Reflection: I'd be much very obliged to have an oppurtunity of becoming a Neonatologist. I've seen many television shows of many of these doctors performing their basic duties in taking part of helping a new born life become a healthy and strong individual. Giving help and support to not only the new born but to the parents as well is an amazing form of gesture and a great way to help. Giving good out to these families would be an amazing feeling knowing that the parents are comfortable and the newborn baby being healthy and safe. I would very much like to help with babies, especially since when you think about it, you get to be helping something so small and so petite grow into something much bigger and brighter in the future. You get to take care of a life that has not yet even opened his eyes to see exactly what's out there. A tiny beating heart can be an amazing yet beautiful thing to study for.
