8. Final Reflection. Answer these questions underneath each question. Format neatly. Your response should be
longer and deeper than this.

What did I find interesting in this assignment?

I found that the results were very accurate and led me towards career options I was already looking into. I also
found that the courses required to be accepted into these programs are both ones I enjoy and ones I have already
planned on taking.

What did I learn doing this assignment?

By completing this assignment I have discovered how much time and effort I will have to put into my education to
achieve my career goals. It has also given me a more direct path to the programs and courses required in post-
secondary to continue to a full-time career in this line of work.

What programs will I possibly want to take? (This is a summary of your research)

I would most likely want to take a Doctor of Medicine course because it would help work towards a career in
medicine, which is a career path that I have been considering for a while and seems as though it would suit me
fairly well.

What did I like and dislike about the programs?

I like that the programs are based around subjects that I enjoy and that I have already planned to take the courses
required, but I’m not as keen on the fact that it will require a large student loan to pay and I will have to spend extra
time trying to pay it off after I have finished my education.
