Reflection: I would really enjoy this career but then at the sometime i feel like i wouldn't because i'm really into sports and i like doing extracurricular activities on my free time it helps me forget about all my stress and problems i have. It’s also a very interesting career because you're dealing with patients that play sports and it’s pretty interesting like what if you meet someone famous because they recommend you to someone and they go to you. This is a really good and interesting job if you like working with students and you like to play sports.

"In life as in football,

you won't go far,

 unless you know

 where the goalposts are."

Arnold H. Glasow

What Arnold H. Glasow is trying to say that if you don't go far or try hard enough you won't achieve anything because you are not trying hard enough to reach the goal.You won't go far if you don't try hard enough you won't go far if you are negative about certain stuff. You need to know where exactly you are going so that you can go somewhere and  be someone in life. You can't just not try and just think negative about life. For example if you want to become a famous soccer player you need to know where you stand and then practice and practice and get better so that you can accomplish your goal and so you can get far in life because if you don't then what's the point you want to become someone famous but you don't want to work for it.You have to aim for your goal you can't give up just because you messed up one day it's better off if you aim for it and stick to your goal.
