Chinese Proverb 

 What can make a good character? Cheating, lying, stealing from other. That's what many people think that you can get all respect by doing such things. If you cheat in a test and score high who are you really cheating; yourself. Instead of you being honest and studying for the test so you won't fail you ended up cheating which might cost you so much more than just being honest and failing. Do the right thing at all times and you'll see that it's better then taking the wrong path.

         "Success is not an accident. Success is actually a choice. Are the habits you have today on par with the dreams you have of tomorrow."

                                                                         Alan Stein



           This quote is by far the best one I have heard from the inter year. The goals I have set for myself I am no where near achieving them because I'm not making the best of decisions. Whenever I have free time I should clean my room or read a book or work on an essay. I never do that I always do the opposite which is sit in bed and use my laptop. But where is that going to lead me to? FAILURE. In order for me to start succeeding I have to start making better choices and get into the habit of them because those good choices that I do will reflect on my future. This is the quote I want to live by to be better and do better things for myself.

                    The six pillars of character are the perfect way for someone to live a happy and well life. In my opinion everyone should remember these six pillars and live by them. The six pillars are meant to bring people together whenever the chance is giving. Not only when people need the help but whenever it might just come to mind. It can be as simple as giving a flower to your mother or an old lady in the street to brighten up their day. We want a better world for ourselves and other to live in so why not start. People with god character are what make the world a better place.

                                      Good Values

     "The most important thing you will ever have is good values."

                                                    Dennis Prager

                   

                                      

                                           What's one main thing people look for in a person? Well many people might say money or their way of being. But if a person has a lot of money does that make them to be a better person? Not exactly. The most important thing you will ever have is good values. That's the only thing that will actually pay off to have. If you have money but don't have good values whats the point? You always have to know what you are worth and what others around you are worth. Never think of people as less then you or more then you. That's why always have good values because with that people will respect you way more and care for you. People who have good values always make it out in the world and become big people in life.

Salary:$33,770-$54,490

Education:High school diploma or equivalent

Reflection: Even though I use glasses and have been using them since I was six years old. I wouldn't like to work in the field of eyes. It never interested me to look in a eye and find it fascinating. It seems like hard work and does not pay so well. Therefor being a Optician is not a choice of main.  

          Nursing Home Administrator 


               

Duties and Responsibility: The nursing home administrator is a leader in the organization who not only directs its operations but in a large part is responsible for setting the tone of the culture.

In Minnesota, for example, candidates must have a minimum of a baccalaureate degree with required courses, a practicum and specific scores on both the state and national exams.

Reflection:  A person who works in a nursing home seems to have a very good job. I would like to work their because many people who are old need help and someone to care for them. This might be a way to give back to those elders who have ever provided for us.

      " When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive."

                                           Alan Paton

   You always have to  forgive and forget. That's the only way that you will ever be able to survive with yourself. Many people hold grudges for a very long time and that only can cause people to get ill physically and mentally. That's why you have to move on from the pain you have and let it go. Things might be hard at the moment but you'll see that eventually everything will fall back to place. You have to be ok with you body, mind and soul in order to feel happy and if any of those three don't seem to come together things won't get better.

                         You will always be surrounded by bad things or bad people. However, it's up to you if you want to follow the crowd or stand on your own. This is why Thomas S. Monson wrote this quote for people to never follow the crowd but to follow what's right. In life you will be surrounded by people who do drugs, steal, lie and cheat. Since there will be people like that in the world it's up to you to stand on your own and say I won't be like that; just because everyone else is doing it doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do it means that people need help in realizing what is the right choice. Thomas S. Monson is right; you should stand alone and do the right thing at all times. 

                                                  Dubai



                       Dubai is the most populous city and emirate in the United Arab Emirates, and the second largest emirate by territorial size after the capital, Abu Dhabi.

Dubai is located on the southeast coast of the Persian Gulf and is one of the seven emirates that make up the country. Abu Dhabi and Dubai are the only two emirates to have veto power over critical matters of national importance in the country's legislature.  The city of Dubai is located on the emirate's northern coastline and heads up the Dubai-Sharjah-Ajman metropolitan area. Dubai is to host World Expo 2020.

Dubai has emerged as a global city and business hub of the Middle East and South Asia. It is also a major transport hub for passengers and cargo. By the 1960s Dubai's economy was based on revenues from trade and, to a smaller extent, oil exploration concessions, but oil was not discovered until 1966. Oil revenue first started to flow in 1969. Dubai's oil revenue helped accelerate the early development of the city, but its reserves are limited and production levels are low: today, less than 5% of the emirate's revenue comes from oil. The emirate's Western-style model of business drives its economy with the main revenues now coming from tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial services. Dubai has recently attracted world attention through many innovative large construction projects and sports events. The city has become symbolic for its skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, in particular the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Dubai has been criticised for human rights violations concerning the city's largely South Asian. One day I want to be able to travel to Dubai it's such an incredible place to visit. Besides being one of the richest cities it's also very modern.

