I believe service is one of the best ways to share love and happiness in this life. I decided
to study medicine and teach so I could share love by serving others. My purpose in life is to
teach, to love and to take care of people, for teaching, loving and caring bring a lot of
happiness in my life and in the lives of the people I serve.
A lot of people I met were unhealthy and desperate because of their bad lifestyle
or a lack of skills. Taking the time to provide medical help to those patients or sharing
my linguistic skills in teaching the students a new language give them hope. Unhealthy
and unemployed people can’t be happy. But after I helped them in their situation, their
lives have changed completely. They learned to eat healthy food, do exercise, have a
job, develop new skills, and provide for their family. I believe that because of my
dedicated service, they have a healthy life filled with happiness and opportunities now.
As Mahatma Ghandi says, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the
service of others.”
Your dedicated Servant,
Dr. Reginald Canon
