I do not want to be a speech pathologist, though I like the job. the salary is great and the responsabilities are not hard. It is not necessary to be organized and I like that. I think they help people a lot and I respect them. They work the average hour that they supposed to work and I want a full time job. They have to be patiente and I am not, so I do not think this is the right job for me.

Student Success Statement

"Visualization-Imagination: What you see is what you get"

Anon

I think this quote means that however you picture yourself in the future is how you will be living. I like this quote because if you visualize yourself accomplishing huge things you will be getting them later on. There are people that do not like to visualize themselves with success, those are people that have not set any goals for themselves. I think your mind is so strong that if you imagine yourself being someone important in life you will do whatever it takes to get there.  For example i picture myself everyday getting accepted to the college that i want to go to and i hope it happens in real life, obviously i study almost every day for my admission exam and i know it will happen.

Sonographer (Ultrasound Technician)

Duties and responsibilities:
Sonographers, or ultrasound technologists, work with equipment that directs very high frequency sound waves into the body tissues to produce images or pictures of internal organs,diseased masses, and fetuses. These images are then used by physicians to diagnose and treat patients. Some sonographers specialize in examining certain areas of the body, such as the brain, the heart, and the pelvis. As part of their responsibilities, sonographers also check patients' medical histories, explain procedures, determine the best patient positions to produce the images, and operate photography and printout equipment. Most sonographers work in hospitals.

Average Salary: $24,000- $38,000

Educational Requirements:
Students should take the most challenging courses of science, math and english available in high school.
Sonographer training programs are offered at community colleges and hospitals. They can be completed in one to four years depending on prior work experience. Sonographers must pass annual certification tests after completing training.

I do not want to be a sonographer because they are in constant danger but i think that job is interesting. I like the equipment they use i think it is easy to manage and you are able to learn a lot about the use of technology. They have to deal with more personal stuff with the patients and i do not like that for me. It is not my dream job but i think it is interesting. I went to see a sonographer not too long ago and i did like the job is just that i wouldn't do that for the rest of my life.