               " It's a great moment when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time."

                                                                      Pam Knox

                
                       When you have people who are not afraid of doing the right thing. Those are the people that should be looked up too because in this world that we live in we always blame everyone else but ourselves. Someone else always has the fault for the mistakes we make. It shouldn't have to be like that because we all make mistakes and nobody is perfect but the fact that you actually own up to your mistakes and what you have done wrong is what makes you into a better person. People appreciate those who can saying the truth and do the right thing. Don't lie and do the wrong thing, always be good to yourself so others can too.

                                                Medical Illustrator 

Duties and Responsibilities: A medical illustrator is a professional artist with specialized training and advanced education in medicine, science, art, design, visual technology, media techniques, and in theories related to communication and learning. Collaborating with scientists, physicians, and other content specialists, medical illustrators serve as visual translators of complex technical information to support education, medical and life science research, patient care, patient education, public relations, and marketing objectives.

Salary: $62,000-$175,000

Education: The majority of medical illustrators in the profession have a master's degree from an accredited two-year graduate program in medical illustration. There are currently three programs in the United States and one in Canada that are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP). Each program accepts 16 or fewer students each year, so entrance into the schools is very competitive.

Coursework varies somewhat from program to program, but all include an advanced course in human anatomy with dissection and may include a combination of other biomedical science courses such as pathology, micro anatomy, physiology, embryology, and neuroanatomy, along with specialized applied art courses such as surgical illustration. Other classes may include color theory, instructional design, photography, interactive media development, 3-D modeling and web design, along with traditional drawing and computer applications.

Reflection: Becoming a medical illustrator sounds like a fascinating job. Not only is this my first time hearing about this job but it's also my first time that I really want to reconsider my career path. In this job you are taking care of your patients and interacting with the public too. This career sounds like something that I might want to end up doing. Even though the career path is very long to get there I wouldn't mind to try it out and see how it goes. With all that side the rate pay is also really good; I would consider doing this job.

                The 10 Indian Commandments 


1. Treat the Earth and all the dwells therein with respect.

2. Remain close to the Great Spirit.
3. Show great respect to your fellow beings.
4. Work together for the benefit of all mankind.
5. Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.

8. Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good.
9. Be truthful and honest at all times.
10. Take full responsibility for your actions.


                  The 10 Indian Commandments seem like very simple and easy things to do. Most people might think that rules are set up to control people but the commandments that the Indians have only show a symbol of respect and honesty. These kind of commandments are the ones that the world should also take in consideration of doing. All the commandments are basically asking you for a few things; keep the earth clean and don't harm it, respect everyone including yourself, and be honest about things. If people were to take the time to really analyses what the commandments are saying people will see the big picture that not only should the Indians do it but also everyone else.

             " A promise must never be broken."
                                   

                                            Alexander Hamilton

                         Whenever you break a promise or you don't even do the promise you're losing someones trust. A person will never trust you again if you are always breaking promises or not keeping your word about it. Promises are meant to be kept and not be broken. I have had a few times that people break a promise to me and all it does it disappoint me and never trust in the persons word again. If you feel that you won't be able to keep the promise or even do the promise you should never promise anything to someone. It's always best to say the truth to a person that you won't be able to keep the promise then to just promise something and end up hurting the persons feelings and trust.

                   When teacher tell you that whatever effort you put into a test or project that's how much you're going to get out of the task. You can't expect to score 100% in a test when you didn't bother to study the night or weeks before. Everything has it's value you just have to learn how to create such great power to it. Never settle for less if you want to aim high and really accomplish everything you want; work hard for it. Nothing in this world is free or just handed out to you. You have to put time and effort into whatever you want to have because if you think that it will just happen for you one day; you're wrong. If you see yourself being a strong and independent person well that's the person you are. Never let others tell you otherwise.

                                      Politician in California

Duties and responsibilities: A political science degree can lead to all sorts of careers in both the private and public sectors, from attorney to lobbyist to FBI agent to journalist and beyond. Most positions are attainable with a bachelor's degree in political science, although some do require a graduate degree even at the entry level.

