Self-Reflection-

I think this job is cool. I like this job because you are helping people in a way that does not
involve directly working their blood or organs. I may not like it though because if you make a mistake in
someone’s eating styles them you could potentially hurt them, but its good because if you did make the
mistake it wouldn’t be bad enough that it would kill them. This job sounds very fascinating and I would
not mind doing it.
