Carpe Diem

What makes me come alive is helping people.  Everytime I help people, I get a surge of pride and happiness.  No matter how little the task is, it still makes me feel good.  Just to have someone say "thank you" after I held the door open for them means a lot to me.  When I was a little girl, I would volunteer to help my family, friends, and some strangers because I thought that if you could help someone, you should do it.  I think that's why I want to be a doctor when I get older.  If I got to help people everyday, it would feel like my life had a purpose.  If I became a doctor, I would enjoy helping people to feel better.  I could probably even save someone's life.  It would mean a lot to me if I could apply something that I love to a career.  I would be able to feel alive everyday.
