Have you tried talking to your aunt? It seems like you are ok with people talking about it, just not constantly. Just make a comment like......mmmm....."Hey, aunty. How would you feel if your boss at work kept telling you that you weren't doing your best, and, constantly reminding you, even though, you are aware and are attempting to change it, that you need to do better? It would get really old." I mean, it's one thing, if you are talked to and months down the line, you're still slacking or whatever. But, if you're aware of the situation and are doing your best to make it better, than people need to respect that and just help you if you need it. And, as far as what you want to do with your life, you have to first discover yourself and what you enjoy doing. If you're not 100% into it, you won't make a good vet, ya know? It's so wrong to do anything related to a career or your future because someone else wants you to. And, you're so young, you're supposed to change your mind and what you see your future as. I mean, really, every girl wants to be a veterinarian or something like a teacher or a ballerina when they're young. I wanted to be a vet until I realized how much I hated math. ha ha....Anyway, i hope they lay off a little.
