I'll never know if I picked the right path in college. At the time I was deciding on a major. I knew I loved to write but I wondered whether I would get a job as a writer majoring in English. I also followed in the footsteps of some of the people I knew and aimed to be an MD. So I entered a Chemistry major and had a rough time of it. I tried to apply to medical schools but each one rejected me. I only got one interview and that was from my state school. But the outcome was the same. So I said I'd apply again the next year while building my GPA to an acceptable level. I never got in to medical school. So the next best thing (I thought) was to apply to graduate school. But halfway through it I got my head checked and realized I could do more things for people as a PhD working on a medical project so I abandoned applying to medical schools.

Decades later, I applied for a MFA in writing creatively. It was easy to accomplish it. I was in my element. But one thing I discovered was that they didn't help me in coursework to get my books read by many people. I'm in my sixties now and I don't earn much from book royalties thus far.

I hope to talk to Jesus Christ about my wrong path in life and pray to Him to forgive me.
