Never because, “you can’t be right by doing wrong: you can’t be wrong by doing right”

Thomas s. monsoon

I really do agree with this quote because its irony and a contradiction is you want to do right the wrong way, it doesn’t work that way as to how you are applying to your surroundings.

Reflection: I would not like not be this kind of doctor if I had a choice because it’s just a regular checkup job that I just wouldn’t be able to just wake up in the morning to the same thing. I would and I quote rather work with a knife. a more gruesome job.

“Every time I’ve done something that doesn’t feel right, its ended up not being right”

Mario Cuomo

 

I mean what can I say, things happen for a reason and you always know something’s wrong once you start. It’s the question of temptation that may lead us to continue.  We all do bad but it’s up to us if we continue to do it or step up to the plate and face our faults.

winter break summary

Winter break didn't help me remove the bags under my eyes nor gave me adrenaline.  Things at home were fun but hectic, I technically only had two weeks of break because my last week was spent at basketball and softball practice at school (8-6pm). I did get to travel a little to Vegas, Mexico etc., and spent time with family and friends. It could have been even more fun but hey days off are days off. I did several things and usually the only times I got to sit down was on my way to Vegas or Mexico in the car or in the theater. I had a friend I really wanted to see but was in Mexico at the moment and didn't get to see them till today. If you ask me my break was pretty mellow, not much time to myself.

Reflection: I would not like to be a Registered dietitian because im not picky as to what I eat. I do like junk food and most likely wont stop so it would be of a contradiction for me to please and try to convince people to change the dieting plan when mine is bad. I see the irony and don’t really agree to it all.
