Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?

     I think that I would like to be one because it’s important to help others in many forms that you can. Another thing is that it seems fun to work with others and help them relax when they need it. Something good about this job is that you can go whenever you need it. Lasty, would be because they pay you well and you don’t need much education, although I do want to do more.
