Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

      I would like to be one because it focuses on babies and when I grow up I want to be a pediatric. I want to be one because I want to help people and babies who have problems or if they just need help in general. This seems fun because you learn new things each day and you keep on studying because there is always new disease that come out and specially in kids. Being a neonatologist interest me because it is not something scary or high risk. It seems simple but you have to be responsible for the babies and their wealth while they are in the hospital.
