I Obey Dreams

I had a dream in which our team that went to Uganda was watching a film. In it, children were being treated for horribly disfiguring skin diseases. In the dream, I was struck with the same painful thought that flooded my mind the entire time I was in Uganda: I wish I was trained to actually do something. In the dream, I realized that the fastest way to get the basics of such training would be to become an EMT.

Thanks to that dream, I'm going to try to become an EMT in my year before medical school. Of course, I plan to also take the MCAT, work a job, shadow a physician, and take some classes.
