Oh Baby Apricot! I wanted her too. She was SO cute:)
Are you an only child then? I guess it sounded mean that I wasn't excited about each one. I have 6 siblings. I love them now. I was the oldest girl though so I changed diapers and fed babies and got up at night with them. It was tiring!
So you were born "late in life" to your parents? Did that bother you at any point (if you want to say?) I have an almost 11 year old, a almost 8 year old and a 5 year old and my husband (their dad) is almost 56. I often wonder how they will feel as they get older about having an older dad.
What major did you end up picking? I'm sorry your dad died when you were college age. That must have been very difficult.
I bet you would have been a good doctor!
I considered Physical therapy. I really loved my PTs and would love to help people like they did. It does take a lot of schooling though.
What attracted you to genetic counseling? (if you want to say)
Funny how our dreams change...
Thanks so much for sharing! I really enjoy interacting and learning more about other LJ friends:)
The school always thought my dad was my grandpa which was kind of annoying. Other than that, it never really bothered me. He retired when I was in 4th grade. We went on a great trip that year. He drove me all over.
I have to give up and go to sleep - struggling with typing too much - I'll answer the rest after I get some sleep.
I ended up starting out as a speech pathology major and switching back to biology. I toyed with applying to a different PT school or trying to get into med school or PA school but in the end I didn't do any of that. I got sick and had to take a leave and got married and went back and then moved and never finished.
Dad was sick (he had cancer) and it was a really rough year from his diagnosis until his death. When he died, it was definitely a blessing. Though I wish he had lived longer. I think he would have liked Chris and he would have loved our daughter. He would have turned 90 on January 10th. My mom will be 80 on Feb 16th.
Because of the HUGE generation gap, I think my parents were really clueless about what I was doing .
I just love genetics. I find it fascinating. Genetic counseling was fledgling in 1990 when I was looking at it but I thought - here's something I am interested in and I understand and I could be good at that.
