and thinking that I never wanted another family to feel that kind of loss. 我记得看着家人们承受这些痛苦，想着我永远都不要别的家庭也经受这种失去。

Got rejected by all except one. 除了一位，其它的全都拒绝了我。
And then went on, my next summer, to work under Dr. Basu at the UNT Health Center at Fort Worth, Texas. 就这样，在第二个暑假，在位于得克萨斯州华兹堡市的UNT健康中心，我开始了在巴苏博士的指导下工作。
