My family always dreamed of coming to the united states to pursue the American dream. When the iron curtain fell, all hell broke loose and and there was chaos in the land. In old country it was very difficult to make ends meet and putting bread on the table wasn't always a piece of cake. But along with the chaos, this was also the light at the end of the tunnel for my parents and they flew as free as birds to the promise land.
When my parents arrived in the US, they came with only the clothes on their backs, quite literally, and six hungry mouths to feed. My parents did not know a lick of English and had to pull themselves up by their bootstraps in order to make a living. They lived paycheck to paycheck and worked till the sun went down. They did this so that their children could have a bright future. For this reason my parents have pushed me to excel in school but school does not define me. Love defines me.
I love people. I have always wanted to help people. For this reason i want to become a doctor, so i can bring smiles to peoples faces. There is no greater joy than a child's smile, and it is my joy to bring this kind of joy. I want to help little starving children in Africa and even if to a small degree, i desire to end world hunger. The reason i love is because i am loved, this is the source of my love for others. Jesus loves me, therefore i love others. But above any other cliche, the one thing that summarizes what i am all about is: John 3:16-For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. This is the song that is played on the strings of my heart.
