Reflection:

In my point of view I think this profession is very important and hopefully we have a lot of Chiropractor. I wouldn’t like to be a Chiropractor because no matter how important it is I don’t like it, so why would I become one. Hopefully people don’t think like me and they actually become a Chiropractor. I didn’t even know about this profession, but I’m happy I do now.
