"Yes, I have, for a year now." The official nodded, her gaze returning to the file. "And you're applying for...?" she trailed off, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. Madelyn leaned in slightly, her voice filled with determination. "A surgeon position here!" she declared, her eyes shining with confidence.
The officials composing themselves after their brief laughter, turned their attention back to Madelyn, their expressions now serious and inquiring.
"So, Madelyn, yeah?" one of them began, her tone friendly but professional.
"Yes, ma'am," Madelyn responded, her eyes locked onto the speaker.
"What inspired you to pursue a career in medicine?" the official asked, her eyes sparkling with genuine interest.
"I wanted to make a difference in people's lives and help those in need," Madelyn replied.
Madelyn's response was met with nods of approval from the officials.
"That's admirable," one of them said, smiling.
