Self reflection: My reflection on this Profession is that it can be very tense but also more relaxing than a EMT , you have to know how to deal with stressful situations but you also get the sort of easier part and you don’t actually have to help people, But you know how to if you need to over the phone. I don't think this job would be good for me because I like more the more action part and helping people out directly.

My reflection on this profession is that it is very tense and stressful but also very satisfying that you are saving people's lives on the spot. You have to learn and know a lot but overall I think this job would be a great job to have. I would like to have this job because I like to be hands on and to be working with the injured people and trying to help them and save them not just talking to them over the phone or looking for things after they are already gone.

My reflection this profession is that it would be kind of cool but also very hard. It would be cool because you get to solve a mystery and find out what really happened. It would be very hard because you may not know exactly what they did and you might not be able to speak to them about what happened. This job would get very frustrating I feel like because you may never get to the bottom of things. I would sort of like this job because it would frustrate me but also be great if I solved the mystery.

Self Reflection-
My opinion on this job is that it might get a little boring and frustrating. I think it would get boring because you are just dealing with the blood and nothing else. It would get frustrating because you may not be able to figure out who it belongs too and who did the crime. Overall I think this job would not be for me because I get bored easily.
