they are doing it, it doesn't hurt. ;)\n\nHope this helps,\nAshley

To be a medical doctor, you have to be trained in a medical school. It is a long and arduous process. \n\nTo prepare for this, one should study as hard as possible in school and get good grades, especially in the sciences. One should study biology if possible. If you can get some sort of internship ahead of time helping in a medical lab, it can be helpful.

Very few people stick with one career for their whole lives.  Pick the thing that is most interesting to you now and pursue that.  As long as you're doing something you enjoy, you can pursue the other things you like as hobbies.  If you decide to change jobs, there will be time for that later, and you will get to do more than one of the things you enjoy.\n\nUnless you're looking at something that will take years and years of preparation--such as medical school--you need not feel as if you're making a permanent committment.  (And even then, you still have options.  I knew a guy who went all the way through medical school and then decided he didn't want to be a doctor.  He went back and did dental school; he loves being a dentist.)

I would suggest that you improve your spelling and grammar before you consider applying for a university.\nAlso try reading what you have written. You won't get to be a doctor unless you can understand the language and are fluent in it.

Well, first of all, look at what you're scared of. Are you scared of the change? Friends? The teachers? The homework? Then ask yourself why you are scared, make a list of the things that scare you about them. Once you have that down on paper, it will seem like less of a challenge, and now you have a list of things you can work on to overcome. Dropping out is the easy thing to do, and really, no one gets far in this life without hard work. I know, last thing you want to hear, but you will not regret futhering your education. If you can absolutely not stand your classmates, talk to a counselor or a teacher and see if there is any way you can do independent studies/online/Saturday classes. There is always a solution to everything.

You can be thirty and a doctor, or thirty and not a doctor.  If you're lucky, you will eventually be thirty anyway, and you might as well have achieved a dream like becoming the physician you want to be by that time.  And lots of physicians have children, so one doesn't rule out the possibility of the other.  Life will be stressful, but stress isn't always a bad thing.  In fact, the stress of achieving is often less than the stress of not being in control of your own life, so you can be stressed and happy too.  I'm assuming that you are still young, and if I were you, I would go for it.  You can always change your mind later on if you realize this is not really the life you wanted for yourself, but don't sell yourself short by giving up now.

By conquering your fear. Do one step at a time. \nFor Example:\n1. You are a shy person, you are afraid to make friends. What do you do? The next time you enter an elevator.. just say "Hi, how are you?" and when the person replied back, continue the conversation. If the person didn't answer, don't be despaired or embarrassed because chances are the person is as shy as you. Soon you realised.. you are not that shy anymore.\n\n2. You are not good with maths! Practice and the key is to understand the concept. Many refused to practice because they refused to learn the concept and without practice nothing helps. Once you get the first question right, you feel challenge and accomplished and soon you will be good with it.\n\n3. This is my own experience. I am so afraid to reformat my laptop because i never did it before and it was infected with spy ware. The advise I get from friends " Gees, very troublesome..can be complicated etc.etc. Why not ask the expert to do it?? it will cost you a couple of hundreds" Then i read the manual, it seems so easy and I think of the worst thing that can happen if i messed up. After evaluating the risk..I just took the step to do it and follow the instructions on the screen. It is as easy as ABC...nothing genius about it. It took only my time because I had to reinstall everything..my programs and the anti virus etc. All in all I spent a good 2hrs before my laptop run just like new.\n\nRemember, there is a saying... you built a house one stone at a time :)

I really wonder if deep down you are afraid.   You want this success but are you nervous as to whether you are capable.  Do you have self doubt?  If this is the case then write out a step by step plan and take that first step.   Three years from now where would you like to be?  How will you feel if you are not there or at another place where you feel content with yourself?\n\nIt sounds like you need to do some confidence building first.   You really can reach your goals but you have to be brave and begin the journey and when the journey gets tough....you get tough too.\n\nGood luck

Just keep doing what your coach says you are doing right, until you are comfortable with it. Repitition is the key..just keep doing it until yuo have done it so much, that its as easy as breathing. Thats the only way to get rid of your fears!
