Reflection

Yes this career did interest me, I liked the fact that the career had to do with helping people and boosting their self esteem. I am the kind of person who likes to see everyone happy and the thought having a job where I can make someone feel happy makes me happy. What really caught my attention was that not only are you helping people but you are helping them mentally, physically, and emotionally. That is a big part that I would want to help people as far as when I am looking for a particular career I want to study for. Well why you might ask? Well because when you do something good for someone out of the greatness and kindness of your heart it makes you feel good to know that you did something right. I am all about smiles. Out of 365 days in the whole year you would rarely catch me not smiling. This is why making other people happy is a big part of what I would want to do when I am older.

Reflection: I would not want to be an x ray technician because bones scare me. Or just seeing anything inside the body in general scares me. However, I would want to be an x ray technician that checks for the ultra sounds. That would be something I would want to do that has to do with checking anything inside the body and doing x rays. Though an x ray technician is a good career to follow this just isn't something I would want to do.

Reflection:

I would want to be a plastic surgeon because many people feel as if they are worth less than what they are because of the appearence they have on others or just in general. I would love to make people feel confortable in their own skin and show them they everyone is beautiful in diffrent way. One person might not have the perfect smile or even have the perfect nose, body, or lips but that is what makes someone unqiue and beautiful. My mom always talks about how if she had the money to get a tummy tuck or a mommy makeover that she would do it but honestly I think she is perfect the way that she is and she should feel that with surgery that she would look better or have a better impact on people. I feel that this would be a good career for me because I have insecurities within myself as well but I just learn to accept me for who I am. If I don't have confidence and except me for who I am no one else will. I would love to not physically do the surgery but tell people that lack of confidence is normal and changing your appearence will it really help you change the way you view yourself? It isn't what is on the outside it's all about what is on the inside.
