100 Goals Reflection

We started in this class a journal about goals that we have in our lives, those goals were personal to us because they were something that we need to accomplish on our own. Those goals of mine currently are in the progress of being achieved. I have accomplished some since I started writing those goals and I have added a few more to my 100 plus goals. My commitment to this throughout my life would be reading them at least once a week and adding some new goals and marking "victory" on the ones that I have achieved so far.

“Obedience is the great test of life.”    -Thomas S. Monson

Life is always giving you some sort of test to see how well you handle it, the way you handle the test life is giving is on you. Obedience is one of the many tests that life gives you, the way you handle obedience is on you. You either listen to what people tell you or you don’t. People always expect you to listen to what they say and do what  they tell you to do.

“Obedience…is the primary object of all sound and 

education.”  -Elizabeth Missing Sewell

What it’s trying to tell us is that you have to listen to what other people are telling you. When you listen to what they tell you well be a good person because you are obeying what they say to do. But you do not have to do but it’s something that they ask to do it.

Military Medical Careers

Duties and Responsibilities:

One of the major advantages to military medical jobs is the paid training and education. In return for a pre-determined number of service years to pay back your training and education, you will not have to pay out of pocket for your medical degree, nursing degree, or other related healthcare training. Usually the service years are around four years of active duty, sometimes more or less depending upon the level of education and training you received from the military. Once your service requirements are met, you are free and clear of any debt for your medical training.

Salary:  

$16,000-$27,000

Education:

After a physician completes 4 years of medical school, their training is not over. They must then complete an internship (also called PGY1 or Post Graduate Year 1) and then a residency. An internship typically lasts one year and a residency can last from three to seven years depending on the specialty that you choose. Military GME is not much different from civilian GME in that virtually all specialties and sub-specialties are represented. Joining the military will not limit the specialties from which a medical student may choose. Medical students who attend USUHS or those who have a military obligation through HPSP, ROTC or a service academy are required to apply for the military's graduate medical education program.

“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”   -Benjamin Franklin

It’s like the saying goes “early bird gets the worm”, my mom has always enforced the rule that when you sleep earlier you wake up early and you get all of things done early in the morning. I agree with this quote but sometimes I do like to get a little sleep more once in a while but I hate sleeping till late, I think the latest I get up would be 8 or 8:30. When you get up early you have the opportunity to watch the sunrise or hear the birds chirp when everyone else is asleep.

“A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession.”  -Hippocrates

Sometimes as humans we eat what are bodies and mind desire and not ever think about how it can affect out health. We eat what is delicious to us and what we sometimes cannot live without, but we need to think about this twice because it is affecting our health and that is why our bodies are not so healthy at all and if we do eat all of this junk food we need to limit ourselves to what we eat and just eat a treat every once in a while. We need to remember that it is also good for us to eat healthy foods and they are tasty and good for our bodies.

“Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right.

- W.Clement Stone

This quote means that if you have done something that you know is wrong you should face the consequences and do what you need to do after you have done the wrong thing. Always face the consequences of your actions no matter if they are good or bad. You need to do the right thing because you know it’s the right thing to do not because you have to do it.
