Royal Tribe: DESPISE ME NOT!

I did not study medicine in the university, but I am a huge fan of “Grey’s Anatomy”, so much that I was becoming a surgeon in mind until I snapped back to reality. I will like to talk about some two of the doctors, Dr. Miranda Bailey and Dr. Derek Shepherd. Dr. Bailey is brilliant, bold and hardworking, always on top of her game, while Dr. Shepherd is a brilliant neurosurgeon with the perfect look, perfect face, perfect hair and prefect swags; he was nicknamed “McDreamy”, wow! Let us go back to their roots and see what they were as teenagers.

Miranda was a geek during her high school days and felt inferior to others, especially to the sport guys. In order to get their attention, she made herself a slave to the captain of the football team; she did all his assignments for him and he felt like it was his right to have her do the assignments for him. 15years later, she was the Resident Surgeon at Seattle Grace Hospital and became the football coach in their high school. He had an accident and was taken to Seattle Grace Hospital to be treated; Miranda took up his case and treated him. He was so amazed to see in that position, but was not shocked; she felt good about after herself and was proud of her job, especially after reminiscing about how she was during her high school days.

Dr. Derek Shepherd was a nerd in high school; he had a full hair that made him unattractive and crushed his self-esteem so much that he could not even go for prom. He grew up, there was a transformation in him, he became so perfectly handsome and his hair was everyone’s fantasy, it was perfect and he was one of the most sort after neurosurgeons in his country, even got married to a most beautiful medical doctor. He was getting more attention than he ever imagine, as against the unattractive and ignored boy in the high school.

These two people became successful adults became even though they were despised as teens, they were very unattractive and their attention seeking mechanisms failed, but they did not lose focus of their future, they worked hard towards their future which they arrived at safely and they were greatly rewarded for their hard work to the extent of being envied by the people they felt inferior to. Derek’s story is the coolest, the hair that was his minus became his plus as an adult and everyone tripped for the hair and wondered how he got his hair to be so cool.

It is very easy to feel intimidated by other people, especially when you “belief” they have what you do not have, but the truth is there is a bigger picture to see. The teenage period is a short phase in life, it will pass, but it is the period that lays the foundation for adulthood. The adulthood is a phase that ends when you die, it is real life, it is the period when you reap what you sow as a teenager, it is the period to look forward to, it is the period to plan and work towards. So, leave your minuses, ignore the people that despise you and believe you the no matter now, they don’t count in your future. All you need to do is to work toward a brilliant future and all these people will apply to be your friends because by then, you will be the “matter”.

Can you recognize these people?
