I want to be a doctor
I hope I can become a doctor in the future. I was born in a doctor’s family. My parents are both doctors. They are always busy working for patients’ health and have no time to look after me. They saved many people’s live during the SARS two years ago. They’ve made contributions(贡献) to the people and our country. They are called “Angels in White”. They are great in my heart. So I wish to be a doctor like my parents. Then I must study hard to make my dream come true.
