Memorial Day Weekend Reflection

    This memorial day weekend was well spended. I slept early around 9:30 and I felt great waking up each morning. As usual I did my morning stretches, and I helped out my family with breakfast. I feel so appreciated to wake up and spend time with my parents. Not many people have a father or a mother present to help them. Some families neglect a child and don’t feed it. Well, I am very thankful to have loving parents. So what I did was help them make pancakes and help cook eggs. I also watched a movie called Oh God. It was an old film from 1977, that I watched. It was about a man who had a dream with God to spread his message. People believed he was crazy and psychotic but he followed through God’s command. However, because of the man’s belief he was fired from his job. God told him he’ll find a solution and he will always be there to listen when he’s sad, lonely, happy or concerned. It was a good heart felt movie. Furthermore, I decided to read some comics over the weekend. I enjoy the visuals in the Aquaman New 52 series. Even though people believe heroes are childish, I still enjoy these classic heroes. I also had a friendly debate with my brothers on issues that are happening in society. Basically, I was either against or for this issue. It was fun debating because I like to be competitive, and because I would want to be a lawyer or politician. Besides all the fun, I also did a math homework. I finished it easily in 8 minutes. Then I studied for an upcoming test for Biology which will take place on Thursday. I went to McDonald's as well and there I saw what appeared to be a man who serves in the military. I decided to buy the man cookies, and so I died. When I died, the man kindly hugged me and said thank you. He lost a brother years ago while he was serving. In a way I felt like I contributed to this holiday because of the act. It was so emotional, and really great. I felt this was a good act of kindness, and I certainly made someone’s day.

Wellness Specialist

Duties and Responsibilities

A wellness specialist is someone who come up with ideas and ways to improve one’s well being and health. Programs are designed to help out people and other issues running through the community. Basically a wellness specialist is someone who educates people and inform them with ways to live a healthy life. Health is really important to last a long life, and with a wellness specialist they can inform people with certain food diets, ways of coping, and other forms of helping one’s well being. Some clients are living an unhealthy lifestyle. Some people are overweight, depressed, or can’t stop a bad habit. Little by little, a wellness specialist can inform them on what to do. Losing weight is hard, smoking is hard to quit, and it is hard to cope difficult situations depending on the person. With a wellness specialist many things can change, and those habits will all be gone. Their goal is to spread awareness, and promote healthy lifestyles. Some wellness specialists work through a 9-to-5 schedule.

Salary

An average wellness specialist can see a salary of $45,000 a year. Since 2010, that has been the average salary among the field. The minimum amount of salary is $26,000.

Education

A wellness specialist must have a bachelor’s degree in health education or anything related. Some bachelor’s in human services or community health will due. A person needs to take several courses. But a bachelor’s will begin the trip into becoming a wellness specialist. After they can choose whether to get certified or not. An advantage of being certified is getting paid more. However, this person must have good abilities like communication skills, organization, working with people with different backgrounds and to multi task.

Reflection

I wouldn’t want to be a wellness specialist. I do admire them for educating my parents. I’ve known a wellness specialist who helps my mom and my special ed brother. I think what they personally do helps those people who lack of health knowledge.

“If I’ve got correct goals. And if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I’m going to succeed.’’ Dan Dierdorf

Well said Mr. Dierdorf, well said. This peaks out the truth in many ways. These powerful words represent something huge. What I mean by this is that we should always persevere and follow our passions. However, we must do what’s right and make good decisions in life. That is, doing the right, should get a person successful. This formula is said by Dan Dierdorf and he has a point. We start out with the correct goals. Realistically, not everyone make correct goals. Some goals they want to achieve may either be risky or inappropriate that may hurt them or others. It is always to think about goals and their outcomes. Not all goals are good, but creating good ones bring success. It sort of like gardening. If you take proper care of a plant, you’ll gain crops. If you don’t take care of plant, you’ll gain nothing. So making correct goals are important to begin with. Effort needs to kick in as well, if a person wants to succeed. Effort shows that a person has done right. Many things that help a person succeed is a form of right. Whether it is studying, reading, or participation, your’e doing a right that benefits your path to success. I just want to say a testimony. So one time, I had a goal. This goal was to help a person become a CTR person. This particular person was an old friend. Throughout middle school he was influenced bad. At first I didn’t wanted to be friends with him because of his poor character. I then influenced him well enough that he was convinced to be choosing the right. Now he pursues to get a higher grade, and I feel proud. I made a change in someone’s life, and others can do too. Choosing the right does bring success, if you right the correct goals.

