I feel that this occupation is a good fit for me. I really enjoy helping people and sports, and this job combines my love for both. As an athlete, I know how important the doctor is to a recovery from an injury. I broke my shin and stretched out my MCL in soccer, and I was wrongfully diagnosed at first. This mistake added to
my necessary recovery time a whole lot. This extended period of time I was out also took away form time on
the field I could have been improving. I don’t want that to happen to anyone else because ever minute on the
field out there playing counts. There needs to be people in this field who care about the players and not
just about getting a pay check. I want to be one of those people.

would look at surgery as a giant puzzle with a huge reward at the end and a lot of risks, and I love that. Surgery can be a lot of responsibility; I think I could be able to handle it. I work well under pressure as
well.

ReactionI feel that this occupation would be a good fit
for me. I love math, and I love being with people. I know lots of kids don’t like math. As a
math teacher, I would try to change that. I would try to make math fun for them because
once something is fun, it becomes easier to do. Once it is easier to do, it’s more fun. If I
couldn’t get the students to like math, I would hopefully be able to help them and make it easier for them, so they would be able to do
well.
