I am a successful doctor and am involved in some imortant research work .And I am certain that it would not have been possible to accomplish my goal to become a doctor and to help mankind if I had not left my small home town just after finishing my school. I feel like this because of the facilities I got here for my higher education, for my reaserch work and because of the way this city makes me feel connected to the rest of the world.
In my home town I always felt nearer to nature. I could breath clean air. I always felt the sense of community. All those I don't get in this city. But what I couldn't get there at my small town was good college or universities for higher education. In the city, there are a lot of colleges and universities which provide very good education. Which prepare you for your career, which provide you enough of opportunity to acquire as much knowlede as you can. They have Good libraries filled with latest books and journals and they give you access to computers and you can reach to all kind of knowlege database through internet. Because of this vast knowlede available to me here in the city I always feel if only days start to have more than 24 hours so that I get more time to learn many more things.
Here, I get all the hi-tech intruments for my medical practice and I have a fully quiped laboratory for my research work and this is only one of the many such laboratories with all advaced intruments. Which helps making these researches a success. It gives me satisfaction to be able to work in such a place with such fine intruments. I feel good by thinking that I can actually make some contribution to the welfare of mankind.
Apart from being a doctor I am a very social person. For which I chose this occupation so that I can meet a lot of people. In my home town I always felt the need to reach out to the outside world, to know different kind of people. Because there everyone around me was just like me. But here in the city I accually feel connected to the rest of the world. Here there are lot of conferences, musical concerts, exhibitions etc going on through out the year. And I always love to attend these. There I can meet people with different interest , different culture, different ideas. I meet people not only from my own city but from other cities and countries and I get to know a lot about the other part of the world.
Yes in the city I get pollutated air , over crowed roads and subways, very little or no sense of community. But when I start looking at the facilities I feel certain that always want to live in a Big city than in a small town.
