This evening, I attended the 2009 MOH Health Sciences Scholarship Ceremony.37 scholars were selected from an original applicant group of more than 2000. They will soon head to local and overseas university to pursue their course of study in Pharmacy, Podiatry, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Dietetics and Social Work.
They took the Health Sciences Scholar Pledge and went on to put on a most impressive performance, culminating in a touching segment where every scholar had a statement on their individual goals for the patient set against Michael Jackson's "Heal The World" song.
As I watch each statement flashed across the screen, I am encouraged that each of the scholars has a dream larger than themselves and wants to make a difference to the patient and to the society.
There is hope when our bright and young have such ideals and aspirations.
I wish them well and success in their studies. May they come back and help make the world a better place.
