Who else here was forced into healthcare by their parents? We're first-generation immigrants from Nigeria and it was either healthcare or engineering for me.

Me! My mother was a nurse and she also wanted me to become one. I have always been passionate about art but I guess my mom won.

I wouldn't say I was forced into engineering even though my parents suggested and showed me the benefits of it, and after trying it, I liked it. You can't go wrong with engineering!

I wasn't really forced but it was well respected and I walked to be well respected. And I was not gonna be a lawyer or an engineer.

We're a family of healthcare professionals so I felt like this was the only way to go. I expected to hate it but I'm doing really good so far!

My father didn't really force me. But growing up, he would always tell me that I would thrive in the healthcare industry too. He's a surgeon and my mom is a nurse.

It runs in the family, I would say. I didn't really have a choice at that point as I wasn't sure about what I course I should take. It kind of just fell on my lap.

But dog hype and what dog owners get away with in terms of occupying human spaces, jumping on strangers with dirty paws, going to a friends house and having the dogs harass you for food, and obsession on the dating apps is next level obnoxious.

Dogs can be great, not a hater. But if you can’t control your dog you’re a massive piece of shit for imposing that on everyone else.
