In
Vietnam, an average poor family consists of at least six
people. These poor families have to share meals for two
people between all of them because they do not have money.
They work for around two dollars a day that they cannot
afford most necessities in life, nor can they afford
accessories like new clothes, which to us is a necessity.
Some families are so poor that the husband and wife only
have one set of clothing and when one person goes out of the
house, the other stays naked inside a thin piece of material
known as a ‘blanket’ in the small bedroom. Some live in
houses made out of mud which is a big problem when the rains
come down causing illnesses and injuries such as colds and
influenza and sometimes even worse. These families not only
can afford enough food, they cannot pay for a good supper
when one is sick. I know this from my own personal
experiences from when I had visited
Vietnam last year, and had seen these poor families myself
and felt that I could not do anything to help.
It is my dream to prevent further unwanted deaths and to
save lives. To some people it is not an important issue but
to me it is, because hundreds of thousands of poor people
have died because they could not afford treatment by a
doctor. It is not their fault they are poor. I cannot get
this suffering out of my mind. These unnecessary deaths
should be stopped. Someone should help these people. I
dream that I will be one who helps in some way. I dream of
becoming a doctor, of helping people who are dying largely
because they are penniless. Money should not be the cause
of death. And in my dream I overcome the obstacles to help
people and save lives. For in my dream money is not a
problem. I in my dream get the best reward of all, the
chance to do something worthwhile and happiness. I also
dream of becoming a successful doctor to repay my Mum and
Dad for the sacrifices they have made for me throughout the
years of bringing me up to become the person I dream of.
These people deserve a chance in life and I am willing to
give those I can that chance for free, after I become a
doctor. I will be willing to give up my time and money to
save these people because I have been presented with so many
opportunities. Everyone should have a chance in life. We
are presented with opportunities in life and sometimes we
just take them for granted, while so many poor people don’t
even have any opportunities at all. They just scratch a
living out of what they can do including being servants, or
even prostitutes. Although street prostitution is illegal
in
Australia, it is common throughout
Asia
especially
Vietnam.
These prostitutes throw their lives away because they have
no other choices. Many girls do it because of their family,
because their family is poor and needs the money and they
see prostitution as a fast and easy way or even the only way
to make money and help their family. This is wrong, and
should be stopped, they are just causing more deaths in the
world because sleeping with so many men just causes them to
develop sexually transmitted diseases and spread them to the
next man they sleep with, causing more deaths and the loss
of more innocent lives. After all, AIDS is an incurable
disease.
It is my dream to try and stop this and to be as good as I
can be and help as many people as possible, I shall
certainly try to achieve this. I do not wish to be praised
or honoured because of this achievement because I just want
to help people so every time I go to sleep and close my eyes
I know that I have done my part in the world and I’ll be
able to smile to myself. It is my dream to become a good
doctor, do my best and reach my fullest potential not to
become a singer or actor or someone famous because I want to
help people survive in the world.
I may not be the next Victor Chang but I believe that
helping people must provide the greatest joy in the world.
We do not need more actors or singers, to me it seems that
these people are just accessories in life and are just
entertaining us, they are not actually achieving anything
but instead helping themselves to have fame and fortune.
Although it is just normal to think about yourself in life,
I feel that if I become a doctor I am really succeeding in
life and am gaining the respect I need while saving lives.
Each individual has their own values, and must believe in
themselves if they hope to become something or someone.
Every one has the potential to go far, but only if they try
and put their heart to it will they succeed. And to those
who are not presented with these opportunities, it is up to
us to help them with the opportunities they need.
To achieve this goal and make this dream come true, I have
to believe in myself and tell myself that I can do it.
Becoming a doctor is very important to me and I hope that I
can go all the way with this dream. Helping and saving lives
is a great deed and becoming a doctor helps provide me with
what I need to help people while being successful and making
my parents proud of me at the same time. I believe that if I
put my heart to this thought I could one day become o doctor
and not just say or write these things, but actually do it
and achieve these goals and make my dreams come true!
