Back Burner Thoughts

Here's another one of thos "If you're goin to read this, read it all" posts... Okay, so I watched Patch adams this morning... I then realized something that would probably dictate the rest of my life. I want to be a doctor. I want to be so, not for the possible financial benefits but rather because I want to change the world. I want to make the world better, but I know I can't. I am one person, either underestimated by peers, or overestimated by parents, or myself. I am right smack middle of everything, except I see things from a different perspective. I may not be able to take the pressure of medical school, but out of some unfounded unstable shred of hope, I still want to go on with medicine. I guess all doctors start this way, they want to change the world, or help a family member, or some other selfless excuse, but end up practicing for the money's sake. I don't want to end up like that, but I would like to end up a doctor. I share the hopes of so many people. Some of those hopes will materialize, some won't, but we will all keep something from the hope that will or will not come to be: we will keep wanting to change the world. We might forget it at one point or another, but the fact remains, don't give up on a dream of a better world. Dreams do become reality. We make dreams reality. I love you all, all those who dream of a better world, who dream of medicine.
