19th October 2024

Dear Vikram,
I hope that this letter finds you in great health and your family is well too. I am good here. Yesterday I attended an event that was held at our school. The topic for the same was ‘Aim in Life’. It was such an event that provided great perspective. After that, my aim in life, which is to be a doctor, became a lot more prominent.

Doctors are no less than superheroes in today’s world. Especially after witnessing situations like COVID-19, and seeing how selfless the service of doctors is, my respect for them has increased to a whole new level. Now, my aim in life, which is to be a doctor, has become of utmost importance to me. To me, being a doctor is not just about being in a good profession, it is also about giving back to the community in the form of noble service to people. No matter how hard it is to reach it, I will accomplish my aim in life, I will become a great doctor. And for that, I am ready to study as much as required, dedicating as much time as the profession demands.

I hope that you too are dedicated to the goal that you have set for your life, because dedication is the key to achieving it. It has been a long time since we’ve met. So when you get time, let us catch up and plan an outing together.
I miss you a lot. Hope to see you soon. Till then, take care.

Your loving friend,
Arnav.
