Three years ago, I got the chance to spend a month as a volunteer helping out in a hospital in Africa. I had one month left at high school, and I was interested in studying medicine at university. I thought it was the perfect chance to get some practical experience and to see if I really wanted to be a doctor.

It was a month that changed my life. I was introduced to a new world that is very different to mine in so many ways. I was horrified at how poor so many of the families over there are and how difficult their lives can be. But I was even more amazed at how positively people go about their everyday lives in Africa. The way they come together and help each other is a real inspiration, and something I think a lot of us have forgotten in the United States. I think many of us don't realize how lucky we are.

My work in the hospital was hard. I spent a lot of time washing floors, cleaning toilets and changing bed sheets. I also got to spend some time looking after the patients. But it was such an honor for me to listen to a patient's story and communicate with people from so many walks of life. And I also got the chance to talk to some doctors and ask them about the profession. I saw some truly awful things in the hospital, but none of them changed my mind about being a doctor. In fact, they only made me more determined to do medicine.

It has been a great experience volunteering in Africa. When I finish, I know exactly what I'm going to do:I want to work for an international organization like the Red Cross and spend my life helping people who haven't been as lucky in life as me. I can't wait to get started.
