Begin your summary as follows:
Hurricane Katrina had the most devastating impact on Louisiana where
wetlands were damaged. The vegetation in the marshes may not grow back and those along water sources have disappeared. Whatever remains has turned brown.
Local sea harvests reduced by Katrina and Louisiana’s oysters have destroyed.
Thus, US imported oysters. Furthermore, many fishermen were unemployed and unsettled. The Floodwater was contaminated with household chemicals which
disrupted underground gas and oil tanks .Leaking sewer and gas pipes added on to the contamination of floodwater. Human corpses and dead pets increased risks of bacterial contamination. Therefore, dredged material was placed for platform for plants to grow.
The Louisiana costal Area Ecosystem Restorations plans to rebuild barrier islands and lost marsh grass replanted.

A discussion of your career choice
Doctors, also called physicians, have an effect on everyone’s life. They treat people when they are sick or hurt. They give advice to patients to help keep them from getting sick. They bandage knees, prescribe medicine, sew up cuts, and operate on bones. They bring new babies into the world and comfort older people who are sick or dying.
People often know at a young age that they want to become doctors. Perhaps they are naturally good at math and science. Maybe they have a desire to help people and to make a difference in people’s lives. Or, they may just want a job that is full of challenges.
How doctors spend their time depends on what type of physician they are and where they work. Some doctors work in hospitals, some work in offices, and some work in laboratories. Many work very long hours, from the early morning until well after dark. Others keep regular daytime office hours. In fact, the only thing that all doctors have in common is that no two days are ever exactly the same.
Their Typical work activities include: running surgeries, listening to and questioning patients sensitively; referring patients to specialist services in hospitals; maintaining patient confidentiality and impartiality; planning and providing appropriate treatment; commissioning health care by liaising with medical professionals in the community and hospitals; promoting health education in conjunction with other health professionals; organising preventative medical programmes for individual patients; meeting targets set by the government for specific treatments, e.g. child immunizations; managing resources to service the targets as effectively as possible; providing advice on medical care, including immunisations for those traveling abroad; providing specialist clinics for specific conditions or for certain groups, e.g. diabetes or new babies; using IT skills - some practices have one partner who may specialise, in the use of IT within the practice, but all will be expected to have basic abilities for work such as maintaining patients' records; keeping up to date with medical developments, new drugs, treatments and medications, including complementary medicine (the internet is increasingly being used as a means of researching and gathering information on medical products);

Information about the career of your choice
Everyone is born with different ambititons and motives in an ambitition too,of becoming a doctor. 'A doctor, like anyone else who has to deal with human beings, each of them unique, cannot be a scientist; he is either, like the surgeon, a craftsman, or, like the physician and the psychologist, an artist. This means that in order to be a good doctor a man must also have a good character, that is to say, whatever weaknesses and foibles he may have, he must love his fellow human beings in the concrete and desire their good before his own.' says W. H. Auden. A doctor simply means a person who qualified to practice medicine.
However, there would be definetly be someone or something who inspires you to choose the career.In my case,there was someone's death behind it.When I was young, I had a younger brother whose age was three.He was born prematurely and thereby, became deaf and dumb.At the age three, he went through countless operations and therapists.
It was regarding his disability to walk and the damage of his brain soon led to his death.When I witnessed the tragic incident, I went through depression as his death leaved a great impact in my life.Thus, this provoked the desire in me of becoming a doctor where I could help children like my brother and save their lives.
