"Obedience is central to becoming being and remaining happy."

- David A. Bednar

Reflection: I can say this is true. When I was in my first year of marching band, I had responsibility or leadership to worry about. I was able to stay focused on working on my music and marching. I made me feel happy because I was really good and doing what I do. And many times when you are obedient, you get rewarded with things such as the time I won Band Member of the Week at our second football game performance.

"Obedience is the great test of life."

- Thomas S. Monson

Reflection: I would agree to a certain extent. I believe that life is a test to see how obedient you are. But I say that it is also to see how much you can take. You need to show what you're worth when it comes to putting up with many obstacles that come forth in life. Such as having to do a repetitive work for your employer to get a promotion or increase your business size.

            Neurologists are medical doctors who specialize in the nervous system and study how the brain functions. They treat all kinds of disorders and diseases from brain tumors to basic migraines. They also work with head and nerve trauma patients as well. The career, like most doctoral professions, requires intensive and extensive amounts of education and hands on training. This is due to the fact that most neurological procedures are highly delicate and have little room for mistakes.

Educational Requirements:

            Similar to other physicians, neurologists must begin their careers by going to college and then attending medical school.

Although most colleges do not have a pre-med major because medical schools do not require any specific major, some schools do offer a pre-med concentration that may include the biology, chemistry, physics and math courses required by medical schools.

I would like to be a neurologist because I enjoy how the brain works.

"Obedience...is the primary object of all sound education."

- Elizabeth Missing Sewell

Reflection: It teaches people...simple as that. I have learned many things from obeying people and observing the consequences from those that don't.

It gives strength and courage when one acts appropriately all the time.

"Attitude is the mind's paintbrush. It can color any situation."

- Anonymous

            Periodontists treat patients with gum disease and other issues in the gums and bones surrounding the jaws. Work may be surgical or non-surgical and might include tasks like placing implants, developing grafts or reductions to alter the way a person’s smile looks.

            Becoming a periodontist starts along the same path as becoming a dentist. You need to complete dental school followed by a residency in periodontics.

You might earn your degree in an area of science, which may prepare you for the extensive science coursework required in dental school; however, a degree in any major is usually acceptable as long as you meet science prerequisites.

I do not believe I would enjoy being periodontist because I do not believe I would enjoy looking a person’s mouth constantly.
