Do you think you would like to be one?
No I would not like to be one I don't think I can handle all these scenarios where you have to be looking at people who  have been in horrible things like abuse, or drugs, etc. I think I am too weak minded for this job and I feel like it is not my thing.

Do you think you would like to be one?
No I would not like to be one because I think it is boring. I feel like they don't get paid enough even if they are restoring a whole person to almost brand new. I don't think it makes any sense to do that unless you are that kind heart-ed.

Student Success Statement
"Right is right, even if everyone is agaisnt it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it."
-William Penn


This is an amazing quote because everyone can relate to it. The most famous example would be slavery because everyone was for it. It helped our economy and country, but it was wrong. Even if it did do all of that, we all knew it was wrong but almost nobody dared to do a thing. This is a great example that supports his quote. Another famous one would be the nazi one because hitler and germany were for it, even though they knew deep inside that it wasn't right.
