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.

Reflection: I would not like to work doing this. I am not very well with things when it comes to bones. I would not like the job of giving surgery to someone. Not only do I not like some of the things listed above but I do not like the fact of me being responsible for someones life while doing surgery. This is why I would not like having this job in my opinion.
