As a professional doctor, I’ve participated in numerous national and international events. (Introductory sentence)

However, last year I attended a seminar at the United Nations headquarters in Washington D.C on a deadly virus recently discovered in India. (When and Where)

I participated in the seminar on behalf of the Indian Medical Association (IMA) since I’ve worked and written scientific papers on the virus in leading journals. I delivered a seminar on the environmental conditions in which the virus proliferates and infects humans. (Role)

Working on the seminar was the most difficult task. Since I’m a working professional with more than 10 hours work schedule every day, preparing for the lecture was a Herculean task. I had to give up all leisures and cut on my sleep to achieve the target. (Hardest Part)

However, the sacrifice was worth taking since the seminar earned me a name in the international community. (Closing)