Salary:$69,908-$153,316 

Education:Depending upon the college or university you choose, an undergraduate political science degree can be a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science or a Bachelor of Science in Political Science. Most schools require that students take a minimum number of courses in their major, usually from 30 to 45 credits. Some schools also have different concentrations or emphasis that you can take along with a political science major. Examples would be a concentration in political economy, pre-law, political policy or international relation. Earning a master's degree in political science usually involves taking approximately 30 more college credits beyond a bachelor's degree. These courses are generally at a more advanced level than those found in an undergraduate political science program. Graduate degree holders in political science will find that other career opportunities exist, such as teaching at the college level, public policy analysis, lobbyist, and legislative assistant. If you choose to get a Ph.D. in political science, your main career path will most likely be as a college professor.

Reflection: Since I was a child my passion has always dreamed to join the law industry. Not only did I enjoy it because of the T.V Shows I would watch but because it was something that I knew I could help people out with. Regardless of how long it might take for me to reach that goal I know I want to study political science and that's where I'm going to aim.

           " My basic principle is that you don't make decisions because they are easy; you don't make them because they are cheap' you don't make them because they're popular; you make them because they're right."

  Theodore Hesburgh 

       You always have to know that making the right decision might seem like if it's to hard or if there really is no point for it. But always remember making the right decision is better because you will never be filled with consequences. Whenever you take an easy way out it always will come back and haunt you because it's not the right thing to do. Don't do things that you might think at that moment it's okay to do. Wait stop and think because a bad decision can affect you through out all your life. 

Licensed Practical Nurse

Duties and Responsibilities:

A licensed practical nurse in much of the United States and most Canadian provinces is a nurse who cares for people who are sick, injured, convalescent, or disabled. LPNs used to be under the direction of registered nurses and are now under physicians. Duties of LPNs and LVNs vary, depending on their work setting and the state in which they work. For example, they may reinforce teaching done by registered nurses regarding how family members should care for a relative; help to deliver, care for, and feed infants; collect samples for testing and do routine laboratory tests; or feed patients who need help eating.

Salary:$30,970-$57,360

Education:LPNs and LVNs must complete an approved educational program. These programs award a certificate or diploma and typically take about 1 year to complete, but may take longer. They are commonly found in technical schools and community colleges, though some programs may be available in high schools and hospitals. Practical nursing programs combine classroom learning in subjects, such as nursing, biology, and pharmacology. All programs also include supervised clinical experience. Contact state boards of nursing for lists of approved programs.

Reflection: Becoming a nurse is a full time job and many responsibilities because you are not only providing care to the passaints you are also keeping an eye on them 24/7. I can check on a person and see if they are okay the reason why I might consider this career is because these kind of nurses don't have to be giving shots or taking out blood. That's the only things I would have a issue of being a nurse but besides that becoming a licensed practical nurse might be something i'll consider.

" It is our duty to concentrate all our influence to make popular that which is good, and unpopular that which is unsound (not good) "

                                                                  

                                               Joseph Smith

                 Smith makes a very good point saying that we should only focus on the good things then bad things. In this world children are sometimes raised knowing so much about the harmful things in the world and things they shouldn't do then do. We need to make the world understand the meaning of good and make sure the actions of good are being promoted so children while growing up can start developing good habits; so later the next generation follows along. It's only a matter to speak to everyone and promote the good dids and things you can do.

                                 Home Health Aide

Duties and Responsibilities:
Home health aides make a remarkable difference in the lives of the sick, disabled and elderly. By assisting with personal tasks such as dressing and bathing, and helping to keep homes safe and clean, they allow those who would otherwise need a higher level of care the opportunity to live on their own. They also arrange leisure activities and transportation for clients so that they can remain engaged in their communities. Some states also allow home health aides to administer medication or check vital signs under the supervision of a healthcare practitioner. 


Salary: $22,050 


Education:There is no standardized educational requirement for HHAs. In some states, not even a high school diploma or equivalent is required. Other states require HHAs to take preparation classes (usually offered at community colleges or vocational/technical schools) before they begin working. The certification process requires passing an exam after 75 hours of training and skills testing.Some employers, such as government-certified home care agencies, provide training classes and require employees to pass a test before starting their first assignment.

Reflection: This is a very good career considering that you're helping an elder with things that they might no longer be able to do because of their age. Being a Home Health Aide is something I would consider doing as a hobby when I'm a little older. I don't see myself doing this career for my whole life and since it's not heavy work it's just like you are a babysitter to someone who is uncompassionate to do the job themselves. I would consider doing this career as a hobby but not my certified career.

