"I will persist until I succeed"

Og Mandino

I think this quote means that you have to persist to actually accomplish whatever you want to do. I like this quote because it is true if you don't persue your dreams they are never going to come true. For example if you want to own a big house next to the beach, first of all you have to study hard, then get a job that has a good salary and doing that you would be able to afford the money to buy whatever house you desire to buy. This is a great example of persistence because it is hard to get to the end but everything is hard in life. Everything is about this quote because being persistent is the same as being sucessful.

Perfusionist

Duties and responsibilities:
Clinical perfusionists operate circulation equipment during medical situations when it is necessary to temporarily and artificially replace the patient's circulatory or respiratory functions.  This occurs during heart surgery and similar operations. Their duties include: 

• Operating heart-lung machines
• Administering some types of anesthesia
• Administering some types of medication
• Control the temperature of patients during surgery

Average Salary:  $50,000

Educational Requirements:
Students may have a high school diploma with a strong background in biology and chemistry is required to be accepted in perfusionist training programs.  Admissions preference is given to students with college science work or experience in respiratory therapy and medical terminology. 
Perfusionist training programs are available at academic health centers, medical schools and universities. Course length varies, but for the school to be recognized by the American Academy of Cardiac Perfusionists, the curriculum must include the supervised performance of 150 procedures to include 20 pediatric cases. 

I would like to be a perfusionist because I think it is an interesting job. I like to be responsible and have a big task so, I think this is a great option for me. I like how biology and chemistry are mix up to create this awesome job. I think it is hard but it is fun at the same time.

"Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement" 

Matt Biondi

I think this quote means that If you are persistent you can achieve whatever goal you want to achieve. You may think this is not true but it is because when you try to reach a goal the best thing you can do is go fot it instead of just be sitting and thinking about it. I like this statement because it is realistic and comes from a man who persued his dreams until he achieve them, he is a medal holder. An example of this statement is when you want high grades you have to do your homework and classwork otherwise you would stay on the same place or worst. It is better to try your best than not trying at all.
I am going to persist on my idea of being a successful and recognized pediatric dentist. What i am going to do is try to enroll into college study and get my doctorade.

Osteopathic Physician, D.O.

Duties and responsibilities:
Osteopathic Physicians diagnose and treat injuries and diseases. They study the importance of the musculoskeletal system, holistic medicine, proper nutrition, and environmental factor in maintaining good health. They work primarily in osteopathic hospitals or private practice, however many allopathic hospitals now accept osteopathic physicians as staff members. The majority of osteophats are general practitioners, family practitioners, or emergency medicine specialists.

Average Salary:  $110,000

Educational requirements:
Students should take the most challenging high school courses available in science, math, and English. 
After three or four years of college, prospective physicians must attend medical school.  Undergraduate requirements for admission to all medical schools include one year of basic chemistry, one year of organic chemistry, one year of biology, and one year of physics.  Some medical schools also require course work in calculus, English, the humanities, or social science. 

Medical school usually includes two years of additional study in both basic and clinical sciences and is followed by a year-long hospital internship.  Physicians who want to specialize must then undertake a three-year residency in their specialty. 

 I don't want to be an osteopathic physician because i don't like to work with bones but i find this career interesting and the salary is elevated. I think this career is fun and i would like to see a classroom of osteopathic physicians.
