Hello, I am Nikhil Agarwal, and I am a student at Independence Highschool.
Ever since I was young, I have always had a desire to become a medical doctor. However, being able to be admitted into medical colleges is extremely difficult, some colleges even require aspiring students to attain well over 450 hours of medical volunteering.
Although medical volunteering hours are a great opportunity for students to be exposed to the environment, they may one-day be working in, students need to realize the significance of these volunteering opportunities.
They are not simply numbers you track in a log book so you can one day submit them to colleges and the admission board, but instead gaining insight and experience from these volunteering opportunities is the main goal.
Volunteering for UNESCO BMW is one of the opportunities I had which gave me more confidence and self-esteem which allowed me to believe I am capable of taking on more responsibility and work.
Being self-aware of my goal and interest allows me not only to prepare for the rigors of school work, but also allow me to envision possible future jobs.
However, it is through meditation which allows me to pursue this goal. Being self-aware of one’s capabilities and limits allow us to make decisions which enable us to go further in life.
Meditation has helped with this as it allows me to have a more concentrated attention to carefully think through important decisions, but also helps me relax and stay calm even through stressful periods in which school gets excessively difficult.
And it is only through meditation which allows me to stay focused and aware of my plan of moving forward into medicine.
Join our UNESCO BMW for world inner peace, thank you!
