“You can restart and pivot at any time, but if you’re going to do it, believe in it.”

My brother followed the mould of my dad, rebelling constantly and testing the limits of our parents’ patience and support. Though he had a promising career ahead as a laboratory chemist, like our grandfather, he quit, moved to California, and opened a massive-scale pot farm. Mastery and wealth were not enough and at age 33, he is completing his final prerequisites to start medical school. All along, he knew he wanted to be a healer to the community, and even if it takes until his 40s, he believes that he is doing what is right.
