Reflection:

In my professional opinion it is not in my best interest to be involved in any way to this job. Even though it might be in the medical field it is still something i won’t enjoy as my future job. The job is more about educating other about health and i’m not the type of person that doesn’t know how to properly explain things for others to understand.
