I want to be a surgeon to help people live their lives normally even after suffering from a heart attack and many other heart diseases. Each year so many people in different countries die because of the lack of treatment and also because they can not afford to pay the doctors to treat them. In a lot of developing countries, there is no healthcare provided to the people which cause a lot of people to avoid visiting doctors for regular check-ups as it costs them a lot of money. There had been so many cases in India where the doctors declined to treat the dying people because those people were not able to provide money for the treatment. As a doctor, I want to visit India or any other developing country each year for at least a month and provide free treatments and care to the needy people …show more content…
If I try going to different countries by myself then I would be very difficult for me to accomplish my goals but with the establish organizations, it would be much easier for me to help those people. However, if I ever felt that there is a lot of need of help to treat people then I will try convincing my fellow doctors to come with me or go to that country during their vacation and volunteer there. Even as a college student I would look forward to going to a developing country and volunteer there in a hospital in one of my summer

Through countries and even colleges and universities within those countries, underdeveloped nations have more access to basic health care and checkups. Global organizations have been doing this through Doctors Without Borders, but schools have been participating as well.

Over the summer, between college semesters, students travel to villages in small countries such as Panama.…

I recall, one day, accompanying my mother to a ladies house where there was a sick child. My mother was one of the women in the village who would take care of the sick; she learned everything she knew from my grandmother. When we got there, I saw my mother prepare some medicine and giving it to the ill child.…

    Charles Wheelan incorporates the quote above very well into the first five chapters. Society is always looking for better opportunities and to see what's in it for “themselves”. Wheelan also speaks about how incentives can truly contribute to the betterment of the economy. Whelen describes a flawed incentive system known as “ The American Education System”. The main flaw is the standardization of the benefits, if all the teachers are to receive the same level of benefits, not matter how high or low they perform, then what is the point of them performing well in the first place?…

    For the past three decades America’s public education system has aspired to provide rich and poor, Black and White, immigrant and native born, an equal opportunity for success. That it fails in this goal is evident in the persistent differences in academic performances between groups of students. Racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in academic achievement remain a stubborn fact of schooling in America. National studies shows us that the average non-Hispanic black student scores well below the average non-Hispanic white students on standardized tests of math and reading skills, as does the average Hispanic student. Likewise, the average student from a low income family scores much lower on such tests than students from higher income…

    During my high school sports career, I made a few hospital visits due to a dislocating shoulder. After multiple visits and a few surgeries, the people that I remember the most are the nurses. My surgeon was pleasant and the emergency room doctors were helpful, but the nurses were the ones who not only performed their job, but made me feel comfortable and confident, easing any fears I may have had. The professionalism and friendliness of the nurses that I met has pushed me to pursue a degree in nursing.…

    I would be thrilled to having a ticket that would allow me to join the organization, Doctors Without Borders. Since I plan on becoming a doctor, this would mean I would have already been successful at medical school and have my medical license. The Doctors Without Borders headquarters are located in Geneva, Switzerland; therefore, I would find myself living in a whole different environment than what I am accustomed right now which is one of my lifetime goals. Doctors Without Borders is a non-government funded organization that hires doctors from all over the world in order to travel into third world countries and countries that are need of medical assistance in the greatest time of need such as epidemics,disease and natural disasters. Moreover, I learned about this organization when the 2010 earthquake struck Haiti.…

    ALEXIE: I can see where Yeats is coming from when he says, “Education is not filling a bucket but lighting a fire.” Growing up, I was never given certain educational opportunities that many American students are blessed with. Being a Spokane Indian boy living with his family on the Spokane Indian Reservation in eastern Washington state attending the schools in the reservation school system, a high education wasn’t only uncommon but it was looked down upon. As Indian children, we were expected to fail. We were expected to never reach the level of education that everyone else would reach.…

    As an only child growing up in a middle class family, I learned the value of helping others through my parents. My hard working parents were brought up in Bangladesh, a third-world country in South Asia with devastating poverty. Moreover, my parents are very strict and disciplining individuals; they both loved to help others regardless of their physical endurance, mental health, or economic stability. As role models, they reared me in the belief that my goals in life should include lending a helping hand to others. Furthermore, my empathy for others has encouraged me to aid those in need.…
