You can be a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure - Blogilates

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

My dad once saidYou have 3 choices. You can either be a doctor, a lawyer, ora failure. I didnt like any of them. So I wrote in my own answer to that multiple choice question. I spent 2 days struggling to write my acceptance speech for one of the biggest achievement awards of my life. Butjust a couple minutes before I stepped on stage, I ripped it up. I decided to speak from the heart. To be honored with the Digital Influencer Award in front of so many people I respect and admire directors, actors, writers, authors, singers, and fellow creators Ive watched for so many years my body was shaking, my heart was racing, but my soul was flying. Choosing to follow my passion was scary. I tried to ignore it, but as the days passed on, my heart became more hollow, more fragile, and more lost. I wanted badly to make my parents happy, but I didnt know how it would be possible if I wanted to be fulfilled too. There were times I even thought of ending it all Eventually, my soul couldnt take it anymoreso I took a riskon myself, on my family, and on my future. I dropped out of Organic Chemistry, sabotaged my perfect Pre-Med record, and followed my heart to where I am today. If you grew up Asian American, youve probably heard this story. Maybe you ARE this story. Perhaps youre still trying to figure out YOUR story. My parents gave me an extremely rough time growing up, but I owe it to them for igniting this INTENSE fire inside me. Their blockades taught me how to FIGHT HARD for what I wanted. We still have a lot to work through, but I love them so much for helping me become the woman I am today. Thank you Kore Asian Media for this incredible honor and for bringing together so many inspiring people in our community for a moment to stop, dress up real fancy, and celebrate! Thank you to my fellow creators for your genuine friendship and enthusiastic support. And thank you to YOU GUYS, my POPsters you are the reason why Im living my actual dream. THANK YOU. 2018, what a year

Cassey, you are so beautiful! I love the dress, hair, and makeup. Your speech was wonderful and I'd probably be like you too, last minute everything. But you pulled through! You didn't even seem nervous at all: ) I'm still doing your PIIT workouts while at the gym and your workouts get my heart rate up to 164! I sweat for a good 30 minutes and I am proud to have accomplished it. Despite my mom criticizing me every time after I eat that I am fat and ask what kind of workout am I doing to get fatter, I just have to tell myself that she doesn't understand that it takes time and effort. Like you said, if I stop focusing on the body image, and focus on strength, the body will come with the hard work. I still look at when you signed my pink yoga mat to Train Insane. Thank you Cassey for all you do! I love you! You are amazing! And happy holidays

Congrats on the award Cassey! I'm so proud of you. It's so relatable as another fellow Asian American. It made me cry! I've finished uni and I'm a nurse now, but I'm still not sure if this is the correct path for me. The only problem is I never had a plan b going through school. I just told myself that I will love nursing no matter what, so now I don't know what I would do if I chose to quit. I don't know if it's just because I'm a new nurse, or if it's because nursing isn't my calling after all.

Don't feel bad abt wearing your wedding shoes again, I do the same thing! I figure if I can't wear my dress again, at least I can get some more miles out of my shoes! And they're SO MUCH like yours, it's CRAZY! Mine are sparkly and just full on glam! I wear them any chance I get! Now, if we could only find a way to wear those wedding dresses again, right! Love you, Cassey! CONGRATS on your award! You most definitely deserve it! xoxoJJ

You have such a beautiful personality and have made a difference to so many people all over the world. We all love you so much! Thank you! Please keep doing what you're doing
Also, this speech is making me cry, don't know why

I love your videos. My life is in the twilight but I feel that there is much more to see and do. I started from a small mid-Atlantic town and did not know what the world was all about. I traveled out west after college. I have always rode a bicycle to stay in shape and still ride over 5 miles a day as I approach my mid sixties. I have videos of the places I have visited.

When I was younger I wanted to be an engineer, artist and teacher. I'm so happy to say i found this passion through dance which is not what I expected of myself. But that is where life took me. It's been rough lately but knowing I have that instinct in me gives me hope.

That last part is so important. I can't believe that there are still people who criticise her body. I mean. Have they tried taking her more advanced classes? Can they do them while talking and smiling? I think not! She really deserves this prize.

My dad is an arab, and I told him before going to med university: I don't want to be a doctor, I want to be a lawyer to which he replied: you have 2 choices, doctor or stay at home.
Obviously I had no choice, and I'm still stuck here but oh well.

Im a teen but ever since 7th grade, Ive decided I wanted to be a lawyer. The news, books, and basically media showed me that the world can be unfair and cruel and I wasnt accepting any of that bs. I want to help and be a voice for people.
