Managing parental expectations and family?

Post Body

So I am going to uni in 1.5 months. My entire family is very excited.

A kid is going to college in America for the first time and not just any college, a private college.

My mom is expecting me to be a doctor and has been planning on me becoming a doctor ever since I was born. Not joking.

She actually never threw being a doctor down my throat ever and was not obsessive with it.

I like the healthcare field and it is something that I see myself doing in the long run. But I feel like if the doctor route never worked out for me, I would have other ways of contributing.

But recently she has started cramming it down like crazy that I will be the best doctor ever and I will be brilliant. Going to her cycling sessions and telling her friends I will be the best doctor ever.

I love her enthusiasm

But I feel like I am going to disappoint her in the long run someday.

Though being a doctor would be cool, I see so many other options for myself in the healthcare field.

I love my mom I don’t wanna make her unhappy.
