Doctor of Choice

If I could be any kind of doctor I would be an optometrist, meaning an eye doctor. I became interested in the work of an optometrist when I went to get my first set of contacts. At my appointment I was surprised by the amount of technology used. I was also interested in the purpose and workings of the technology. One machine in particular that I remember is a machine that blows a rapid shot of air into your eye. Its hard not to blink but you have to do your best not to close your eye. Another machine I remember is one that gave you the same image in different focuses. This machine was to determine how much magnification you need on each eye. As an optometrist I would get to work with these machines to determine the best prescriptions for my patients

Being an eye specialist my job would also require me to check vision and diagnose and treat diseases of the eyes.  I believe that being an optometrist would allow me to be a doctor as well as have a life. As an optometrist I would have a set number of hours of work per day. I could go to work during the day and do whatever I want after. What I mean by this is that I wouldn't be on-call 24/7. It's not like I should expect a call at 3:30 in the morning telling me I need to come to work immediately. I think my job as an optometrist would be great.

Twenty Feet Tall

If I were twenty feet tall, life would be a challenge. Being twenty feet tall would be four times my height now. My house would have to be enormous. I doubt playing soccer for a team would be possible; I mean the ball would be the size of my tooth. Driving would be out of the question because they don't make cars that big and the roads are not built for cars that size. Even walking would be a difficult task. I would have to be careful not to step on anyone or destroy anything. Who knows how many pounds of food I would have to use to create a decent meal for a giant. Finding clothes would be close to impossible. Basically being twenty feet tall would be a MAJOR inconvenience. Probably the only good thing about being twenty feet tall would be that finding space to think would be easy because with my height, chaotic noise wouldn't even reach me.

One Thing I'm Good At

One thing I'm good at is playing the flute. In middle school I was first chair in the advanced band. I no longer play in a school band, but occasionally I decide to take out my flute and see what I remember. I still know the scales and I still know how to read music. I remember playing rapid music and how my fingers use to move fast , almost dance, over the keys. My finger s are not as fast anymore but are still pretty quick. You also need a lot of air to be able to play the flute and hold the notes. Luckily, I was great at controlling my air. Playing the flute was a hobby I enjoyed. I think its cool to be able to play an instrument, and although I'm not as great as I use to be I'm still pretty good. Playing the flute is a talent I am proud of.

Invent A Sandwich

If I were to invent a new sandwich I would start with the bread. I would choose an Italian herbs and cheeses' bread. Then I'd add a piece of barbecue chicken. Next I would add beans, lettuce, cucumber, and tomatoes. I would add Swiss and cheddar cheese and then toast the sandwich so that the cheeses melt. Last I would add ranch and chipotle sauce to tie the whole sandwich together. I'm getting hungry just thinking about my deliciously unique sandwich.

The Time I Won M.I.P

I play left defense on Inglewood's Varsity Soccer team. Last year I was awarded M.I.P or Most Improved Player. As the name implies, I won it for improving my game more than my other team mates. It doesn't mean I was the best player it just means I improved the most. I didn't improve overnight. I had to practice, practice, practice. I made sure to work on my sprinting and ball control skills. I even worked on not being afraid of heading the ball. I tried to give one hundred percent of myself at the soccer games even when I was physically hurt. Winning Most Improved Player was an honor and an accomplishment I am really proud of. I am pleased with how far in the game of soccer I have come.

Superpower

I would like to be able to have the superpower of force field. With the power of force field, I would be able to protect my family. One example would be if we were driving and all of a sudden there is a car accident right in front of us. Cars are crashing into each other all over the place ironically trying to avoid crashing into the original accident. I see that we are about to crash too. With my superpower I would be able to put a force field around our car so that nothing happens to us. I would also not mind using my force field to protect anybody in need at a specific moment. I guess I would feel much safer if I had the superpower of force field.

An Afternoon With My Grandfather

If I could spend an afternoon with any member of my family I would choose my grandpa. His name is Adrian and he is whom my big brother was named after. My grandfather unfortunately passed away but he meant a lot to my family. I would choose my grandpa because I miss him. I want to hear his voice again and his laugh when he playfully tries to trip me. I know my grandfather like to eat, so for our afternoon together I would take him to a nice restaurant. Then we would go to a park and lay under a huge tree. We would talk about what's been going on in my life and without a doubt he would give me his thoughts and advice. Knowing my grandfather, I know we would also talk about the Bible and God, which I don't mind at all. My grandfather was a spiritual, loving man and I would love to spend an afternoon with him.
