This is a true story…

A high school student has the passion and strong desire to help people and improve their lives. He wants to create a positive impact in the world, specifically in someone’s world. He dreams of becoming a medical professional, a healer.

To become a healer, the student starts spending time, money, and effort. By college, he quickly realizes the path ahead is long, uncertain and requires taking many challenging classes and examinations. The student became distressed with the necessity of sacrificing his time with family and relationships, because he remembered his own father being away at work for most of his childhood. The student also has a deep fear of failing and making mistakes, because he thinks he will not be good enough. Being a bad test taker exaggerates that fear.

The student’s solution to dealing with these fears is to push himself harder and throw more time, money, and effort into it. He keeps working persistently with the hopes of succeeding. He sacrifices more time from family and refuses to maintain relationships. He accepts that to become a healer, he has to sacrifice his life. After struggling on overdrive for over two years, the results of the application process show that he did not get in to any medical school.

The student was faced with his fear of not being good enough to reach his dream of becoming a healer. He realizes that he was doing everything on his own and getting advice from people on the journey with him, instead of people who had already finished successfully. He realizes that he needs to find someone who will mentor and guide him throughout his journey, so he would not get lost again. He finds a mentor who knows the path, educates him with techniques on becoming a high performance achiever, and shows how to designate quality time for family. With the knowledge and guidance from his mentor, the student overcomes his fear of failing and enhances his test taking skills, causing him to pass every test afterwards. The journey does not seem so long, uncertain, and lonely anymore.

As the student continues on, he is accepted to medical school the following year and becomes a healer with a beautiful family of four children. His mentor was with him throughout, and they continue to be great friends. The healer reached his dream of saving lives every day, without sacrificing his own life.
