how I am respectful to Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa was not only a missionary of religion but of all kinds of things we can learn. In her childhood, she was told some story of the poor, and then inspired to be dedicated to her religion, which is somewhat impossible for common people such as us. Even being told to follow the rules, disciplines, or regulations, we often do those superficially, for not willing to be punished or fined. We never do it from the truest part of our heart. It is always worth us wondering why the difference between Mother Teresa and us is so distinct, and why can’t we do something in order to make us different from the common others.

From the very beginning, I’ve always wondering those questions, which seem to be unable to deal with throughout our life span. To figure them out, I tried very hard observing the relationship how the adults cope with, pondering why the regulations or disciplines had to be made and then followed, and so forth. However, the efforts were in vain in the final. Nothing really paid off, if I keep questioning those things which were complexes. So I change myself and make my life goal to the real side of life. That’s the reason why I finally resolved to be a doctor.

As a man assigned with mission, we should not only help the poor, but also sympathize them with our deepest heart. It really common that why doctors to be a doctor is just because the wealth, which is quite a selfish reason. Doctors should be as dedicated as Mother Teresa, and not demanding any possible reward as her. We should follow her and set her as a model that helps those poor in need.

I-Chung night market

If a foreigner comes to Taichung, there’s no doubt that I will take them to the best market in Taichung, the I-Chung. It is famous for various street vendors selling a wide diversity of different foods, from finger foods, drinks, sweets, to sit-down dishes. In I-Chung night market, one can also find fried chicken fillet, refreshing fruit ices, and much more.

Just by taking bus or taxi, you can easily get there. Most of the bus path passes the I-Chung because lots of students go there for cram-school. The bus stop lies in front of another school, named Taichung Institute of Technology. Walking straight for less than a minute, you will see the noted school, I-Chung, where I was in a year ago. In the rush time of about six o’clock, you might be astounded by crowds of students rushing to the cram-school tall building, “Swei-Li building.” The resources of after-school-education almost all gather here. So students get no choice but to come here for further study after school, which might be a weird phenomenon for you.
However, it is one of the reasons why the I-Chung is prosperous and vigorous. Students are one genre of their major clients.

Pearl milk Tea or Bubble Tea, which you might hear a lot, has dominated the majority of foreigner drink market. Everyone who comes to Taiwan should not lose it. It originated from Taichung, the city you are right now in, and soon blew out to be a triumph, nearly every drink vendors sell it. The beverage is made from little tapioca balls that are boiled in black sugar and dropped in the milk tea. The tapioca balls are the special feature of the tea. You may have been eaten milk tea, which is not rare to you at all. But you will be pleasantly surprised how the tapioca balls feature the milk tea. When you suck through the tube, you can see black balls coming up, rolling into you mouth, and then you will start chewing it with instinct. At the same moment, you will be startled, “how could the milk tea be so delicious when there are tapioca balls!”

Stinky tofu is notorious for its strange odor to any foreigner who has never eaten it before. It’s usually treated fried, with pickles surround it, for the acidity could moderate the food oily smell. If you really do not want to eat STINKY tofu, I will not force you. But if you ask me for advice whether to eat it or not, I will recommend you eat it. The crispy and saucy taste will certainly reminds you of Taiwan after years.

Super Size Huge Chicken Cutlet is one of the most popular street foods in Taiwan. However, this snack at I-Chung Night Market is famous for its jumbo size. It is 1.5 times larger than regular friend chicken; perhaps larger than your face. Taiwanese fried chicken is soaked in special sauce before frying, and its taste is mixed with spicy pepper and aromatic herbals, and the meat quality is tender and juicy; it is of its own kind other from common western style fried chicken.

Hearing those various famous Taiwanese snacks, I bet you now can not wait to visit the I-Chung, do you? Follow my steps close, let’s go forward to the Night market right now!

Free writing - finished by my classmates and me.

Music is one of my hobbies. Some say that it can heal people with fantastic magic. It proves to be true. When I somehow feel sad or lonely, I will take up my guitar, and start singing with the melody. The image in my brain will emerge like a beautiful scenery I’ve been longing for. Music can help heal people and help kids grow. Some bakeries even claim that played Mozart’s music while making the bread to make it more delicious. I didn’t start to learn guitar until high school. It is relatively late in comparison with people who learned music during their entire life span. In order to compensate it, I practiced four to five hours each day. After one year, I became a quite mature guitar player. I can listen to a new song and play it out right away. We set up a band. A band with numerous styles such as rock,jazz and so on. But I think piano is also a good choice. Its sound is pure and graceful it can help people from pressure and stress. For example the movie music and lyrics is a good movie talking about music. I think music can save people from soul exhausted and can also bring them happiness. Music is something dominant my life.

What's inside the pig's heart!?

We, human-beings, indisputably, are mammal. According to the scientific researches, we can apparently find that the pig’s heart resemble the one in human. As a pre-medical student, we had a class, biological research, on Thursday, try to dissect the pig’s heart, and also analyze the vessels in the heart. If you do not dare see the bloody scene, you’d better stop reading the rest of the article. For us, who had anatomized so many animals, such as sharks, mice, and so. It was nothing more than a common thing to us. You might think we are so cruel, but only by anatomy could we learn more about the fantasy of the whole creatures. So get ready and enjoy the article that analyzes the pig’s heart.

At first, the pig’s heart was in a totally chaos situation because the lungs and tissues surround it, making it look like a big bloody flesh ball. Following the teacher’s advice, we start from the obvious aorta, and cleaning the tissues like fat or flesh out of the vessels. Then we forward to the pulmonary artery which stems from the right ventricle, and strip off the unwanted tissues as well, in order to view the vessel more clearly. It sounds like an easy task doing this; however, it took us more than an hour to finish this. As we carried on, we can observe that there was a branch near the end of pulmonary artery, connected with two lungs, indicating that the place is where they exchange the oxygen. Because our mission today was only clean the vessels out of tissue, the teacher asked us to cut the lung off from the vessels. Until then, all the arteries are nearly formed, while the veins were still bond by tissues. Time was running so fast, we then proceed to observe the coronary artery. It divides from the aorta to three other vessels and spread almost all the heart. By viewing the picture, the coronary arteries were under the white material, which is fat tissue, protecting it from the external hit.

Finally, the most exciting show came. We place the heart in a plane situation, and used the scissor to cut a little gap. From the gap, we kept on by cutting along its surface. After the procedures are over, we could peel it and place it open like a “heart mouse.” In the picture, we can see how the left atrium and ventricle, right atrium and ventricle, bicuspid, tricuspid, semilunar valves, pulmonic valve, papillary muscle…etc. We can also imagine how the blood flow: from the anterior and posterior cana vena converge to the right atrium, passing the tricuspid to right ventricles, also passing the pulmonic valve to pulmonary artery, exchanging blood oxygen, afterwards, flowing to the pulmonary veins, converging to left atrium, passing the bicuspid to the left ventricle, and then proceed to the aorta. It seems to be a long, long journey, but in fact, it happens in less than a minute.

After the class was finished, we were so tired as usual, for we had almost used up all of our energy into the anatomy. Thanks to it, I gradually realized how complex beings’ organs are, and could see a little more clearly how my life will be. As I was wondering, I coincidentally raised my head up. I found the sky was so blue and bright as if my future was shining.
