THE FUTURE

The future is a long time away.
Then again it is not.
The sad disadvantage of being a TCT is that you often set your mind on going to a certain place for university, when you might have to go back to your own instead. It is not a rare occurrence for people staying in their own country to want to go to other places as well, but for TCTs, its harder.

The US is where I want to study medicine. If not, Singapore, UK and India is fine but my heart is set on medicine. Unfortunately, medicine takes about 8+ years to study unpaid but after those first years, you do residency and you get paid. Medicine is expensive, no joke. 40,000 is the average PER YEAR. The number makes me shrivel up and die a little inside. My parents also have my sister to take care of, and she is showing interest in medicine as well.

I like planning. It amuses me.

Third Culture Teens. (Third Culture Kids)

TCKs are people who are in the middle of two cultures, because they have moved around a lot or they live somewhere apart from their original country. I'm a TCK, or a TCT as I like to call it.

Chris Shaughnessy is an amazing speaker who has lived in 81+ countries, and he isn't even married yet. He talked to our school about the life of a TCK and how they are different from those who remained in their home country for most of their lives. I found him terribly funny and his accents were amazing.

As you can tell, I've changed my blog a bit and my writing style is going to be different (I'll tell you about that assignment later). New Blog year (yes its been over a year since I've been blogging), new blog ideas.

Get ready for my posts.
