Being brought up as a single child though I had a brother studying in India and me with my parents in Saudi,my parents always had great expectations and hopes for me! But the fact was I was not that bright student and the only talent I had was talking.😛 In 12th,I had no other option than humanities as my stream of choice because I was bad in science and extremely weak in maths(so no no commerce!😂)I studied so hard that I wanted to become a lawyer and bring a change in my family.
But god's decision was different and just before my boards my father got hospitalized and was sent back to India for further treatment.Despite all the problems I somehow managed to get 92% and became one of the toppers of my school and got 98 for psychology.My full family members took the decision that I should study psychology so that I get a merit seat in some college.😌
Though I never hated the subject I was not confident whether I could study psychology and become a psychologist.Because deep inside I knew I wanted to become "Adv Alby" and not "Dr Alby".🤭 But that's how fate is,we don't know what is going to happen to us the next moment and the only thing we can do is believe in God,live in the present and go with the flow. I have no regrets for taking psychology as my subject indeed I am grateful to everyone specially my family and friends who believed in me when I didn't.The more I study psychology,the more curious I get.Psychology is a magical subject,though u may find it boring,trust me,the more you study psychology,the difference u can create in others life is huge! Like I always believe.
Be a diary in someone's life. There is nothing more happier than knowing someone is happy and the reason behind that happiness is you!
Class over! Disperse🤭💓

You're really strong having scored such amazing marks even after the hardships you had to go through, well done you're awesome 🙂 And if being a lawyer is something that makes your heart sing then maybe you can do it down the line cause it's never too late 😉 psych def helps even if you're a lawyer :))

Maths has always been my enemy, it was not the subject that I was afraid of but more my teacher which I believe contributed to my fear of it. Psychology is truly a magical subject as it not only helps you understand yourself but connects you with other people too. I would love to talk to you more!

Your experience is so raw and it gives me hope, and I'm pretty sure many others as well. I can say for sure, after this I'll have more faith on destiny and about where I'll go.

It was a similar case for me at home too. My parents didn't want me to be a topper but wanted me to get very good grades. I can relate to you totally. I guess this was what it best for you and I am sure you will love psychology just as much as you loved being a lawyer. Hope you have a great journey ahead . All the best!
