B
My fingers trembled as I signed the pre-medical application form. The watercolor brushes on
my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew
brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the
body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my
drawing pads.
Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from
Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—
something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!”
she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My
lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic?” For the first time,
my two worlds didn’t feel so separate.
The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed
something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to
describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the
nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays
arranged like abstract paintings.
Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my
medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical
Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed—graphic designers for science
apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you stand out,”
he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops.
Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once
hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes, I
teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart
and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities.
