An event that changed my life
I have never forgotten that moment when I heard some very bad news that changed my life. The person who was my uncle died two years ago. His death was a great shock to me. When I found out that he only had three months to live, I felt really sad about that. He died from cancer. I had no chance to talk with him. Now I understand why he always said that humans can’t exist without air as similar as humans can’t have a nice life without a healthy body. He had gotten cancer 2 years before. But he had never told anybody because he did not want anybody to worry about him. My uncle was a teacher and he taught me a lot of things about life and studying. I remember when I was in high school, I always had some argument with my parents and I did not like to stay at home. I was not a good student in the teacher’s mind. My teacher told me like, “don’t think it like this, don’t do anything like that”. But I always listened to it with left ear and it went through on my right ear. So I really regret that I had never accepted his opinion before. Granted that I want to listen to him, I have no chance anymore. Whatever I have remembered he spoke to me for his last moment. He held my hand tightly and talked to me very slowly. He said, “You are not a little kid now, you can control your life with your own mind. You are going to be a successful person. Listen to your parents’ opinion. They love you so much. When you are old, you have to look after them.” I was pained by his sickness. My uncle’s words rose in my mind during the life. It helps me more in the future. Basically, I want to be a doctor because of my uncle. I think doctors are the people who can help the patients directly whenever they need. You will feel more successful after that. In order to achieve my goal I must study hard from now on. Furthermore, my uncle also talked about the relationship of the relative is more important. Now, I am in communication with my parents when I have some problem. We can get on well with them always. Life is valuable, and we only have one life, life belongs to us only one, so we need to do something that we will not regret.
