Written scenario · Motivation, Resilience

Try again?

You applied to health professional programs this year.

You were not offered admission anywhere. Your parents, who have supported you financially, suggest you take a stable job in the family business instead of applying again. Part of you is relieved at the idea; part of you is not ready to give up.

The two questions

  1. 1What would you do next?
  2. 2How do you decide whether to persist with a goal or change course?
