Becoming a Pediatrician

• If you want to work with children do you want to be in the medical field? And take many years of it ?
• If so, in high school it is good to take as many classes for math, english, and science and keep your grades to get in a good college.
• In college keep your grade point average as high as possible, in your spare time volunteer with children at a daycare/daycamp or child center.  
• After you graduate from your 4 year college, you would take a test called the MCATs .
• The MCATs is a very important test that you want to study on and have good grades so you can get  into medical school.
•  You would want to go into a school that is the best and that you can afford and keep you grades up in medical school. An average undergraduate pediatrician goes into medical school for 4-6 years.
• After medical school, you can work as a general pediatrician in your own office of in a hospital with other pediatricians.

Book Review #4
Due: January 11, 2011

Dear Potential Readers,
The book “The Great Gatsby” is a book that is very sad, boring, funny, and entertaining. But overall this was a good book. I would read it again in the future. The book is about a young man named Nick Carraway, in the summer of 1922. He is from Minnesota who moves to West Egg to rent a house for his work in bond business in New York. He lacks of communication with his neighbors. Nick and Tom graduated from Yale University and Nick has many connections with people in the East Egg. One day Nick went to his cousin Daisy’s and her husband Tom Buchanan’s house to see them. When he went in the porch, he saw Daisy sitting on the couch with her good friend Jordan Baker, who is a competitive golfer. As Nick, Tom, Daisy, and Jordan were talking Tom goes and excuses himself to get the phone call. Daisy follows him and while Nick and Jordan are sitting in the porch, Jordan talks to Nick and she said that the phone call was Tom’s lover that lives in New York. Soon later when everyone leaves Tom and Daisy talk about how Nick should take interest in Jordan. When Nick arrives home, he sees Gatsby for the first time. Gatsby was a handsome young man; he had his arms reaching out toward the ocean.
Halfway between West Egg and New York there is a place called Valley of Ashes where all of New York’s ashes are dumped and it is spread in an unorderly matter. There is a billboard in the Valley of Ashes. On it has two big rimmed eyes; it was eyes from a long vanished eye doctor, it was the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg, who watches everything that happens in the Valley of Ashes. There is a train that runs between West Egg and New York that passes through the valley. Tom forces Nick on the train to stop at an unfamiliar stop. Tom leads Nick to Wilson’s garage that sit right near the valley of ashes. Myrtle is Wilson’s wife but that is Tom’s lover. Tom leads Nick and Myrtle to the train and takes them to New York where Myrtle’s sister, Catherine and a couple named McKee was having a party. On the way there Myrtle stops to get a puppy that Tom buys for Myrtle as a gift. At the party Catherine imparts Nick that Jay Gatsby is the cousin or the nephew of Kaiser Wilhelm who was the ruler of Germany during World War I. Myrtle drinks, she got drunk and gets drunker. She keeps drinking and then becomes very loud and louder until Tom was fed up with it. Myrtle talks about Tom’s wife Daisy and Tom warns her never to mention his wife but she insist to. Tom broke her nose.
Gatsby became a famous person around New York because he throws gigantic parties every weekend at his mansion. One day Gatsby’s servant brings an invitation to Nick to one of Gatsby’s parties. Nick attends to the party and feels like he doesn’t belongs there with strangers everywhere. He later on spotted Jordan Baker and started walking and talking to her. The guests go around and tell rumors about their host but no one seems to know the real truth about Gatsby. Nick heard people saying that Gatsby killed a person in cold blood, he graduated from Oxford, and was a spy in during the war. One of Gatsby’s servants called for Nick and they went inside, upstairs and Nick meets Jay Gatsby. Gatsby introduced himself to Nick. Nick says bye to Gatsby and they plan to have another time to hang out. While Nick left, the servants went and got Jordan. Gatsby wanted to see Jordan.
The next day as Gatsby and Nick goes into the city to eat lunch, Gatsby tells Nick about his past. Gatsby’s said that he was one of the son of wealthy, deceased parents from the Midwest. He also said that he was educated at Oxford. Gatsby introduced Nick to Meyer Wolfshiem, who was responsible for the 1919 World Series. After lunch Nick goes to see Jordan, who finally tells Nick what happened at the party between her and Gatsby. Jordan tells Nick that before Daisy got married to Tom , during the war, every military officers were in love with her, in the Louisville. Daisy fell in love with Lieutenant Jay Gatsby but they were suppose to get married after he came back to war but she married Tom. Gatsby bought his mansion in West Egg to be near Daisy. Jordan also said that Nick had to make a reunion at his house. He didn’t want to do it by himself because he thought that Daisy might refuse to see him.
Gatsby was nervous to see Daisy. Gatsby gets someone to cut Nick’s grass and sends another man to send flowers there. Gatsby was worrying that it won’t be the same with him and Daisy. When Daisy arrives, Nick sees that Gatsby had disappeared suddenly. Gatsby enters the house from walking around the house in the rain. The reunion was awkward at first but then Gatsby was really nervous and accidently knocked Nick’s clock down. Gatsby apologize and that was a mistake that he dropped it. Nick leaves them alone for a hour and a half and when he came back he saw that both of them where extremely happy. Daisy was shedding tears and Gatsby was glowing. Gatsby invites Nick and Daisy to go over his house and he impressed Daisy with his possessions. When he showed her the collection of English shirts Daisy began to cry. Klipspringer plays the piano for Daisy and Gatsby and Nick thought that they had forgotten him, so he got up and left.
Reporters travelled to Gatsby’s mansion hoping to interview him about the rumors that is circulating ion New York. Gatsby was born in North Dakota farm with the name James Gatz. He attended to college at St. Olaf’s but he didn’t dropped after two weeks because he was humiliated by his janitor work for paying his tuition. He worked on Lake Superior in the next summer catching fishing fish. He saw a yacht owned by Dan Cody. Cody took Gatz in and made him his personal assistant and he also changed his name. When Cody died, he left Gatsby twenty-five thousand. Gatsby became a successful man. Daisy was spending a lot of time with Gatsby and Tom was becoming a little jealous. Gatsby and Daisy were coming back from somewhere and Daisy was on the driver side and Gatsby was on the passenger side and Myrtle was on the road and Daisy ran over her using Gatsby’s car. A few days later, Tom told Mr. Wilson that Gatsby killed him since it was his car. Mr. Wilson went to Gatsby’s house and Gatsby was on the bed float in the swimming pool. Gatsby was floating dead in his pool. Nick found Gatsby dead. Mr. Wilson came and shot him from behind then he took his own life. Nobody came to Gatsby’s funeral except for some servants, Nick and Gatsby’s father. Daisy stayed with Tom and they moved to New York. Nick stopped his relationship with Jordan and moved back to Minnesota. I will give this book a four.

