No I would not like to be one because I feel like this medicine is a fake and I wouldn't want to trick my patients when I know there are better ways to treat an injury/illness with modern medicine/surgery. Most of the practitioners get paid very little and I want to get paid a lot.

"A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession."
-Hippocrates
I think what this great philosopher means is that if you want to be in great condition, the only way you can reach that is by being healthy. For example, you want to become a genius, but how are you going to reach that goal if you can't get out of bed because you are sick, fat, insane etc.. You need to be healthy for anything to take place because if you are not, everything falls apart.

Student Success Statement
"Act well your part; there all honor lies."
-Alexander Pope

I think what this great man means is that as long as you keep true to your parts, for example a, giving your word, keeping a promise, or even doing what you think is right, you will have honor. If you always do what you say you are going to do, people will see you as an honorable person because you are always keeping it true. You can't like even once because people will start to lose trust in you, and I think trust and honor need each other to work.

" I would prefer even to fail with honor,
than win by cheating."
-Sophocles
 I think what this great philosopher  means is that, true honor means to always keep trying without everh giving up, because as soon as you cheat or give up, you lose all your honor, as a man, and as a person. Honor is the only thing that helps us, as humans, to be able to stay friends and respect eatch other. Without honor, this world would not be how it is right now.

Student Success Statement
Attitude is the mind's paintbrush. It can color any situation.


What I think this saying means is that everything is white, and your brain is the paint. You can have a good attitude and paint it colorful, with cheerful colors. That means that you want to be happy, On the other hand, you can  paint it with gloomy colors, like black and brown. With those colors, you might be sad, angry, depressed. Your mind can do a lot of powerful things, but your attitude can stop it from doing so, or empower it to do so.
