A reminder of my drive to becoming a doctor

During the recent papal visit to Cameroon earlier this year, he made a speech at a Rehabilitation Center in the Capital city of Cameroon, Yaounde. Here is an extract from his speech which sent chills down my spine and reminded me of why I wake up every day wanting so bad to be a doctor and set on the trail of helping my fellow people around the world. Pope Benedict said, Doctors “are called, in the first place, to protect human life” because they “are the defenders of life from conception to natural death.” May God “graciously grant the prayers of all who turn to him. He answers our call and our prayer, as and when he wishes, for our good and not according to our desires,”
