“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”

-Charles Ketterer

             I couldn't agree more, I mean people are always talking about how they want to know what destined for them and what their future is going to be like when in reality them are actually seeing a portion of it without them even noticing. Like also this great quote I found a couple years ago it says, “Life isn't about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself.” These two quotes fit perfectly because people seem to leave it for later and not do anything about it now will not make a difference between now and two years. Life doesn’t make you who you are; you make life be what you want it to be.

Reflection:

I wouldn’t like to become a nursing home administrator because it seems like a lot of taking care of and some much paper work and filing it’s just not my thing. Taking care of other people isn’t my forte and making sure they do their job right well if they can’t do it what makes you think I could make them do it?

Student Success Statement

“Action is the foundation key to all success.”

-Pablo Picasso

             I agree with this quote because it represents the truth of living YOUR life. By not taking action on anything you will literally go nowhere but down. There is so much out there and so much to accomplish that just sitting there and doing nothing will get you nothing. Take action in what you believe in and don’t give up because one day you'll have everything you have always wanted so just keep taking action. Action is the key to all the doors.

I would love to try this healing method because it’s a very natural form of self-healing without the need of chemicals and other artificial stuff used now a days. It seems cool!!!!!!

Student Success Statement

“Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.”

-Japanese Proverb

           

             This is an awesome quote I’ve never heard it before but I like this quote a lot it signifies some very strong points about, well everyone. when you dream about something, and I'm not talking about a dream when you are asleep, I'm talking about an idea or something you really want to do, you should probably take action upon it and try your to make that dream come true because if you don't then that’s all it will ever be, a dream. I though disagree with the second half of this quote because I don't believe an action without a dream is a nightmare I think it’s more like an adventure. You take a route you have never dreams of and you might end up where you really want it. Never think that any action is bad it might be different than what you are accustomed to but don't let that the scare you because that fear is just another obstacle from your dream.

Reflection:

I don’t think I’m adequate  for this job because it doesn’t really catch my attention I mean it must be awesome working with all these chemicals, mixing and matching different substances but I just don’t want to mess with that and end up putting the world in danger for compounding something that can’t be irreversible. 

Glenn Verniss Cunningham has a very inspirational story in which he was told that his  leg would no longer functional and there he goes and proves everybody wrong and by pushing himself into giving his all in something he believes he can do and does very well. This just proves that anything you set your mind to you are capable to accomplish by not giving up and just keep pushing until you are satisfied. Nobody should have an excuse for not being able to do something because there isn't any excuse for anything but yourself.

Student Success Statement

“Adversity causes some men to break—others to break records”

-William A. Ward

I’m kind of in the middle in this one because I believe that the adversity people live leaves them in a very thin wire in where they can fall easily in two very distinct directions one can be very unfortunate and end up in serious mental and physical problems as also falling into the other which causes you to persevere into never being that person ever again doing all the ideas you have always wanted to do. I feel like I went in circles here but what I’m trying to say is, yes people are more capable in breaking records because of their adversity. They have something to live by something they went to leave behind but they can’t until they break the record.

Monitor Surveillance Technician

Education:

I wouldn't like to become a monitor surveillance technician because there isn't really much to do other than sit there and check monitors for things that might need the patients to find. Not necessarily prepared for a job like that I don't believe I would be.

Student Success Statement

“The best inspiration is not to outdo others, but to outdo ourselves.”

   -  Anonymous author

I believe that this quote is accurate, considering that many people are so competitive with others that they don't realize that that doesn't do them very good and the person they should be really competing against is themselves.  You always have to push yourself to do better than the last time and improve your skills be looking back on the mistakes you did and why it happened. It’s all you. An example would be like when you are in a team and you did okay for the reason being that you were comparing yourself to another person than yourself. You have to compare yourself with yourself like maybe you a week ago wasn't as good as you are know.

Health Science Librarian

Duties and Responsibilities:

The health science librarian’s organize data used by practitioners regarding the patient’s care, education, research, and administration. They deal with electronic database information system, organizing the information into collections and develop catalogs for access.

Education:

Students should take challenging high school courses in information management, science, math, and English. Health science librarians should earn an undergraduate degree in one of the life sciences and have a master’s degree in library science.

Reflection:

I wouldn’t consider in becoming a health science librarian because I’m not a very structured person who likes to keep things organized and remember where exactly I left all the data. It seems like a boring job that is my opinion maybe others might not think so.