Veterinarian

Duties and Responsibilities:

I actually did research on this career months ago, but it won’t hurt to learn and discover more. A veterinarian is a person who professions in all sorts of animal’s health and well-being. Veterinarians see many kinds of patients, such as our everyday pets. Other veterinarians work with other animals from a zoo, or aquarium. What a veterinarian does varies in where they work, and which animal is being treated. Most of the time, they perform treatments and other medical performances to help out an illness. Pets and animals also visit the veterinarian to check up on their health. Their main job, is to inform the owner about proper care, advice, and other necessary info related to the pet’s well being.

Salary:

Since 2012, the hourly salary has been to $40. Averagely a veterinarian gets paid up to $42. Over the period of four years, about 73,000 jobs have been available. An average veterinarian is expected to earn a salary of $84,460 each year.

Education:

To begin with, doors are always open for those who want to be a veterinarian. The first step to gain and move forward towards this profession is to have a Bachelor’s. A Bachelor’s is one step closer to becoming a veterinarian. It is mandatory to major a science and a math course. Any science course will do. Common science courses people major in are Biology, Mammalogy, and Physics. A person then must go to a veterinary program to improve and learn. A veterinary program teach students in caring for animals, common medicines, treatments etc. Once a person finishes the program, they can be licensed and gain the experiences. Those that one to do surgery on animals must be certified.

Reflection:

No I wouldn’t want to be a veterinarian because animals are hard to help out sometimes. I do love animals, I just don’t see this as my career. In all honesty, I look up to these heroes because veterinarians are often overlooked. Animals are given a second chance to live sometimes because of a veterinarian. A veterinarian saved my dog’s life, when she was ran over four years ago. I admire these people, but I wouldn’t want to become one.

“The most important thing you will ever have is good value.”

~Dennis Prager

Good values is the most vital thing to anyone. Mr.Prager has a point to prove with good values. These two powerful words, have powerful messages behind it. Good values bring out the positivity in people. We as a society, are unique and great in many ways. Good values shapes a person’s talent as well. Good values are not just great, but it makes a person feel good. Good values are owned by people who have done right. No one who has done bad has a good value. In fact people lack good value. My fellow classmates in this computer class lack these good values. If anything they should be blessed sitting here, in front of a computer learning the importance of this quote instead of goofing off. Some people have little to no good values. Several of my classmates either don’t listen, cheat, speak over the teacher, and it’s just bad negativity they aren’t seeing. The only time they will regret not gaining any good values is in the future, where their lives are messed up. I feel thankful for Mr. Haymore for passing me these good values. I never thought about creating goals, and this good value came to me, and so I begun. All of us have something that shapes us all. Only good values are present when a person is in the right track. Every little word in Mr. Prager’s statement is pure empowering. Some of my classmate may not realize it now, but this time is such a precious time to learn. Mr. Haymore’s words, ideas, and suggestions are really helpful later in our lives. However, only some people have good value to pay attention to those words. Those who find it a joke, or don’t take this class seriously, have a lack of serious good value. I really enjoy, this class for the most part. It’s the only time I can express what I really feel and I am glad to be picking up good values each time. Reflecting on myself, I feel proud of what my friends and I become. Pretty soon, we’ll be young men and women, and the good values will be passed on from generation to generation. Good values are what represents a CTR character. Now, I can go on and on, about this, but good values are one of the most important things

“The reward for doing right is mostly internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity, (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.”

~Dr. Laura Schlessinger

Mrs. Schlessinger a fact to point out. Choosing the right brings us with many rewards. In fact, choosing the right always hands us an award. Now sometimes, an award comes in objects or emotions. Not every time should a person expect an item. Although it is nice, the best rewards are the feelings you get inside. Its an amazing feeling knowing deep inside you done something right. Like, Dr. Schlessinger said, self-respect, dignity, integrity, and self esteem, are common rewards that are not items. When a person has self-respect they are happy to be in their own skin, and they are proud of what they are becoming. People who don’t have that either choose the wrong, or haven’t done some act of right. What I mean by this, is a person must do a form of right in order to feel self respect. A person who does right also lives with integrity, because it's an award they receive for being truthful. Being truthful to yourself or other around you builds a better character, and a good relationship. When things happen like that, it is considered to be a reward. Self-esteem also plays a major role, in this internal phenomenon. The reason is because people, that do right feel confident about themselves. They have a brighter mind, and a clean vision. A vision in which they can tell what’s wrong and what’s right. Self-esteem also builds up character, all together is a package of rewards that are always delivered in an instant. In life, money, luxuries, and other riches don’t matter. Only those 4 principles like Dr. Schlessinger said, are worth winning.
