Peace Within Myself

Sometimes I wonder: did I make a right decision by accepting the scholarship?
I know, when people out there hear this, they will go: "This girl doesn't know what she's got!" with disapproval shown on their faces.
But they are never in my position, so they will never know how I feel.
There are times when I feel like breaking away from what I know and just do what my heart thinks is right. Doing what I would like to do.
By accepting the scholarship, I have let go of this important part of me that I could never gain again.By accepting the scholarship, I would have to dedicate my life studying, learning and becoming a pharmacist for a good ten years to come.
I would have to forgo some interests that I previously wished to pursue. A dream that would only remain a dream, unless I could really spend some time to nurture it.
But circumstances now would not allow it. I find that I have less time to pursue my interests; pharmacy is a demanding course.
At times when I feel like a failure at labs and other pharmacy-related stuff, I wonder if I had made the right choice. But now, thank god for making this girl a simpleton - who simply accepts what comes her way.
I now enjoy some parts of the course, mostly because I love to learn (but hate to study).
I have finally become at peace with this choice. :)
