Chapter one
2017.
The teacher was talking about dream that day, asking the students one by one what their dream was.
One of them said,
‘‘My dream is to be a psychiatrist.’’
‘‘That is an exceptional one. Do you want to share why you want to be a psychiatrist?’’
The boy took a deep breath and said something unexpected.
‘‘My best friend had mental health problems. But he never got proper counselling or treatment. Finally, he ended up dying a premature death. Although I tried my best, I couldn’t help him. That’s when I decided to be a psychiatrist, so that I can help some people when they need it, so that I can help them to live a better life...’’
The teacher was surprised. He only said,
‘‘I appreciate your love for your friend and the fact that you care about helping people. I wish that you will be able to fulfil your dream.’’
He meant it.
