A struggling 16 yr old!(pre-med,MBA,Business, medicine)

Hi, I’m currently a 16 year old who recently got homeschooled and in my junior year of high school. I’m on a journey on rediscovering myself of what I’m capable of doing( I’m trying to learn what I’m good at and I’m not and who I am). I used to run my own candy business and it was fun interacting with people and getting their feedback on my candy so it got me thinking for quite some time that I love knowing what I do makes people happy and makes their day a bit better with a snack so I was wondering if something in the medical field can be an option because I don’t want to work where I will be behind a computer while working a 9-5 job. I like helping people, marketing objects, social media, being my own boss, making discoveries.

Things to know about me:
-I get bored to easily if it’s a repeating cycle of the same day
-I like to travel
-my family plays a big role
- I like to challenge myself
- I have an ENTP personality
-I want to make an impact on people’s life's
- I want to make my make name known in the world and leave history behind

Ann’s Answer

Occupational therapy could be the perfect career path for you! With more than three decades of experience under my belt, I've delved into numerous facets of both the medical and educational spheres of this field. I dedicated the initial 20 years of my journey to serving the elderly community in various settings, including long-term care facilities, hospitals, and homecare.

In recent years, my focus has shifted towards children. I began by providing homecare to young children with disabilities, then moved on to early childhood intervention for infants and toddlers aged 0 to 3 years. Currently, I'm offering virtual support in schools to students grappling with developmental or learning disabilities.

Additionally, I am a certified lymphedema therapist, assisting individuals suffering from chronic swelling due to cancer or other chronic diseases. The opportunities in Occupational therapy are truly limitless!
