I Want To Be a Doctor in 2020 I Fail! But Now I Am a Founder of my Digital Agency "FINAL"

My family wanted me to become a doctor, and it was my dream too. Unfortunately, I didn’t pass the medical entrance exam in 2020, and I ended up wasting a whole year at home. I felt like I wasn’t capable of anything, like I wasn’t gifted in any way.

But deep down, I knew I was the smartest child in my family. I had won two awards back in my school days. I was a hard worker, but I hadn’t given enough time to practice for the test. Still, what happened had happened.

I felt isolated, like my world had ended, and no one supported me. That one year felt like a blur. I was isolated. I became socially withdrawn. I hated meeting people and skipped every family function.

Then one day, my mother said something that changed everything: "The day ends, and there will be a new day, with new opportunities and new hopes."

That line shook me to my core. My adrenaline kicked in, and suddenly, I felt like the old Adeeba, the one before 2020.

I started learning new skills. My brother introduced me to freelancing, and I began my journey as a beginner. I made mistakes. I lost clients. I got scammed multiple times. Eventually, I thought freelancing wasn’t for me.

Back then, my English wasn’t good. I didn’t know how to write well. But now I do!

I enrolled in university and changed my major from medical to business. It was a huge shift for me. Imagine changing from your dream career to something entirely different! The thought always haunted me: Did I make a mistake by choosing business?

But deep down, I wanted to be someone people knew and admired. I wanted to help others, and to do that, I knew I had to help myself first. So, I made the decision to stick with business as my major.

In university, I made new friends and realized how vibrant life truly was. People were happy, living their lives, pursuing their dreams. And here I was, isolated when the world outside was full of life and joy. I thought to myself: Adeeba, it’s time to step out of the shadows.

In my first year of university, I learned a lot. I grew, made connections, and met mentors who were kind and supportive. But the story didn’t end there.

One day, my father said to me, "Child, the medical exam is coming up again. If you want to give it another shot, we’ll support you."

Honestly, I didn’t want to try again, but out of respect for my father, I decided to enroll for the medical exam again while still in my first year of university.

I didn’t tell anyone at university, not even my friends. Only my family knew.

Here comes the twist: I scored 190/210 on the medical exam. I was shocked! I couldn’t believe it. I thought, How do I tell my parents that I’ve succeeded on my second try with excellent marks?

But here’s the second twist: I wasn’t interested in medicine anymore. I had only taken the test to honor my parents, but the passion I once had was gone. My heart was now in business. I had made friends, formed connections, and embraced my university life.

I told my father I didn’t want to pursue medicine anymore. He was shocked. With the marks I had, I could have easily gotten into the top medical universities in Pakistan.

It was a tough decision. My entire future depended on this moment: medicine or business?

I spent time alone, thinking deeply. In the end, I decided not to pursue medicine.

I know many people would think I was crazy, maybe even dumb, for making that choice. But I stood by it.

My parents were upset. They thought I should follow through with my childhood dream of becoming a doctor. In their eyes, pursuing a career in business was too uncertain, too unconventional.

But I told them, "I’ll find my way. Please support me. And if you can’t, at least don’t discourage me." I said it as politely as I could.

The next day, I went to university and shared my story with my friends. I told them I had taken the medical test again and scored top marks. They were proud of me, but they also urged me to pursue medicine.

"That was your dream," they said. "Why give up now?"

"It was my dream," I replied, "but not anymore."

They couldn’t understand. "Then why did you take the test? Why didn’t you tell us?"

I explained it all happened suddenly, and I wasn’t sure I’d even succeed.

They worried I was making a mistake, choosing business over medicine. They asked, "Do you even have a goal in business?"

Their words made me think. Why had I chosen business in the first place? I didn’t have a clear goal in mind either. It felt like my life was a mess. I was confused, torn between two worlds. But in the end, I made my choice.

I decided to stick with business. I had no interest in medicine anymore.

But what would I do now? I didn’t have a clear goal in business either.

I left it in God’s hands. I spent the next year learning new skills, actively participating in university, attending lectures, and slowly finding my way back to a normal life.

My family still thinks I made the wrong decision. They don’t support me financially, but my father has always said, "Choose any university, and I’ll pay for it." Even so, I knew it would be a burden on him, and medicine was no longer my dream.

Fast forward to 2024, and I’ve applied my skills in the real world. I am now an SEO content writer, helping businesses grow their visibility on Google. Many clients appreciate my work, and they encourage me to keep going.

I’ve even founded my own digital agency. My mission is to create jobs for others because in Pakistan, the inflation rate is high, and employment opportunities are scarce. Many people are struggling to find work.

It’s my goal to land a big project for my agency by the end of this year. And if any of you want to grow your business on Google or need help with social media management or anything else, feel free to reach out. Your initiative could change many lives.
