study hard so you can go to a good med school. It sucks cause you have around 10 years of schooling left after high school( 4 years in undergraduate, 4 years in med school, and 2 years of residency), whereas for average people only 4 years after high school. And you won't be able to start working till your in your 30's, and for the first year of your work, you have to pay off your debt from med school.

Good for you! I am sure that is a rewarding career. Make sure you do well in the sciences. Your High School Biology and Chemistry marks will be very important in getting into medical school. I am sure that your overall good marks combined with good people skills. a love of young children and good problem solving skills will take you far in this field. BTW you made 3 spelling mistakes in your posting so this may also want to be something you start paying attention to. Good Luck in the future and have a great school year!

Study hard.
Medical school admissions is quite competitive. You'll have to do very well academically. Now is a good time to get used to working hard at your school work.
The first step is to get into a good University for your undergraduate degree. Major in Chemistry or Biology and you're off.

Number one, always look up any word you're not sure of in the dictionary. For example: pediatrician, future, succeed. Study hard in high school, including math, biology and chemistry. You'll need a good background in those before you hit college.

Can you be a pediatritian by next week? I don't like mine currently! Seriously, it will be an awesome job!

It will be good for you to learn alot of biology and life sciences. Obviously a peditrician is just a discpline in medicine and you will have to become an doctor first, then you can study into the disciple of pediatrics.

Well, mabye you should try baby sitting and learn more about little kids? Find out what makes them cranky, happy, etc. You know? And in high school take a special human body science class or something.
