Last summer I got the chance to spend a month helping out in a hospital in Africa. I had one year left at school, and I was 1． (interest) in studying medicine at university.

It was a month that changed my life. I 2． (introduce) to a world that is very different to mine in so many ways. I was shocked at how poor so many 3． (family) over there are and how difficult their lives can be. But I was also surprised at how positively people spend 4． (they) daily lives.

The way they come together and help each other is a real inspiration, and something I think a lot of us here in the UK have forgotten. I think many of us don't realize 5．lucky we are. My work in the hospital was hard. Not only did I spend a lot of time cleaning floors, but 6． I got to spend some time looking after the patients. And I got the chance 7． (talk) to some doctors and ask them about the job. I saw some truly awful things in the hospital, 8． none of them changed my mind about being a doctor. 9． fact, they only made me more determined to do medicine!

When I finish, I know 10． I'm going to do: I want to work for an international organization like the Red Cross. I can't wait to get started.
