A Letter to My Future Self

Dear Dr. Sheila,

I hope you are wearing gloves right now, about to save someone’s life. I am still in school, dreaming of being a surgeon. I want to help sick people by doing operations.

Do you still remember how you used to take care of your baby dolls and pretend they were patients? Now real people need you!

Be gentle. Hold people’s hands before surgery. Pray for them too. Not everyone is brave, but you are.

Even if it gets hard, don’t give up. God made your hands strong for a reason. Use them to heal, not harm.

Love always,
The small Sheila with big dreams.
