My name is Zach Abdile and I'm going to work in a hospital after being told I would never become a doctor. As long as I could remember, I've always wanted to help people one way or another. When I was in Grade 6, I had the amazing chance of shadowing(跟随. . . 实地学习)doctors in a hospital in India. I was completely amazed at the level of care that these doctors provided. Till then, I realized that this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
So when I told teachers that I would like to become a doctor, I think they really stuck on to that first impression I may have given them when I was a kid. And they questioned me "Are you sure you want to do this? Are you sure you have what it takes?" They even asked me to consider different possibilities in life. I think they really refused to accept the fact that I wanted to become a doctor. Moreover, the amount of love and support that people showed me was so heart-warming, although I'd never met them before.
I think hours of just studying on the wards(病房)during medical school can't really make us appreciate(充分意识到)what it's like to be a junior doctor. For people that want to follow their dreams, my highest advice for them is to not let anything limit them. Push through the self-doubt and push through the voice that tell you that you won't be able to do it. Just look back on the times that you had struggled(挣扎), no matter how hard that you thought it was at that time.
