I also forgot to mention, at Christmas Two of my friends from school Charlie Parkes and Hester Davies, thought up an idea to raise money for the Percy Hedley Foundation, http://www.percyhedley.org.uk/landing.asp?id=8 Charlie's younger sister aged 13 has an undiagnosable condition similar to cerebral palsy, she attends this school in Newcastle and it has majorly benefited her life , this was really close to Charlie's heart and wanted to do all he could to help the school, so a charity ball was organised , many people attended and through the selling of tickets and raffle tickets, auctions e.t.c and donations, over £2000 pounds was raised , everyone came and showed their compassion and willingness to help which is so important in being a doctor , the drive to make a difference outside of the workplace too , as i see being a doctor a life choice not just a 9-5 job. This inspired me and i plan to join Charlie up there soon to do some volunteering at the school itself , plus i have inquired about working at a local hospice. Get out and continue to raise money for charity ! Every little helps !
