Why does it interests you?


This career interests me because I want to be able to help people as a career. I
want to save lives and enhance others. My uncle does this as a career and he
loves it. He enjoys going to work everyday and is happy with his life. I do
want to reach for higher goals, but I know I want to be apart of the medical
field.
