Reflection: Do you think you would like to be this? Why? Why not? 

This is a career that I do find interesting. I would look into it more if I was looking for what I would want to do. I like it because you're helping others. I want a job in the medical field but not a career where it's on you whether someone lives or not so this would be a good career path.
