Decisions Determine Destiny

What does the quote "Decisions Determine Destiny" mean to you?

• To me this quote means that your decisions in life will determine your future in all subjects, such as education, relationships, etc.
• Making bad decisions will alter your future in a bad or negative way.
• Making good decisions will do the opposite and improve your lifestyle and give you the choice to make it better or how you would want it to be.
• This will allow you to live the life of design or in other words, live your life how you want it and not living up to the stereotypes people categorize you under.

I like stuff like anatomy or physiology but the human eye doesn’t peak my interest.

Add a picture:

Reflection: Personally I would not like to be an anesthesiologist because I feel like there are other jobs that pay better and are a lot more enjoyable than this profession. I would like a job that includes the human body, but I would like something more interesting than that of anesthesiology.

My first few days here in HPIAM has been nothing out of the ordinary. It feels similar to the previous year, but i don't really enjoy some of my classes. Some of the classes are really slow paced and I would like some classes that are a little more difficult. I don't like this schoology aspect of school because it benefits the teachers a lot more than the students. It may benefit some students but is troublesome for those without internet access.
