B
Three years ago, I got the chance to spend a month as a volunteer helping out in a hospital in Africa. I had one month left at high school, and I was interested in studying medicine at university. I thought it
was the perfect chance to get some practical experience and to see if I really wanted to be a doctor.
It was a month that changed my life. I was introduced to a new world that is very different to mine
in so many ways. I was hor
r
ified at how poor so many of the families over there are and how difficult their
l
i
ves can
b
e
.
But I was even more amazed at how actively people go about their everyday lives in Afr
i
ca. The way they come together and help
e
ach other is a real inspiration, and something I think a lot of us
have forgotten. I think many of us don
’
t reali
z
e how lucky we are.
My work in the hospital was hard. I spent a lot of time washing floors, cleaning toilets and changing bed sheets. I also got to spend some time looking after the patients. But it was such an honor for me to listen to a patient
’
s story and communicate with people from so many walks of life. And I also got the chance to talk to some doctors and ask them about the profession. I saw some truly awful things in the hospital, but none of them changed my mind about being a doctor. In fact, they only made me
more determined to do medicine.
It has been a great experience volunteering in Africa.
When I
finish, I know exactly what I
’
m going to do:
I want to work for an international
organization
like the Red Cross and spend my life helping
people who haven
’
t been as lucky in life
