Дяденька ок, это takes guts:

"When I was a kid, I always wanted to be a doctor. I quit my soul sucking job at age 35 and went to medical school. I live off student loans now, I spend 50 hours a week in the library, and many of my colleagues are insufferably immature. I won't be able to operate autonomously as a doctor until I'm 43. But fuck all that. If I don't chase my dreams, I am still going to turn 43 on the same day. At least I can be 43 and doing something I enjoy.

I had to go back to school with 18 year olds and learn about biology and chemistry, of which I knew nothing. The first day back in school, I almost quit because of how ridiculous I felt. The kid sitting next to me wouldn't stop trying to show me his Pokemons. It took me 2 years to make myself into a realistic med school applicant. In the end I applied and got into my #1 school."
