Medicine? Definitely yes

  One week of my internship has already affected me so much. It has strengthened my determination to become a doctor.

I realize that I like being in the operating room, but I also like interacting with other people. I enjoy learning about each unique situation and trying to figure out a solution.

The two doctors I shadowed were amazing; they helped me understand their field and shaped the way I hope to be when I become a doctor, especially regarding the manner in which they interacted with their patients.

Ophthalmology is definitely a fascinating field that I want to delve more into. I am already looking forward to the second week of my internship, which will be in August.

  There is one thing that this internship has made clear, though: I want to make a difference in people’s lives.
