Reflection: I would like to be a Ophthalmologist because the eye as a body part/necessity is something that I've always wanted to learn about. I wanted to learn why people are color blind, why people need different types of glasses, and why people have different color eyes. In this profession i will have the opportunity for to learn about all these things and more. Also this would be a really good ice breaker if someone asks me what i do as a career and i would tell them what i do and to see if they can spell Ophthalmologist.
