A Spark Has Touched Me
A spark has touched me
to influence and to serve humanity,
to expand our frontiers
to develop new methods of solving impossible medical feats
I AM going to be a plastic surgeon
in order to aid people all over the world
in order to advance our world’s technology
to make faces for those who do not have identities
to construct limbs for those who cannot support themselves
I AM going to donate a year of my time to Operation Smile
I AM going to work for Doctors Without Borders
Because becoming a doctor,
and working for these organizations,
allows me to help others despite the color of their skin,
the religions they practice,
and the paper they may have.
I AM going to be a doctor
because it allows me to make a difference in a person’s life.
