Last summer I spent a month helping out in a hospital in Africa. I had one year left at school，and I was 1
interested
(interest) in studying medicine at university.
It was a month that changed my life. I was introduced to a world that is very different from mine in so many ways. There were so many poor 2
families
(family) over there. I was shocked at 3
how
difficult their lives were. However，I was also surprised at how positively people spend 4
their
(they) daily lives.
The way they come together and help each other is a real inspiration. But I think a lot of us here in the UK 5
have forgotten
(forget) it so far. I think many of us don't realize how lucky we are. My work in the hospital was hard. Not only did I spend a lot of time cleaning floors，but I also got to spend some time looking after the patients. And I got the chance 6
to talk
(talk) to some doctors and ask them about the job. I saw some 7
truly
(true) terrible things in the hospital，8
but
none of them changed my mind about being a doctor. 9
In
fact，they only made me more determined to do medicine!
When I finish，I know what I'm going to do：I want to work for 10
an
international organization like the Red Cross. I can't wait to get started.
