I feel sorry for people, but I still feel good about myself and get this warm feeling when I think about the adverse conditions I went through just to help people without expecting anything in return. It was during vacation after high school that I went to visit my uncle and grandparents in a village in Nepal. I still remember the incident that happened in vivid detail. Almost everyone in the village had gone to attend a wedding ceremony, but me and a few of my childhood friends went swimming in the nearby river. When we returned, we found that almost everyone in our village looked sick and most of them were nauseated or vomiting. The whole scenario seemed chaotic. An assistant health worker (AHW), who was the only trained health worker in the entire village, started the fluid infusion. I helped him by bringing him bottles of normal saline from the nearby market, but I still didn't feel like I was doing enough. I felt the need to put on gloves and start treating people myself. When AHW told me that the cause was most likely food poisoning, I began to study the symptoms, types and treatment of food poisoning on the Internet, on my cell phone, while lying in bed. Even if I didn't understand everything
