My Lifelong Dream Is To Be An International Doctor

Decent Essays
Each year, thousands of childhood homes are sold and dismembered so that new homes can be built. For the past decade, the future intention of the vast majority of human civilization was to find a decent job, marry, and buy a gargantuan house to live in for the rest of their lives. Dilapidated houses and apartments were seen as "inbetweeners" as they primarily housed students, fresh graduates, and couples saving for a house.

The frames, snugness and sunlight may seem unrelated to each other, but as with the clues in a mystery, they fit together perfectly. While a moderately sized list, these factors describe my future home and any place worth consideration must fulfill all of these …show more content…
I have not become indoctrinated into believing in a straight path. Being an international doctor and owning a condominium empire as a future home is going to be difficult, but it reflects who I am as a person. Having a place to call home in the future is what humans work towards- it 's the reason why people can destroy their childhood home and rebuild a new one in its place. In a way, everyone 's home is without borders as home is what comes to mind during emotional times whenever and wherever the person happens to

    My most valuable possession was my house. It wasn’t anything fancy or exquisite, but it was there that I had spent the precious moments, however few, with my beloved dad. I remember that we would spend hours playing, running around the arched, brightly lit corridors. On either side, I recall the large mahogany doors which would fluidly open to reveal ancient, chestnut-brown rooms with antique, twin bed frames which were confined within. I will never forget the uncanny gargoyles that were suspended onto the wall behind, the very same monsters who would assault my sleep and curse me with countless numbers of sleepless nights.…
