Linda Kim: Essay1

My Vision

Linda Kim

 

     It was last June when I got a dream of the MSF(doctors without borders). I was looking at my friend's face in the school. And MSF suddenly came up to my mind. (I think I've read a book about the MSF before.) So, I immediately searched for the MSF by computer, and thought that it's really cool, and I was really excited. After I came back home, I found a book about the MSF in my room. I read the book and I fall into this dream wholly.

 

     MSF is a NGO like World Vision which helps people by giving a medical care. So, it's like an association of the doctors who like to go to the place where war occurs and where the medical system is bad. As other normal kids, when I was young, I have once dreamed about being a doctor. But as I grow up, I thought it would be impossible for me to study for ten years more after graduating the high school. But, after I thought about the MSF, I found out that it is really worthy if I can save a life, even if it's just one life, by studying 10 years which is only one-tenth of my life.

 

     I have a dream of joining the MSF, and after I become like 60 years old, I want to make a medical truck or a medical helicopter and travel all around the world giving people medical service. And at the age of 70, I want to go back to the first country I went in the MSF or in the medical-truck(or helicopter)-journey and make a house where every people who don't have home can live. And I will live there with them happily and die.

 

     Actually, I don't know exactly how my God will lead me. And my life might not be just like my plan. But one thing is that I really want to be the light of God. And I really want to be used by God. I hope I can be someone who makes scent of Lord, sweet-smelling.
