In 1989,fresh out of high school,I had the difficult task of choosing a career path before college started in three months.In those days in Pakistan,there were limited options:becoming a doctor or an engineer,or entering the financial world after getting a business degree.I wasn't interested in engineering,so that I was left with medicine or business.I couldn't decide.
My uncle,one of the elders in the family,suggested that I do a work placement to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital.After that,I could make a decision.It seemed like a brilliant idea.
I was accepted for a month's placement at a foreign bank in Karachi.I got a feel for how the world of finance functioned,made new friends,and generally enjoyed the mostly easygoing work surroundings.
The month passed rapidly,and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi.The experience couldn't have been more different.The hospital had an intense environment.The days started early(at 7 a.m.,compared to 9 a.m.at the bank),and were filled with endless duties.And the night calls!This was crazy,working all day,through the night,and again the next day.
I began thinking about my two experiences.The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere,better working hours and less stress.The hospital was full of excitement and unpredictability,but the studying and training were difficult.It seemed that the business option was going to win out.
Near the end of my month at the hospital,I was driving home after an especially busy night call.In front of me was a public bus,with college students sitting on the top.As the driver weaved through(穿梭) traffic,I could see the boys shaking from side to side.

Paragraph 1:
Suddenly,a boy fell off the back of the bus.He hit the road face down and rolled over.He lay motionless in the middle of the road as the bus sped away.None of the cars behind the bus stopped.In fact,I felt the same urge to keep going,but the urge to stop and help was stronger.Knowing that he could die in a matter of minutes,I stopped my car and carefully examined the body.With the help of some passersby,I lifted his unconscious body into the car and raced back to the hospital.After his family was contacted,and he was wheeled into emergency surgery,I drove home,exhausted.
Paragraph 2:
The next day,when I went to hospital to see the boy,all his family got up,with grateful smiles on their faces.The mother held my hands to her face and started weeping.“Son,you are an angel!”she repeated.What a feeling this was,to help save the life of another person!I spent the rest of the day in a state of excitement,the most fabulous mood I had ever experienced. Driving home that evening,I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.Two months of placements could not do what 30 minutes helping an accident victim had done for me.We spend a lot of our time wondering what path to take in our lives.This experience taught me that at times,these decisions are made for you—and that whatever happens is always for the best.
