Reflection:

Once i started doing this assignment i was already thinking in my head i don’t want to be this. But now that i’m done i see the many things an orthodontist does. And i feel like i would want to become this. They get paid pretty good. And it helps people. It may take a lot of years to become this but someone that truly wants it can and will achieve it.
