All during this time he re-established his desire to go into the medical field in order to serve his community. Granted, he is still in school now and has yet to hang his medical license. But. I can assure you that there are many people out there that have honorable and authentic intentions when they serve to heal.

I'm in vet school now, and yes, I hope to make a good living. But that is no where near the reason why I want to be a vet...I could make a LOT more money doing other things (things that don't take so many years of school and cost so much in tuition). I'm sure there are a few vets/doctors out there that only care about making money, but the majority are in it for other reasons.
