Reflection:
I would NOT under any circumstances
would like to become an acupuncturist. First of all, I may have a steady hand
but I hate needles so much. I’m not afraid of them, I just really hate them. I
would probably start to panic if I hurt the patient. I don’t think they make a
very good pay anyways. I don’t see myself doing this type of career, so it’s a
big no from me.
