Ali Baba was such a poor man that he had only one shoe for his two feet. Even mice in his house were hungry.
One day his wife said, “We have no food in the house. No rice. No potatoes. Go and collect leaves in the forest so that I can make a soup.”
Ali was a lazy man. He looked for leaves for about ten minutes and then he climbed a tree to sleep. He was afraid of wolves. When he woke up he was surprised to see forty thieves on forty horses. They stopped in front of the big rock.
“Open, Sesame!” shouted the leader. A door in the rock opened. The thieves carried sacks full of gold into the cave. When they had finished, the leader shouted, “Close, Sesame!” and the door closed. As soon as the thieves had disappeared, Ali Baba jumped down from the tree and said, “Open, Sesame” and went into the cave.
There were shelves all around the walls. The shelves were full of sacks. The sacks were full of gold. Ali took a sack home with him.
One of the thieves saw Ali’s footprints on the sand. He followed them to Ali’s home. He took out his knife and made a cross on the door.
“Now I shall know which house it is”, he said. He rode off to get the other thieves. But Ali had seen the thief.
He and his wife took the brooms and swept away the footprints. Then he made crosses on every door in the street. When the forty thieves arrived they had their knives between their teeth. But they never found Ali – or the gold. And Ali and his wife lived happily ever after.

I also want to work directly with people and help them improve their health. Because health is the most valuable thing a person has. When we are sick, we absolutely do not want to comprehend science, or play sports or anything else. A sick person just wants to lie in bed and wait until, finally, his condition improves. And I want to give people a chance to recover and improve their condition.

Why do I want to become a doctor? I believe that this is the most necessary and humane profession. There is no profession more important than a doctor who relieves suffering, gives faith in life, gives recovery .. The work of a doctor is hard, but interesting. It consists in a great duty - to help people, to be kind and sympathetic, attentive to them and their illnesses. The doctor has no right to make mistakes. An incorrectly diagnosed diagnosis, inattention, even simple indifference to the patient can end someone's life. A doctor who is selfish and dishonest cannot be a good professional. I try to develop good character traits as much as possible.
