Ah, you'd probably have discovered it through another game a little later ... and met other people just as worth knowing.
I'm not sure I'm that good. ... I sometimes think I'm at least halfway intelligent, but then again I wonder whether I'm just too stupid to realise I am. I'm mostly content with my life, but I don't think that makes me valuable to anybody else.
Maybe already having a doctor in the family has satisfied your parents' ambitions for academic achievements for their children and made them more open for the other talents you possess? Someone once told me only children like me tend to suffer more from parental ambitions, because when there are siblings they don't each have to fulfil all of them. (Though I also remember one of Mum's students suffering a lot, because neither she nor her brother were smart enough for university - and Mum always said how she was such a warm hearted and diligent girl that would have made a wonderful mother and probably done well in an apprenticeship. If only her parents could have set those goals for her instead.)
