John Rusevlyan - Florence Rotary Club

Honors Forum II: November 12, 2012

I'm beginning to notice a recurring pattern between myself and the speakers in forum. I only remember things they say that are completely unrelated to civic engagement. Oops. 

Nevertheless, Mr. Rusevlyan was no exception to this pattern. At some point during forum he said something that was a little unnerving to me. He said, "After you graduate, don't expect to find a job within your major." *GASP* This is where my heart attack commenced. Fortunately, he followed that up with, "..unless you're planning on going to medical school or something." Phew! That was a close one. Guess I'm in the clear!

It's funny to think of how many different majors and careers I have considered since I started college. It's even funnier that I'm only a first semester sophomore. But the one career I always come back to (and have for as long as I can remember) is Medicine. I have always wanted to be a doctor deep down, but the level of difficulty and cost of tuition were planted in the back of my mind. I know that if I choose to pursue another career, I'll always wonder if I could have been a great doctor who changed, or even saved lives. So as of right now, I'm making it a mission to find out.

Always, Kalee
