This video got me literally crying as i can totally relate to this man's shame.  Since childhood i really wanted to become a doctor just like my favorite teacher.  i focused in school really hard and earned medals and honors.  But i made bad decisions and a wrong turn somewhere and it cost me my ambition.  Life turned for the worse after my parents died in an accident, i rushed away from home to work in the city and left everything behind.  Unfortunately, i ended up lost in drugs and other petty crimes.

In 2009, i was rushed to the hospital for multiple stab wounds and another one in 2012 for a gunshot wound in the chest that penetrated a lung, both incidents were gang related violence.  After a successful operation and my condition stabilized, the head surgeon gave me a visit while i was on my way to recovery. At first i wasn't able to recognize her, then she revealed to me that she was my grade school teacher and she was really happy to see me all grown up and a chance to finally speak to me. 

But her smile slowly dissipated as she told me that it really saddened her the first time she stitched me and my second trip to the operating table broke her heart in pieces,  she also confessed that a few months after my parents died, she tried to make an arrangement with my uncle that she will pay for my education and lodging so i will continue on my ambitions, but it was too late.  She later added that it made her feel like a failure because she saw a bright future in me for my discipline and diligence in school and not this criminal state i am in now.  It was at this emotional moment that i began to recall everything about her and it made me break down in tears, she was my inspiration and my goal was hers too.  And in a surprisingly swift move, she suddenly turned me on my side and then inserted a carrot in my butt.