                                  Tyler Haws


             The more work you put into something the better it will turn out. Sometimes it feels like it's worthless doing all the hard work and sacrifice everyday because it might not seem like it's making any difference but it is. I know that lately I have not put in my full effort in making a change for myself. Lately I have given up on a few things that I know I should not be doing. But Tyler Haws is right you have to put effort into something if not it will never work. If you believe that giving up on things will make a difference it won't you will only hurt yourself. That's the reason why always giving it your full on effort, work and time will pay off at the end. 

                  

         MARINES

The United States Marine Corps is a branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for providing power projection from the sea,using the mobility of the U.S. Navy to rapidly deliver combined-arms task forces. The U.S. Marine Corps is one of the four branches in the U.S. Department of Defense as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It is one of the seven uniformed services of the United States.

The Marine Corps has been a component of the U.S. Department of the Navy since 1834,working closely with naval forces for training, transportation, and logistics. The USMC operates posts on land and aboard sea-going amphibious warfare ships around the world, and several of the Marines' tactical aviation squadrons, primarily Marine Fighter Attack squadrons, are also embedded in Navy Carrier air wings and operate from the Navy's nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

Two battalions of Continental Marines were formed on 10 November 1775 in Philadelphia as an Infantry force capable of fighting for independence both at sea and on shore.The role of the Corps has since grown and evolved, expanding to aerial warfare and earning popular titles such as "America's third air force" and "second land army". The Marine Corps has distinguished itself as it has served in the majority of American wars, from its inception to the modern era, and attained prominence in the 20th century when its theories and practices of amphibious warfare proved prescient and ultimately formed the cornerstone of the Pacific campaign of World War II.

By the mid-20th century, the U.S. Marine Corps had become a major theorist and the dominant practitioner of amphibious warfare. Its ability to rapidly respond on short notice to expeditionary crises gives it a strong role in the implementation and execution of American foreign policy. The USMC has around 194,000 active duty members and just under 40,000 reserve Marines as of 2010. It is the smallest of the U.S. Armed Forces within the U.S. Department of Defense.

      "Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn't.  In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse in sports than a cheater. Don't do it."

        George Mitchell, Senate Majority Leader, Presidential Medal of Freedom, Disney Chairman of the Board.

            Cheating is not something someone should be proud of doing. Whenever you cheat it comes back to haunt you. Sometimes you might feel like there is no more hope or choice that you can do if you don't cheat. But there is always another way. Regardless of what it might be you need to think about the consequence that might happen if you cheat throughout your whole life. Not only will you feel bad but when they catch you you will look bad. You will lose friends and family. You won't just be harming yourself but other people around you. You can cheat in your math test and pass but when you head out to college where it would be impossible to cheat how will you do it? Even if you cheat throughout college too when you are in your career working you won't have a clue what to do because you cheated your way to the top. Never cheat because the outlook won't be as great.

                                     " I won't cheat "
                                                             

                                                                 Dale Murphy

                         When you cheat you are only affecting yourself and no one else. Cheating might seem easy to do better than putting in your effort because it might be hard but you always have to remember everything that takes a while to create goes away faster than when you take your time and do it step by step. For example if you cheat on the test the only person you are affecting is yourself because when a big test comes and you can't cheat you are going to end up failing it because you always used to cheat and never learned anything. Another example will be if you have to stay fit and eat regularly but when nobody is around you don't exercise and eat unhealthy you are only cheating yourself because the only person that is going to come out affected about that situation is you. So always think about the things you want to do and remember a cheater always gets caught. Don't cheat.

                                         Oncologist
  

              
Duties and Responsibilities:  Oncology specialists are physicians trained in a variety of cancer diagnostic and treatment procedures, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Typical oncology specialists may have as much as 15 years of advanced education and training, which includes undergraduate studies, medical school, and one or more residency training programs. Additionally, licensure is required to practice as a physician. The American Board of Medical Specialties certifies oncology physicians in five different specialized areas, including radiation, medical, surgical and pediatric oncology.


Salary: $217,856- $350,000


Education:  As physicians, oncology specialists must complete up to eight years of undergraduate and medical school education. They then train in a medical residency that can last 3-5 years depending on the specialty. Those pursuing subspecialty training may also be required to complete an additional residency or fellowship of up to three years. Following training, all physicians must pass a licensing exam before they are able to practice. Completion of training often qualifies oncology specialists for voluntary certification, which typically involves a set of written and oral exams and a performance review.


Reflection: Oncologist is a new kind of doctor that I was not aware about. It sounds like a good paying career but it does not get my attention like it should. Before becoming a Oncologist there's so many steps that have to be done. I might consider this career but for the mean time I know this is not something I would want to be doing for the rest of my life. Even though I'll be making a lot of money it won't matter if I'm not happy with my job.
