"Every time I've done something that doesn't feel right, it's ended up not being right."

Mario Cuomo

Reflection: When ever someone tells you to do something that you know isn't right don't expect the consequences of your actions to be good because the only thing that comes from doing the wrong thing is bad consequences and if you know its a bad thing then don't do it.

CPCC

Reflection: The main thing that they do is they look at cells of humans and try to find a type of cure that can help the human if they have something wrong with them. To do that job you have to be very careful because what you are doing and observing depends on another persons life. I wouldn't think this job would be for me because I would feel unsure about having people to depend on me and  I wouldn't like someone else's life to depend on what I do.
