|
My parents. They lived in South Africa during the apartheid and grew up in very poor, unfavorable conditions, and yet they managed to make it through that and get their degrees, and become very successful and improve their living conditions immensely, and in doing so have given me a life full of opportunities. They are also very generous, open minded people that have a multitude of values that they uphold without fail. I plan to work just as hard as they did to succeed in my life and help others do the same. |

As said before, I wish to become a surgeon, and start a Non profit organisation for disabled people living in poverty. I wish to adopt children, as there are so many children in the world that have been born into unfair conditions and deserve a family that they will often never get. I wish to live in Europe, and open my own practice there, whereas my charity organisation will be based in South Africa. |
