On my first day there, after an hour of "training," I met Paul, a tall, emaciated, forty-year-old AIDS victim who was recovering from a stroke that had severely affected his speech. I took him to General Hospital for a long-overdue appointment. It had been weeks since he had been outside. After waiting for two and a half hours, he was called in and then needed to wait another two hours for his prescription. Hungry, I suggested we go and get some lunch. At first Paul resisted; he didn’t want to accept the lunch offer. Estranged from his family and seemingly ignored by his friends, he wasn’t used to anyone being kind to him — even though I was only talking about a Big Mac. When it arrived, Paul took his first bite. Suddenly, his face lit up with the biggest, most radiant smile. He was on top of the world because somebody bought him a hamburger. Amazing. So little bought so much. While elated that I had literally made Paul’s day, the neglect and emotional isolation from which he suffered disgusted me. This was a harsh side of medicine I had not seen before. Right then and there, I wondered, "Do I really want to go into medicine?"

Destroying the Elder Wand was Harry’s first decision in the wizarding world that he made entire on his own without the weight of Voldemort hanging over him. Though Harry never asks for power, it is thrust upon him by those motivated by avarice. Having lived with the Dursleys who had power over him for the first eleven years of his life and then with Voldemort gaining power over the wizarding world,and Fudge who is unfit for power, every power figure in his life abused or misused their power. This also applies to Dumbledore, who Harry thought he knew well, but really only truly knew in death. Throughout the course of their final meeting Dumbledore explains he learned to be content with only the elder wand because he knew what the power of all three deathly Hallows would do to him. Dumbledore was a mentor to Harry and it was his intention for the wands power to die with him. So it's fitting that harry, understanding Dumbledore's wisdom would follow in his mentor's suit. Additionally many of the Oldest wizarding families had power through their blood status and the accompanying wealth, specifically the Malfoys and Black families, who were portrayed as corrupted, hateful individuals. His loathing towards Draco is only added to when Lucius Malfoy uses his influence in the ministry to attack Harry’s closest friends such as Hagrid and the weasleys.

Since I was five years old, I could not wait to take the SATs. While admittedly an odd ambition, I am no masochist. Rather, my anticipation had been building to be tutored by my brilliant Aunt Diane. Nine first cousins and thousands of others had been fortunate enough to be her students, and it was finally my turn.

I have always been “the smart one.” In high school, everyone came to me for answers. They thought I knew everything; I thought I knew everything. It wasn’t until I started college that I realized that high school was just a back and forth between memorizing and forgetting. I started college and it struck me that I could dive head first into what I wanted to know. I could spend time really learning what I wanted to learn. I’m not saying I didn’t learn anything in high school because I did. I just didn’t value knowledge as much as I do now. I’ve been in college for a semester now and in that semester, I realized that I don’t just want to learn. I thirst for new facts,

Reading is a trip to the fantasy worlds, which, in reality, trains us as good writers. Anything that compels an individual to read more exposes him or her to a variety of key elements that is useful for writing. Reading something of interest not only brings pleasure, but it usually allows the reader to learn something from what he or she has read. A good writer reads with an eye for the writing, whether that is directly or indirectly, but most of what we grasp from the texts are what we use in our writing.

The doctor’s voice was sickening to my core and her words burned like a Californian wildfire. Hearing that my pitiful life would be held captive with other sad souls made my veins go cold and heart go bloodless yet still beating so hard that my body might shatter.
