" Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all." By Benjamin Franklin

what this quote means to me is that that only thing that means a lot to you is not having great beauty but having a right heart. For example, in the Disney story the beauty and the beast a girl named belle fell in love with a monster because he had a beautiful and right heart. In the end Belles love turned the beast into a man. This shows that having a right heart is the only important thing to have. It is above beauty, strength, and riches. The moral of the story is that you should never judge a book by its cover because they might have a right heart that is sweet and pure. After all everyone is beautiful in their own way and nobody can do take that away form them. A right heart can do anything, even change a beast into a man.

" It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today." By James Freeman Clarke

What this quote means to me is that everything you decide to do whether it is right or wrong will have an impact in future event and make a difference to all eternity as the quote states. This can be seen as the butterfly effect. The butterfly effect is about how one little decision you make can result in a Jurassic change in the future.So if you decide to choose the wrong it can really change your future and the future of those around you. For example if you were to go to a party where there are a lot of alcoholic drinks and you drink some the consequence for that decision may vary. Your could end up getting drunk and get involved in sexual intercourse of crash while drunk driving and those things not only effect you . They effect everyone else around you also. For example if you do go drunk driving, you could risk the chance of murdering an innocent family on the road.  All of which will be cause by you reckless decisions to go to a party and drink alcohol. The person who gets effected most of all is yourself. So try your best to make the right decisions and stay out of trouble because it can save your life and the lives of others around you someday. Hopefully you will always choose the right when you are faced with a difficult decision.

Ophthalmologist 

Duties and responsibilities: As an ophthalmologist, you combine general medicine with precision surgery to improve and preserve the eyesight of your patients. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who specialize in eye care. Conversely, an optometrist can perform similar functions of an ophthalmologist; however, optometrists are not licensed to practice medicine and cannot perform surgical procedures. As an ophthalmologist, you may also perform any or all of these functions, but your training would consist of four years of medical school followed by residency training in ophthalmology.  you're also qualified to perform corrective eye surgery, such as removing cataracts. You may choose from several subspecialties, including cornea and external eye disease, ophthalmic plastic surgery, ophthalmic pathology, glaucoma and pediatric ophthalmology. 

Education: All aspiring ophthalmologists must complete at least three years of undergraduate education, plus an additional four years of medical training. Some accelerated educational programs allow you to obtain a bachelor's degree and a medical degree in 6 to 7 years rather than eight years. For your undergraduate you will have to take courses such as  biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and English to fulfill your medical school prerequisites. Once you enter medical school, you study biochemistry, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, medical laws and ethics, as well as learn how to diagnose and treat illnesses and disorders in a clinical environment. 

Salary: 197,000 annually  

Demand for this profession: the projected job growth for this profession is about 14% between 2014-2024. 

 Reflection: In my opinion I think that I don’t want to be an ophthalmologist because it does sound or look very interesting to me. It is a very weird but needed job around the world but I'm just not that interested in it. So I think that I will not be looking further into this medical career pathway anymore.
