Reflection: I wouldn’t want to become a Medical Scientist, because i do not have a big interest in the medical or science field. I personally, do not find this as my personal interest. As well, it is not my strongest subject that i learn easy. I find the learning and focus on the body one of the hardest things to process in my head and learn about. Becoming a Medical Scientist isn’t for me.
