For me personally I find this quote to be very relevant. All I've every wanted in life is to be a successful Doctor- I'm aware it doesn't sound like the average 16 year olds goal. Ive seen so many professionals in my life, Physiotherapists, ocupational therapists, phycologists and primaraly a consultant pediatrician- for my Cerebral Palsy. This consultant I have had from the age of two, so as you can imagine we know each other incredibly well. When he would talk to me about the importance of doing my physiotherapy or medical procedures such as botox he would frequently say "I will give you the exact same advice as i would if you where my own daughter". Because of this we respected each other highly- I would do my physio and wear my splints because i wanted us BOTH to be able to see the results. I suppose in that respect my motivation in improve and maintain was primarily based on the mutual respect and care that had formed between us.
I can't describe how much i want this I'm my mature life. I want to be a consultant doctor in neuro disability. I want to give a young child advice and the sheer amount of care i portray will be the motivation they need to not give up and stick to their personalised treatment plan. Im not naturally academic and will have to work my arse off for my A levels- but it's what i want. Completing a six year degree an overwhelming amount of work and long clinical hours is hard for the average personal- Throw in Cerebral Palsy and M.E and it may be near impossible but i doesn't mean i can't try. Given my academic ability and numerous health problems it would probably to more realistic to say I wanted to be a Princess. But, I want to be someones motivation to succeed and if that isn't the push i'll continually need... I don't know what is.

Such an amazing post, Chloe! I love a good quote :) and this one is absolutely lovely - the last sentence of this is so beautiful, I'm so proud of you and am rooting for you all the way! You've certainly inspired and motivated me :)
