Olympic Commitment

This blog post has to do a little with the Olympic games and a little with myself. The athletes who compete in the Olympics have a drive and an ability that takes years of practice, determination, and commitment that is matched by very few people in the world. This post has to do with the task that makes me want to commit to and to give my all to succeed in. The task that makes me want to do that is becoming a doctor.

To become a doctor, you have to put in nearly as much, or possibly more time, than the Olympians in their training. This makes sense though, because how many people want a doctor who put in the minimum time and effort to be their doctor? The same goes for the athletes. My uncle is a doctor, and has told me many times to do as much as I can now, and that may help to lessen my load in school slightly. Between college and med school, my uncle really didn't have time for much else. It may be hard at first, but eventually the rewards make up for the work.

Doctors are also thought of as the elite of society, usually, and the same is thought of the Olympic athletes. The glory of winning your event or of finally getting your diplomas are probably the best feelings in the world. Proving to yourself that you can do it can make anything worthwhile.

This is my commitment. Hopefully, just like all of the athletes wanting to compete, maybe my dream can come true and I can experience the fruits of my commitment.
