Cytotechnology

Cytotechnologists can save people's lives. They observe and diagnose many cells to see for any type of error in them. It is very important for them to be able to think independently because they must sometimes make decisions on their own. They must also have an amazing eye for precision for anything wrong in the cells because if not the person from which the cells are from could be very sick and die. Many of lives could be lost if it were not for these amazing people. I would like to become a cytotechnologist because they are very helpful in my community but I would not attempt to try to become one because I feel as if my eyes could not be very precise and I would not like to have the responsibility of a grown human being's life in my hands because I would get nervous.

"Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me."

- Carol Burnett

Reflection: She wants to say that she is not influenced by anyone. She does things that way she want s because she has control of her body and her mind. No one can take that away from her. When I do something good, I do it because my mind tells me that I want to do it. No one should ever do something hat they do not want to do just because someone else told them to. If it does it just dhows how weak minded they are and that they shouldn't even have control in the first place.

"Goodness is the only investment that never fails."

-Henry David Thoreau

Refkection: I believe what he is trying to say that if one chooses to do good, they would never feel that it fails them. When someone does something right then one would have the feeling of accomplishment and the amazing feeling of well doing in one's heart. I cannot recall one time where I have done something good and not felt good about my soul.

Reflection: When you do things right you will be known by people because you are helpful.  Say you are in the Humanitarians Club, you will be known by people for your good deeds because you push yourself to be a great person. It feels good when you are known  to do great things. Many people know me for my talent as a musician and I absolutely love it.
