Sara Stewart – 2007 Global Awareness Award Recipient

from Sara Stewart’s winning essay…

“Knowing how much it means to be given another chance, I make it my goal to help others.  It is important that I help everyone become aware of varying cultures and the diversity that makes the world great.  Diversity brings about the new ideas and opportunities to be found within the world and the minds of each unique person.  I know that many people in the world are seeking the help that I long ago had needed when I was in Korea.  So many parents struggle with shame and the need for medical attention for their children.  When I look around the world, I see warfare, starvation, widespread disease, urgent medical emergencies, daily man-made and natural disasters, and long term needs for assistance…

I have a hunger to learn as much as I can while also helping the world find the crucial needed peace that so many desire.  I have always wanted to become a doctor so that I would be able to help others.  My ultimate goal is to save lives and to help the world become a better place.  Through my aspirations and much thorough research I have come to find that the career I most long to hold is that of a plastic surgeon so that I may one day join “Doctors Without Borders.”
