One incident that changed my life


My name is Monica.


(I, Me) study at Miami Dade College. My goal is to be a good doctor in the future. (I, Me) love working with people. (They, Them) make me feel needed.

One time when (I, me) was in the hospital, I saw this child who was screaming because (he, him) was in a lot of pain. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know how to help (he, him).


All of the people around me weren’t paying attention to (he, him).
I asked the doctors to help (he, him), but (they, them)
just ignored (I, me) me because they were busy with other patients.

Then I decided to approach the little boy. When I touched his hand, (he, him) looked at (I, me) and smiled. I knew that this was enough for (he, him) to stop crying because (he, him)
just needed some attention and love.

Since then I wanted to be a doctor, helping people
and comforting (they, them) in difficult situations.
