Student Success Statement

"Attitude is the mind's paintbrush It can color any situation." -Anonymous
What I think this saying means is that everything is white, and your brain is the paint. You can have a good attitude and paint it colorful, with cheerful colors. That means that you want to be happy, On the other hand, you can  paint it with gloomy colors, like black and brown. With those colors, you might be sad, angry, depressed. Your mind can do a lot of powerful things, but your attitude can stop it from doing so, or empower it to do so.

Attitude

Attitude is when you think on a person or thing based on their behavior. 
-Belief 
-Perspective 
-Position
-Character 
-Bias

-angel 
-bent

-slant
-belief

A good attitude would be when a student always looks forward to things he will be doing at school.
A bad attitude would be he stop trying at something because you have failed at is a couple of times. 

Periodontal

                                                Periodontal
Duties and Responsibilities:
A person who specializes in the prevention and diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. They are also experts in treating oral inflammations. Usually they must take care of more extreme cases dealing with severe gum disease, scaling, and root planing. They must also perform small surgery in the removal of roots and canals, sometimes even teeth. They might also have to repair dental implants.
Salary: Around $270,000 a year.

Educational requirements: Students interested in this field of study must take extra science classes, English classes, and math classes. They must then take a 4 year program on being a dental lab Technician. After that they can learn more at different programs in order to become a periodontist. Some may learn while working and others might take accelerated courses at top colleges or universities.


Reflection: If I did not want to be a surgeon i would like to be one because they make a lot of money and it is somewhat in the same field of study as a surgeon. I feel like this is a good job to take because there isn't really a lot of pressure and even if you fail it's not as bad as seeing someone die because of your lack of skills.

"He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm." -A proverb
What I think this quote is trying to say is that the people that are around could majorly influence you. For example if you hang around with people that study and do their work you will be more likely to be successful in life. But if you choose to be around the people that do drugs you will most likely be a criminal when you grow up.

"You can't hire someone else to do your push-ups for you."            -Jim Rohn
What I think this statement is trying to say is that no one else is going to do your work for you because it will not count for you. For example if you need to get fit for a sport you can't ask someone else to exercise for you because nothing good will be done for you.

Abraham Lincoln's promise

This video was about Abraham Lincoln and a Colonel. They walked together for some time and the Colonel asked him if he wanted to take a drink of whisky and Abraham Lincoln denied his request because he had never drank whisky in his entire life. After some time had past the Colonel asked Abraham Lincoln if he wanted to smoke and  Abraham revealed his story about his mother's lasts words. Abraham Lincoln's mother had asked him to never drink or smoke in his entire life, before she had past away. Still to that day Abraham Lincoln had still kept his promise with his mother. What this video has taught me was that keeping a promise is very important.

Student Success Statement

"Man's rise or fall, success or failure, happiness or unhappiness depends on his attitude....a man's attitude will create the situation he imagines." - James Allen 
I think that what James Allen is trying to say is that however you imagine the situation, which is what the outcome will be. For example, if you are always pessimist, at the end, everything will go wrong, and no one will enjoy it. On the other hand if you are always an optimist, you will find that the outcomes will always come out like you imagined them to be, happy and joyous. It all depends on how you deal with things.

Clinical Manager

                                                                 Clinical Manager
Duties and Responsibilities:
They focus on managing entire facilities or specialize in managing a specific clinical area or departments. Medical and health services must be able to adapt to any new situations.

Average Salary: $88,580


Educational Requirements
 Most medical managers need at least a bachelor’s degree in the field of medicine, but masters degrees are also common in the job as well. Other requirements vary by the place hiring.

Do you think you would like to be one?

I don't think I would like to be one because I am not the type to like organizing things, I also feel pressured having to organize a whole facility. I feel like this is a job for people who spend time organizing every little thing in their lives and are used to it.
