Reflection: I really found this career very interesting, but i do not desire to become one. I personally do not have an interest in the medical field. To add on, i best do not suit in becoming a surgeon, because of my nerves and actions. I personally do not enjoy going to the doctor for blood draws,etc blood and I are not the bestest friends. I am interested in the body, but do not seek interest being physical with the body.
