Reflection:
  This job does not interest me. I'm not very interested in the medical field because i feel like it's a lot of pressure. I couldn't handle knowing someone's life is in my hands. They also don't get paid the right amount of money for what they do. So since I'm not passionate about this i wouldn't do it.
