I was going to college to be a doctor.

I wanted to be a doctor since I was five.

For as long as I can really remember, I wanted to be a doctor.

I always wanted to be a scientist, I always thought I'd be a scientist, that was the narrative I was carrying around. I worked in a neuroscience lab as an undergraduate and then after, almost five years in total, but I realized I just wasn't good at science. I didn't have the discipline for it.

I went to college, I went pre-med, I thought I was going to be a doctor.

I was very much into science when I was young - I wanted to be a marine biologist, then I wanted to be a doctor, and then something else, I was always changing.

For a long time, I thought I would like to be a doctor. Such a good profession. So explicitly good. Never a waste of time.

I always knew I wanted to be a doctor, but I also knew that being a doctor meant more than treating just the patient in front of you.

I'm from a family of doctors, and I think they really wanted me to be a doctor. I even sort of assumed I would be a doctor.

When I was younger, I was an avid science girl. I was all about, 'I'm going to be a doctor.' Even when I graduated, I was like, 'I'm going to be a doctor.' Even though I did acting and I was in plays and drama clubs in high school and college, I still didn't think I was going to take it on as a career.
