I dont't want to be a medical illustrator because i am not creative and that's not what i have in my mind for my future. I think it is a good career for people that have that creativity that makes them unique.

What's on your mind?

In my mind I have memories, and goals. One of my goals is to become a Dentist and have my own work space. I have too many goals, and to achieve them i have to work hard, and sacrifice lots of things. School is the key to success. Right now i'm not in the right track to achieve my goals but i'm trying to do it.
