" I Trust That My Hard Work Will Pay Off " 


Tyler Hawks is a Brigham Young University Basketball Player who has never been a talented player, but worked hard to be the best of him team. He would practice with his dad bright and early in the morning and practice the same shots over and over and over. There was times where he made 143 baskets with no misses. His hard work got him into the 2nd player named Mr.Basketball two times in a row, I guess that's a thing now. However, he was committed to church and god so when he got the opportunity to go to a mission he took it with no doubt. He was able to go to a Philippines mission for two years and become the BYU leading scorer. It is quite true that hard work pays off because all his determination got him to where he is now. 

 Ophthalmologist 

Duties and Responsibilities: 

Ophthalmologist have some quite the same duties of an eye doctor. However, they can perform surgeries and treat eye diseases. They can also prescribe contact lenses and glasses to the patients that need it.

Education: 

To become an ophthalmologist you need a four year postgraduate training after obtaining a medical degree. You need a three year residency in ophthalmology with a one year internship. That is you need 4 years of college and 4 years of medical school.  

Demand of Profession: 

According to the BLS only a 14 percent increase of jobs will open for ophthalmologists on the next 10 years.  

     

Reflection: 

I think that besides a very long time of schooling to become an ophthalmologists it can be worth it if you want to be one for the eyes. But if I was to choose what I would want to do for the rest of my life I wouldn't like to be this. That is because being in an office is not for me and the surgeries aren't either.
