Part 1:
The poem from Richard Hugo that caught my interest is “In Your Small Dream.” Hugo describes a small town with a unique building and three different streets coming out of it. I liked how he described three streets, the main street where most restaurants are there and he is thrown out from those restaurants because he didn’t have any money, and he also talks about the third street, which is isolated and may be full of criminals, the third road is severe and you may never see. My favorite paragraph was at the bottom of the poem where Hugo describes the journey on the third street, “The day darkens. You look hard for the third road. You ask a giant, Where? The giant glowers, “The third road is severe.” You run and run.”
Part 2:
Every day I come up with a new dream and add them to my list of existing dreams, some of which I have already accomplished and the others I am trying my best to reach it. Like people say, “Sky is the limit,” I try my best to achieve it. One dream or goal that I have and is one of my top priorities is to live my life to its fullest, a life where I can spend my time with my family who has helped me at every phase of my life, a life where I can interact more with the nature, a life where I won’t spend my time browsing on internet. School and work make it difficult for us to go out and live a life, plus the addition of smartphones makes it worse.
Part 3:
A vision that I have for my country is to give back to them, I am from India and not many people there could afford drugs. I had worst experiences with the retail pharmacies in India, industrial Competition makes drugs very expensive and hard to reach for the middle class and lower-class societies. In addition to that, some pharmacies give out drugs without a prescription by charging a little more, which is unsafe on part of both patient and the pharmacist. I aim to be a Pharmacist and go back to India to help people in my country who cannot reach out to expensive drugs. I cannot bring a change in a country with billions of people alone, change must come from the people by educating them and involvement, and strict rules from the government.
I remember doing my profile journal after interviewing you and I remember your dream. I always thought that was an amazing and caring dream you had. And very doable. Keep dreaming and doing what you're doing because that would be an mazing gift for your country.
ReplyDeleteYour dream is very compassionate, and I hope it comes true for you! It's awesome that your dream of success is so geared toward helping other people. Not many people can say that about themselves. It shows a lot of vision to see a problem and dedicate your life to fix it the way you have. The people of India are very lucky to have someone like you. I hope your dream is fulfilled by every aspect of your life.
ReplyDeleteMohammed, you have a really powerful vision. I can also relate to you, I also know in my country of Kenya, many people cannot afford medications. Wow, I can’t imagine how some pharmacists give out more drugs without a prescription for some more money in India. I hope you get to accomplish your goals of becoming a pharmacist and helping your country. This is very honorable. Keep working hard!
ReplyDeleteMohamed, you really have a realistic dream.All dreams need actions and you easily achieve them.I love how you are concerned about your people and your willingness to help them. you are the type of people who always succeed in their lives. I hope it will be very smooth for you to achieve. Good luck and stay optimistic.
