I Want To Help People

I want to be a doctor to help people. Because high school teachers that influence the lives of kids don’t help people. The firefighter who runs into a burning building looking for survivors doesn’t help people. The parole officer who actually gives a damn about his client doesn’t help people. The Coast Guard rescue swimmer who saves you from drowning in the ocean doesn’t help people. The social worker that finds a loving foster family for a child doesn’t help people. The property lawyer that helps your grandmother keep her house doesn’t help people. The scientists who develop cutting edge prosthesis don’t help people. The scientist who develop the drugs that doctors prescribe doesn’t help people. The author who writes the next great American novel does not help people. The software designer that allows you to use a computer does not help  people. The farmer who produces food for the nation doesn’t help people. Nope, no one really helps people besides a doctor.
