My oldest wants to be a doctor

Posted by Lisa Russell Jan 26, 2009

I mean, how many people really make it as professional singers? And, of those that do, how many would I be proud to have as a daughter? She's far too sweet and straight-laced to be a Britney Spears. (Why do always imagine the worst?) SO- our winter spent watching house marathons has paid off in a big way. She's been studying the human body and all its systems and functions, memorizing latin words for body fluids and creating a plan that gets her into medical school. I am impressed and grateful that she's wanting to take advantage of our state's Running Start program that allows high schoolers to take courses at the community college and earn dual credits, so they can graduate high school with their first two years of college under their belt. The best part is, it's free. whew. 6 years to go.
