“Try a little harder to be a little better.”

                                        -Gordon B. Hinckley

Reflection:

This quote to me means that you have to try the hard to be the best. You cannot try at all and expect to be the best; it’s like everything in life if you want it you have to try hard to get it. Things do not just come free you have to work for them and then you will start seeing results. Just push yourself just a little and you will see results in the end you will see how by just one little change makes a huge difference in your life. Like me when I was a freshman I did not try in school a lot and I did not push myself but I thought I am going to change my life and try harder because I want something in my life and I did I tried just a little harder in school and the results are great because to this day I have really good grades and that is because I pushed myself to do it. Just try a little hard and you will see some results. It only takes you.

Education:

The students should try to take the most challenging courses in high school and study really hard while choosing the right. It requires a minimum of a Bachelor's Degree in occupational health and safety, environmental health engineering, or the physical sciences.  Many jobs require certification and/or a Master's Degree in these, or related, fields.  Certification requires successful completion of the American Board of Industrial Hygiene examination.

I do not think that I would like to be an Industrial Hygienist because I don’t think that I can learn all the things that I need to learn to be a Industrial Hygienist.
