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

    I think that I would like to be one because you’re helping others to recover from an injury their struggling with. Another thing is that you learn new things you didn’t know before. For example how each person deals with the pain, why it happen and much more. Lastly you get to communicate with others.
