Dear Lucy,

a. Last summer I got the chance to spend a month helping out in a hospital in Africa, and it was a month that changed my life.

b. My work in the hospital was hard—I spent a lot of time cleaning floors and changing bed sheets, but I also got to spend some time looking after the patients.

c. And I had the chance to talk to some doctors about their profession. I saw some truly awful things in the hospital, but they only made me more determined to do medicine!

d. I was horrified at how poor so many of the families over there are and how difficult their lives can be, but also amazed at how positively people go about their everyday lives.

e. When I finished, I knew exactly what I was going to do: I wanted to work for an international organisation like the Red Cross or Médecins sans Frontières and spend my life helping people overseas who haven’t been as lucky in life as me.

I couldn’t wait to get started. What about you? Tell me about your career intentions.

Love, Nadia
