Reflection: No I would not like to pursue this career because it doesn't catch my attention. Possibly as I get older my mind will change but for the time being I say no. Although the function of teeth to me is very interesting, this job requires to pay close attention like all other jobs but I feel like this certain job requires more attention. I am also scared that I can do something wrong to my patient and they will be in serious pain and I know when you hurt your teeth or mouth it hurts really bad that you almost can't eat.

"If you do what's right, if you live the right way, you'll be taken care of"
~Rachel Castillo

I agree with Rachel because in reality if you are living right, nothing bad will happen because you will be taken cared of. Rachel did the right thing and returned the money she found and I liked the fact she said that she is christian and she gave the money back because if she kept it she would be lying and stealing. And it's true it is lying because although you didn't say anything, you are hiding the truth and it's stealing because you are taking something that doesn't belong to you knowing the person it belongs to. And it's so true that when you live the right way and do what you know is right, the things that will come against you won't harm you because you are a good person and good people are protected greatly. I like her story because she could have taken it but she saw it identity and not only that but she gave it back to the person. This person needed that money for his health and she helped recover that money he could use to cure himself.

Usually these surgeons provide care to the patient before and after their surgery, this includes check ups and medication. They must be able to multi task because sometimes it requires them to oversee some office administrations and keep record of their patients.

Reflection: No I would not like to pursue this career because I would not like to be in the medical field that involves working with the mouth. To me it is very sensitive like the eye and a person must be very careful. Also it has never interested me to work in this particular job. If I were to pursue a job in the medical field I would pursue a different career.

Arnold H. Glasgow

"In life as in football, you won't go far, unless you know where the goalposts are."
~Arnold H Glasgow

This quote to me is easy to understand. In football your major goal is to score a touchdown and you know where the goalposts are and how much you have to run. Your goals in life are like that, Once you know what you want and what you want to do you'll reach your goal because you know what you have to do to get there. But if you don't know what you want, the goalpost (metaphorically speaking) is nowhere in sight so you won't be able to know what you have to do to there. For example if you want to be a doctor which is your goal, you know what you have to do to get there and you have that in your mind. But if you don't know what you want to be, you don't see your goal and if you don't know where the "goalpost" is, it is difficult to achieve your goal. So yeah I do agree completely with this guy because it's so true. You can't go anywhere if you can't see where you are going and this is what I understand from this quote.

Reflection: Yes I would like to be an optometry technician for a while just until I can get a higher education to become an optometrist. It seems to be an interesting job and even though I'm the technician from there I can get more experience and learn how to do so much more. But I would not want to have this job forever just temporary until I can go up to another position.

Count Leo Tolstoy

"Only those live who do good" 
~ Count Leo Tolstoy.

Tolstoy has a good point. Only those who do good deeds and don't do anything bad live. I heard from many people live while you are young. But if my youth's past were to follow me I would rather have a past where I helped others and did good stuff than a past where I pretty much ruined myself by doing the wrong things I believed would be to feel alive. And even when someone passes away and you know they were a good person, they still live on in our minds and hearts and we have a good memory of them. But if a bad person were to die and all they did was harm people, as bad as this sounds, some will feel a relief that no one will make them feel bad or cause them harm anymore. And it doesn't even need to be death, it can easily be someone moving away. My point is that those who do good when it is not popular live on forever. Those people are the ones who lived because they have no regrets that they never helped someone for example.
