Reflection

I would probably like to become a medical assistant but I’m not sure it sounds pretty easy and the fact that it only requirements a high school diploma means it might be easy and I could learn new things. If I were to become a doctor working as an assistant might help me get there. So I hope God has a good future planned for me and I would like for this job to be included.
