Twisted Return

 

Today is Monday, however tomorrow Tuesday, 2/11/14 Twisted Returns. I am really excited because I have been waiting for this new season since August of last year. I am excited to see all the new secrets and everything that is going to happen in this new season. Last season left us all in suspense so I want to see how it continues tomorrow.

Ophthalmologist

Duties and Responsibilities: Ophthalmologists specialize on treatments for eye disorders and diseases. They write prescriptions for glasses that fit you. Will perform surgery, if needed.

Salary: $90,000 - $ 150,000

Education: After being a physician you must complete medical school and an internship. After a 3 to 5 year residency must be completed and end it with an examination that must be passed to become certified.

 

Reflection: I think that if I was to become a physician than I would also like this career but I’m not sure what I want to be when I grow up, yet.

 

Student Success statement

“Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself.”

Henry Ward Beecher

 

 

This statement is true because the only person you should have to work hard to impress is yourself. If you always have high expectations for yourself than you will always shoot higher to reach higher goals. Impressing yourself and pushing yourself to the limit will first make you feel good about yourself and then the impressment to others will come in time. After you prove yourself wrong, prove all the others who said you couldn’t do it wrong as well. Never excuse yourself for doing something you said you would because that’s when the laziness begins and you don’t need that.

Ophthalmic Technician

Duties and Responsibilities: Also referred to as technologists collect data and measurements to assist the ophthalmologists. They gather the information needed to find the correct diagnose and treatment for eye diseases and problems. They will also perform eye exams and assist in eye surgeries.

Salary: $14,000 - $25,000

Education: A high school diploma or GED is needed. Two years of college are also needed just to begin ophthalmic training programs and the programs can take up to two years as well.

 

Reflection: I wouldn’t like to have this career because I don’t find it interesting.

Student Success Statement

“Goal setting is goal getting. Set and get.”

Mark Victor Hansen

 

This statement is true because when you plan you achieve. If you plan goals and how you’re going to reach them then you will reach them. Once you think or make a plan go get it once you can and do not let it slip away. Goal reaching is one of the best feelings there is.

 

Progress Report

So far I’ve reached a goal. I tried for a long time and never succeeded until last Monday I got a call saying if I could go for an interview. I got the call around 2 PM then I went to the interview at 5. I got hired, and started working on Tuesday. Finding a job was one of my goals and I achieved it and honestly it feels really good. Now I just have to keep working hard so that I can achieve all my other goals.

Operating Room Technician

They help prepare rooms for surgery they are responsible for having all the needed equipment clean and ready to go. Also during the surgery they are the ones that can hand the instruments to the doctor.

Salary: $16,000 - $22,000

Education: A high school diploma or GED is needed. You must go through a program that may take anywhere from one to two years. After all the training and everything they must pass an examination to be certified.

 

Reflection: I don’t think I would like to be an Operating Room Technician because I don’t think I would like to do that for the rest of my life.
