Passion. Something that drives me to do what I love. If it weren’t for passion, where would I be? Maybe working in an office earning a six-figure job getting paid to do something that I absolutely hate.

That’s not how I want to live.

Passion has driven me to do things I would never believe I could do. My passion empowered me to pursue a medical career. My hopes of working in a hospital with the knowledge and care to save a person’s life. My empathy feeds my passion. My soul and heart feed the dreams that I wish to become. Medicine plays a pivotal part in my life and I hope to spread the care to all.

A dream of a family shines through my eyes. My hope for children and their success burns through my heart. The hope for a future where I can aid my children and make them successful throughout their lives. The hope for a better future where I can give them the best life they could ever imagine. The hope of a thousand dreams.

I hope through my empathy and care, I can save people both physically and mentally. I hope with enough knowledge and power, I can enlighten the world to be a better place for everyone. I hope that I can travel to poorer countries and give them just as good of aid as they can get in the wealthiest country. Everyone should be given a chance in the world, and I hope that I can be a catalyst for that change to occur.

I hope that people will be able to trust each other. I hope that people will be able to care for each other. I hope that I can fuel the fire that will allow everyone to come together as a human race, not just separate countries.

Sure, I could get a six-figure office job and go through life as if I was just a bystander. That’s not how I want to live. I want to empower both myself and the entire world to make this a better place for everyone to live. That is my passion, and my passion drives my future.
