Reflection: Do you think you would like to become one?Why? Why not?

I would consider to become a Health Educator. This job seems like a very important, but not much of a struggle to do. This job would be a great for me,because i wouldn’t want to be away from home and i can work in my community. This job can help inform others to become a better well-being and i can help out my own and other communities as well. This job may fall under the medical field, but as long as i don’t have any physical contact with blood or anything else i'm good. This job is a consideration, but not at my top seeings.
