Reflection:

Since I was small I wanted to be a doctor because it looked so professional and high class.However, as i grew older and learned more about the body and roles of a doctor it started to gross me out. Which leads to this, i think becoming a medical assistant is a wonderful opportunity for me. It is not as horrid as doing operations but it is in the medical field. So yes I think i would like to be a medical assistant.
