                                      What is 
             The strangest secret in the world  
                              "We become what we think about."
                                                                                                                                                                                  - Earl Nightingale
I think this quote means that whatever we choose to be in life is mostly what we are gonna be thinking about. like an example: If all your life you wanted to be a doctor and you become that all that your gonna think about is being a doctor.

"good thoughts bear good fruit. Bad thoughts bear bad fruit"
                                                                                                                       -James Allen
I think this quote means that When your good the fruit is healthy because, your a good person like the fruit is very good and healthy. When the bad fruit is rotten means that your just a bad person and unhealthy person like the rotten fruit.


         Genetic Counselor Description: http://hg.med.umich.edu/gcweb/sites/default/files/field_photo.jpg
Duties and Responsibilities:
Genetic Counselors work at hospitals, universities, laboratories and private clinics. They are trained to analyze genetic data and communicate risk factors to patients and their families. A family history of cancer, muscular dystrophy or cystic fibrosis might cause an individual to seek genetic counseling. Tasked with identifying potential predispositions for physical and mental diseases and disorders, genetic counselors are trained like

  • Analyze Patient histories

  • Provide genetic testing

  • Perform genetic risk calculations

  • Educate families about potential health risks

  • Help patients to cope with a diagnosis

Average Salary: 
               $25,000-$55,000
Educational Requirements:
               Those interested in the field must complete a master`s degree program in genetic counseling. Due to the small number of accredited programs, graduate schools often have a highly selective admission process. Students can prepare for admission with undergraduate courses in chemistry, biology, genetics and psychology. Schools may require or strongly recommend paid or volunteer experience prior to enrolling in the professional program. Graduate program coursework requires clinical training through internships where students learn about the following:
  • Molecular genetics
  • Genetic screening
  • Counseling ethics and techniques
  • Research methods
  • Prenatal diagnosis
  • Population studies
  • Birth defects
I wouldn’t like to be a genetic counselor because, im not that satisfied on what this job does but it’s a really good job.

"I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right."
                                                                                                                                 -Dean Smith
Reflection:
I think that this quote means that He wasn't trying to leave as being a coach but he had to do what was right and retire from his job because, he was old already and his team needed a better coach to teach them...like for an example: if you want something good for your family and you want the best for them you will have to do something to change that.
