The Best Way

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

-Charles Ketterer

This statement said by Charles Ketterer seems to me like one this down right truthful. Your future will only be as great as you think it will be as long as you put in the effort. If you don’t plan on having a great life then, you will not have one. You have to set a goal to have a great life and to anything to make that goal an accomplishment. An example of this can be while you are in school. If you plan on graduating High School and put in the effort, you will graduate. Another example of this quote can be with sports. If you want to be one of the best basketball players to ever live, you have to put in all your effort and try your best and you will do it. A non-example of this can be with a lazy person. They can set one of their goals to graduate from school but, if they do not do their  best then it is not likely that their dream will come true. Another non-example can be with a person with doubt. If they say can’t do something then just because they don’t believe in their self it will make it true.  

Operating Room Technician

Duties and Responsibilities: One thing operating room technicians are know for is for putting gowns and surgical gloves onto the surgeon. They are responsible for keeping the operation room sanitary. Their main focus is to make sure the patient has the best possible care throughout the surgery.

Salary: $41,000-$49,000

Education: High School diploma or equivalent and compilation of an accredited post secondary surgical technology program.

Demands for this Profession: They need to pass a competency exam. They as well need to have had graduated from an accredited program, completed on-the-job training, or accumulated a minimum amount of work experience.

 

Reflection: This career looks like one I would like to look into. The reason behind this is because, this career seems pretty interesting and simple to do. The amount of pay is as well great considering what the job ask of you to do.

Ask Yourself

“Ask yourself is it right or wrong and act accordingly.”

-Otto Graham

In this quote, Mr. Graham is giving all of us some great advice that we should take. Before we do anything we have to ask ourselves, is it right or wrong, then we have to act according to it. An example of this can be when your friends tell you to smoke a blunt. You have to ask yourself, is it right to be smoking tobacco, then act on the right side. Another example can be when you are home alone and you have a bunch of fun video games to play but, they are rated M for mature. Is it right to be playing games you are too young for even if nobody is around. You have to choose the right and know that it is wrong and not play them.

Act Well Your Part

“Act well your part; there all honor lies.”

-Alexander Pope

This quote is one no one really thinks about but, it is still true. When you act right you have honor, but when you choose the wrong you don’t have any honor. A non-example of this can be with the Jackie Robinson Little League Baseball Team of Illinois. They were one of the best teams in the world, in fact the second best team in the world. They were beaten by a team in South Korea. The only problem was that the Jackie Robinson team was no playing by the rules. They used players out of their district that qualified for the team. They did that illegally behind everyone's backs and because of that, the team was stripped from their championships and stripped from their title from second place world champions. This is why it is always better to play by the rules, at least you’ll have your honor.

Nursing Home Administrator

Duties and Responsibilities: This is a specialized area in the medical and health services. Their duties consist of overseeing staff and personnel, financial matters, medical care, medical supplies, facilities, and other responsibilities.

Salary: $95,000-$119,000

Education: The minimum requirement to be a nursing home administrator is  a bachelor's degree in health care administration.

Reflection: I don't think I would like to have my career be a nursing home administrator, this is because I wouldn’t want to work with the elderly. Not only that but, this career seems like it would be a boring one.

You'll be taken care of

“If you do what’s right, if you live the right way, you’ll be taken care of.”

-Rachel Castillo

This statement said by Rachel seems pretty truthful. If you do what's right in life, then later on in life you’ll be taken care of. This young woman found $36,000 in cash in a bag at a golf course where she works at. She could have kept the money and no one would have ever known. She did the honest thing and called the police to turn the money in.

Neurosurgeon

Duties and Responsibilities: Neurosurgeons perform surgery on the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves to remove tumors, relieve chronic pain, and treat wounds.

Salary: $395,000-$589,500

Education: 4 years of undergraduate school, after that they must have 4 years of medical school, then they must take 6-7 years of neurosurgical residency training.

Reflection: This career is pretty demanding and seems like a career only the really dedicated would take on. I don’t personally would like to have this career because, it requires many years of training and it calls for the best and most careful work. If you make one little accident, it can cause the life of your patient. Even though, the pay is extraordinarily great, it is still not a career I would like to pursuit.
