“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing”

                     Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection:  when you have to make a decision the best thing to do is the right thing. Like your choices is your decision but always think to yourself and tell yourself “ is this going to make me happy?” but most of all “is this going to make other around me happy?”.

Just do what’s right for you and for the people around you when you have to make a decision. You’ll be happy with yourself.

Reflection: well the video talked about how they have to study human cells. And they can tell when somebody has inflammatory and many kinds of diseases. They have to use microscopes to see the cells.I don’t think this would be for me because this has to do a lot with science and I’m not good at science. J
