One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a medical student, I spent a month in Quito delivering medical care to the barrios around Quito in a traveling clinic. This was an amazing experience and opened my eyes not only to the vast need of people around the world for healthcare access, but also to the fact that people can live beautiful lives on nothing. I saw happiness in the destitute, and it made me evaluate my own life and the merits on which I base my happiness.
