“When obedience becomes our goal, it is no longer an irritation; instead of a stumbling block, it becomes a building block.”

James E. Faust

Well what James is saying is if obedience is our only goal that is being focused then it no longer will be a bothersome to you and its not just some kind of ordinary box you stuff pillows in it becomes much greater than anything you’ve could have imagined.

Western Medicine Doctor
Duties and Responsibilities: There is a worldwide trend towards Oriental medicine in recent times. Five years ago, I heard a report regarding the establishment of the Oriental Herbal Medicine Research Committee in the United Nations. In Tokyo and other areas, discussions on reviving Oriental medicine have been given considerable emphasis. In Korea, people are still receiving plenty of Oriental medical treatments, so discussions on reviving Oriental medicine with the implication of re-establishing it are not relevant. However, further development, elevation and improvement of Oriental medicine is the vital question confronting us. The first thing that is needed when discussing the subject of Oriental medicine, above anything else, is the proper understanding of Oriental medicine itself. Whether one promotes, discards, disagrees with or supports Oriental medicine, without correct understanding of the medicine itself, one should not criticize its validity. To properly understand Oriental medicine, critical comparisons to Western medicine are absolutely necessary.
Salary:$37,546-39,437

Reflection: I would not like to become  a western medicine doctor because I see no point in becoming this.

Reflection: I would not like to work in this type of medical field for the fact that it is not interesting to me because you don’t get to work hands on with anything and the fact that there’s  a lot of people in the same field so it’s a competitive deal.

“courage is being scared to death and doing the right thing anyway.”

Chae Richardson

Well my opinion to this statement is that having courage doesn’t really mean that your brave it just means that your not scared completely it just means that you are what you are and you are going to fight for what’s yours.

Wellness Professional

Duties and responsibilities: Wellness specialists work for schools, local governments, companies or other organizations to suggest, support and train people on their health and fitness goals. The types of concerns are as varied as weight and diabetes prevention and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. A specialist often consults with people directly on lifestyle, eating and exercise habits and may direct an individual to a doctor for any serious health concerns.

Salary: With rising health care costs, governments and companies are creating programs to educate the public and employees. These programs are often designed by and implemented by wellness specialists. Because of rising health care costs and the need for programs to reduce costs, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the wellness field to grow by 37 percent between 2010 and 2020, which is much faster than average for other careers in the United States. The average salary for a wellness specialist was $53,100 in 2012, according to the BLS.

Education: A wellness specialist often has a degree in a related discipline such as nursing, fitness or sports medicine. There are no specific requirements, but many positions require on-the-job training in addition to certification from accredited wellness organizations such as the International Association of Wellness Professionals.

Reflection: well I would not mind becoming a wellness professional because they get to work with kids in schools and you get to work for the government.

Alexander Pope

Well in my opinion I guess what he’s trying to get through our heads is that if you act well and choose the right everyday honor lies within all those good things you have done for yourself or for the kindness of others.

 

Orthodontist
Duties and Responsibilities: is the first specialty of dentistry that is concerned with the study and treatment of malocclusions (improper bites), which may be a result of tooth irregularity, disproportionate jaw relationships, or both. Orthodontic treatment can focus on dental displacement only, or can deal with the control and modification of facial growth. In the latter case it is better defined as "dentofacial orthopaedics".
Salary: orthodontist salary in the United States is about $127,000 per annum. The median salary in hourly terms is about $61 per hour
Education: Early Education
Aspiring orthodontists are required to earn their high school diploma or GED. Coursework in anatomy, chemistry, physics, biology and anatomy is encouraged. Taking a foreign language is also helpful, since orthodontists treat patients from various nationalities.

Bachelor's Degree
Applicants to dental school are first required to earn a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university. Although there is no subject major requirement, students typically major in biology or chemistry, as dental schools are more likely to accept applicants with a science background. Toward the end of their junior year, undergraduate students with the intention of applying to dental school must pass the DAT (Dental Acceptance Test). These scores help determine whether you’ll be accepted. Other factors that affect whether students will be accepted to dental school include a high GPA, glowing letters of recommendation and involvement in volunteer/ extracurricular activities.

Dental School
Dental school lasts a total of four years, and is broken into two distinct phases of class/ lab work and supervised clinical practice. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the first two years of dental school include coursework in anatomy, periodontology, radiology and local anesthesia. During the final two years, students gain real life practice in clinical settings under the careful supervision of licensed dentists. Upon graduation from dental school, future orthodontists are awarded the Doctor of Dental Medicine degree, or DMD. However, graduates are still required to pass the National Board Dental Examinations administered by the Joint Commission on Dental Examinations to receive a state license to practice dentistry.

Graduate School
Since orthodontics is a specialty within dentistry, aspiring orthodontists must enroll in a graduate program accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation, or CODA, for specialized training and additional practice. Depending on their specific career goals, students can earn a master’s degree or Ph.D. in orthodontics, or a master’s degree in oral science or oral biology. During the graduate program, students will have to examine, diagnose and treat real-life patients.

Certification
Orthodontists are required to pass written and clinical examinations administered by the American Board of Orthodontics. To qualify for the exam, students must present proof of graduating from a CODA accredited orthodontic program.
