I would like to be a radiation therapist because i think it is amazing how they have the ability to help people to fight cancer. I like this career because the duties are pretty simple to understand but it sounds hard to do. Radiology Therapists are great examples of kind hearted people. I think it is interesting to learn how to use all the machinery that people use in this job. I like challenges and i would like to complete this one.
