Oh! Well, I like being realistic, I think it's a gift personally. XD
I don't know. I'd really want to sound all optimistic and say, "Oh, nothing is impossible if you really try!" and I suppose some things that we deemed impossible become possible when we do try, many, many times—of course with failing and picking ourselves back up as soon as it happens. I'm just not sure I want to take that path. Writing is fun as a side career, I'd say, and I think if you do that then you'll be doing what you want and doing what your family wants you to do at the same time… right? You don't seem hypocritical at all, actually.
Well, if you're good at those… then it should be fine for you to at least go through them. The subjects you take in high school do not determine what career you're taking, and although this might be a long stretch and a little strange, the course you take in college doesn't necessarily equal to your career, as well. My aunt took Chemistry in college and she's a businesswoman now, haha. :)
If I may know, is your dad working in the medical field? Because that tends to happen in Asian families… like, the child taking over the family business, or something. You don't have to answer if this is too personal or something.
Sorry for the lateish reply, by the way. My Internet has been driving me absolutely crazy! XD
