<p>it is for UNC chapel hill.
also, would I be able to use this same essay to "Write page 89 of your autobiography"?</p>
<p>What's your latest discovery? What do you hope to learn next?</p>
<pre><code>All my life I have been travelling to India regularly to visit family. We would spend the day dodging speeding vehicles in our town of Kottayam or browsing in small shops packed with customers trying to buy this kind of rice or that pirated movie. Whether we were walking around town or playing soccer with the local kids, it always seemed to me like India was the perfect country. Great weather, good food, the company of my family and friends what could be wrong? During our trip after my sophomore year, all that changed.
It was as if I had discovered a new world. The India I had known and loved as a child was no more. As I stepped cautiously into the Bombay clinic to get some hives checked out, I was greeted by lines of partially clad men and women, squatting on the filthy floor. Many of them were from lower castes, wrapped in rags and inflicted with sicknesses that made my hives seem like mosquito bites. These people, who so desperately needed help, were forced to wait while I followed my uncle in shame most of the way up, cutting countless people in line. This situation had to violate some sort of rule. Perhaps a health code or law pushed by some humanitarian group. But nothing happened.
Coming from the United States, this kind of experience was truly one of discovery. The seemingly endless list of rules and regulations to maintain both sanity and the rights of all people blinds us to the situations other countries are in. As members of a country where people make something as trivial as getting cut in line at a fast-food restaurant into a crime against humanity, we feel like we are entitled to equal chances and rights to everything. This is a great luxury that others do not have. Its our job, as people with the quality of life that those in poverty dream of, to help those in need. It is my dream to become a physician and join the Doctors without Borders program and travel to impoverished countries to help the sick who are too poor to receive proper medical treatment or dont have access to adequate medical facilities. The UNC School of Medicine is one of the best in the nation, which, combined with an education and the countless opportunities at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, can guide me and allow me to fulfill this dream. With leaders of medical research such as Dr. Joseph DeSimone, Chapel Hill would be the best institution to enable me to help those in need. His research with nanoparticles is much like what I worked with at the Vitreous State Laboratory at Catholic University over the summer, and really intrigues me. As a member of the human race it is my responsibility to help my fellow humans who are in need. I have found the problem, but now it is my duty to discover the solution within myself.
