Karen Law with her father, Dr. Stephen Law.
COURTESY OF STORYCORPS
When Stephen Law was a young boy, growing up in Medan, Indonesia, he had a dream of one day becoming a doctor.
He wrote a story about his dream, which was published in the local newspaper.
Now, over 60 years later, Stephen speaks — virtually — with his daughter, Karen, about his childhood and the odds of that dream coming true.
