After first term finals, Sue finds herself at the top of her medical school class. Once she notices that she is one of the top students, she decides that she could major in this criteria. Not everyone has potential with this sort of material, especially known that not many women do have some sort of job related to this class. She informs her family about it, then everyone comes to a conclusion that she should major in this class for her college. The only thing that her parents were considered about was if she had fun while taking this class, and if she does want to pursue this for her life. She says that she is more than happy to, and that the time when she has the most fun was when she is doing something related to medical things. Her friends say that she looks happiest when she deals with medical classes, and that she should also major in this class. But as Sue becomes more and more sure about majoring in this class, she had one problem. Though she was sure she was smart enough for this class, she wasn't sure how she should appeal and use this in her daily life in her future to make money out of it. Even though she enjoys it, she thinks that she should have something more valuable to do that involves medication. As Sue is very quiet and wasn't able to socialize with other students as much as others, she wasn't sure if she had the ability to work with others and cooperate well enough, as medication is sometimes based on cooperation. Thinking of her future and what she can accomplish, Sue decides that majoring in medical school can be a disadvantage for her. She concludes that medical school could hold for a while, until then, she will study a class that has a variety of major she can do.

After first term finals, Sue finds herself at the top of her medical school class. At first, Sue was ecstatic. She had worked for almost her whole life to become the top of her medical school class in order to be the best doctor and earn the most money she could. She went out celebrating and even bought herself a new Macbook Air as a gift.

However, this feeling of happiness did not last. Slowly but surely, Sue began to feel isolated. Since she was the top of her class, she needs to remain there. Her friends and colleagues who she once worked with seemed to fade away. She needed to work harder and move her way up to become an actual doctor, so she never had time for her friends anymore. And her best friend, Anna, graduated with very low marks and had to take the class again, so Anna started being distant from Sue. Maybe it was because she felt jealous of Sue, or because she felt embarrassed around her, but Anna no longer hung around Sue at all.

Because of her unhappiness, Sue finds it hard to have fun at parties and at social meetings. Soon, she completely stops attending to such events and finds it harder and harder to converse and make small talk with others in everyday life.

At least Sue’s family was proud of her, especially her father. Sue’s father also graduated at the top of his class and went on to be on of the most prestigious surgeons in the area. Even with the approval of her family, however, Sue still feels somewhat empty inside. The whole reason why she majored in medicine was because to please her father, but now that HE is pleased, Sue is not. She questions whether this is what she truly wanted out of her life. Her motivation was her father, not herself…
