If we want to write clearly, we must learn how to punctuate correctly. In fact, every mark of punctuation carries some meaning and gives hints to the readers. An incorrect punctuation mark can often change the meaning of a sentence and cause misunderstanding. Some students tend to use the full stop everywhere in their writing. For example, "The mother loved her children very much. She worked hard. And she saved money for them. But they don't quite understand. The mother is very sad. And that is too bad.? This really sounds terrible. A good writer is always careful about the punctuation. We can be good, too. Now let's start!

From the first day that I entered college, I knew exactly which career I was destined for -- the practice of medicine. I wanted to become a doctor, mostly because of my unique family background. Growing up in a family with eight brothers and sisters, it seemed that someone always needed my help, either physically, or emotionally. As a big brother to so many younger brothers and sisters. I learned that helping others in need is more than simply a career choice; I feel that it is my moral responsibility.

Because I am able to help I feel happy to help those in need. This has led me to serve my fellow students and citizens in many ways: as senior class president and a member of our student council, and as a volunteer in the community and at local hospitals. Each week, despite my busy coursework and research, I manage to help patients with what I have learned. The hearty smiles from those I have helped always encourage me to devote my time and energy for others’ happiness.
