Last summer, I met Dr. Ayşe Demir, a doctor who works in a small village clinic. She is very ambitious — she always sets high goals for herself and never gives up. Every day, she has to treat dozens of patients who come from nearby villages. Some children in the area suffer from iron deficiency, which means they don’t have enough of an important nutrient in their bodies. Dr. Demir is a brave woman; she is not afraid of working long hours in difficult conditions. She makes quick and decisive choices when there is an emergency — she never hesitates. The villagers are very impressed by her dedication; they admire her deeply. As a powerful role model, she inspires young girls to study medicine. One day, her successor — the next doctor who will continue her work — will carry on her mission.

My name is Can and I am 16 years old. I often think about the problems in the world, and I wish I could do something about them. If I were a superhero, I would help people who suffer from hunger and poverty. I would fly to poor countries and bring them food and clean water. I wish there were no wars in the world. If I had the power of mind control, I would make all the leaders think about peace. I also care about the environment. I wish people didn’t pollute the oceans. If I could clean all the seas in one day, I would do it without hesitation. I wish every child could go to school. If I were powerful enough, I would build schools in every village. These are my wishes, and I believe that even without superpowers, we can all be heroes by helping each other.
