He Just Got Accepted To His Dream Master’s Program, And He Wants To Become A Doctor, But He Would Have To Leave His Family While They Mourn The Unexpected Loss of His Uncle
Just last week, this 22-year-old guy sadly lost his uncle. Apparently, his uncle was battling a terrible illness a few years ago, and his whole family rallied to make sure that his uncle was okay.
So, following the loss last week, everyone– from his immediate family to his grandparents– was completely shocked.
Still, his uncle was buried the very next day. And he was then expected to stay with his grandparents to ensure that they were as comfortable as they could be during this difficult time.
But, just a few days later, he received some incredible news. He got an acceptance letter to a medical school master’s program located in the Northwest.
And while he has been waiting to hear back from other schools, this is the only confirmed acceptance he has received to date.
“This master’s program offers an amazing linkage to a medical school, which would help me attain my dreams of becoming a medical doctor,” he said.
But, he did not realize that the program actually began in early August as opposed to early September.
So, the earlier start date does not give him a ton of time to spend with his family as they cope with the loss of his uncle.
“I come from a South Asian household, and as I am the only son and the oldest child, I have to hold the responsibility of helping my family through this process of grief,” he explained.

But this chance to pursue his dream and go to medical school is sitting right in front of him. And while he is still waiting to hear back from other programs in Philadelphia, New York, and New Jersey to see if he can remain closer to family, he has no clue whether or not this will be his only option.
So now, he has been wondering whether flying across the country to pursue his dream education while his family still mourns his uncle’s death would be the wrong thing to do.
Is it worth potentially missing out on his future dream to lament the past? Do you think his family would understand the predicament? How could he go about handling this situation in a way that doesn’t hurt his family?
