A Single Tread in the Tapestry
What does it take to make a
difference? An important reason why I chose to become a doctor is to help
others, the ones who need others’ help. I see several homeless people on the
streets, may it be at the underground crossroads, outside of the hospital or
out on the streets. A good Samaritan or fellow citizen would give them some
change or a bill to ease their miseries. Some even took the extra step and post
on the internet for more people to notice. I gave them some spare change a
couple of times. And I was delighted to find out that some are genuine.
However, I also saw some who used the money to buy alcohol or cigarettes and
some who faked their medical conditions. I was disappointed and went out to
search for other ways to help the truly miserable people.