Dell Alienware Area-ALX CrossFire

Dell has made a new desktop called the Dell Alienware Area-ALX CrossFire. This desktop is designed to play video games. It can hold a lot memory for school work or any important information. This is a heavy desktop to be moving around a lot and if it falls when you move it, it might break and it very pricy just for this kind. The Alienware is dream of any human being at this century mostly teenagers and men that love to play video games. This desktop holds up to six hard drives and that holds up to twenty-four thousand, five hundred, seventy-six worth of gigabytes, that’s a lot of memory. What can you do with all that memory? There are some problems that people won’t like but it has a meaning to it. What I mean about that is that there is a problem but there is a reason for the problems. The price of this is very pricy but if you really want this desktop then it you will not regret that you bout this item. Just keep reading and there is very interesting things about the desktop, Dell Alienware Area-ALX CrossFire. This desktop will amaze you.

The Dell Alienware Area-ALX CrossFire has very good parts into it. It is so good that I don’t know where to begin. This desktop is for gamers that like to play video games and play games, period. It can be played like that age of thirteen through adults. It’s great for independent people that loves to play games.  It comes with a six GB DDR SDRAM. The processor is an Intel Core i7 960. There is a fan on the CPU, which is awesome! It can work really fast and won’t slow down because of the fan that keeps the CPU cooled. The water cooling block that and the fan setup on the Aurora ALX is going to be on this desktop and that what cools the CPU. This is very powerful desktop. It uses Windows seven Home Premium sixty-four bit. It can read blu-ray DVD’s and it can write and read a DVD and a CD (DVD+/-RW writable). If there is anybody that has mostly blu-ray DVD’s then this is a good system to use if you just want it to yourself. This is my favorite part that it has three USB ports on the front but on the back there are six for gaming. That is a total of nine USB ports to store, play games and others! On the back there is also an eSATA and FireWire. There are six video outputs, four DVI and two Mini Display port. As I said earlier, the storage is wonderful and it has six hard drives and all together that holds up to twenty-four thousand, five hundred, seventy-six worth of storage. It also has five hundred GBs in every hard drive. This is a fantastic hard drive set up and you can take and put hard drives in. The interior lighting is different and it new. It makes the desktop presentable.

The bad things about this desktop is that it is loud. There is a reason because of the many components that is working together and the extra hard drives make the noises. If you have a baby or somebody that is sleeping then it is not good to play while they are sleeping. The noises might be annoying but when you play video games you won’t even know that the noise is still there. If you have a headache then it won’t be good to play because of the noises. It’s very heavy to lift up so kids and woman shouldn’t carry it or they might hurt themselves. It should be two people carrying it especially when you get it at your door. The weight when it is shipped to you is over hundred dollars ponds but when it is out the box the weight is about eighty-four pounds. It’s very expensive to buy but if it will be the best Christmas gift for you, your kid’s wife/husband, anybody that you might think that will love it then it will be a good gift. Also dell wouldn’t let you pay for it one time, you can pay for it every month little as $150 dollars. It uses over two hundred watts of electricity and while playing a video game it uses about three hundred seventy watts and all that together is over six hundred watts of electricity. That is a lot of electricity to be using all at one time. This desktop is NOT eco-friendly. If you are a person that wants to cut the bills and half and help the earth than this isn’t a computer that you want to use. You can use it for like going on the internet or playing cards but not playing a video game.

My opinion about the desktop is that this looks like a good computer for basically anyone. But I have some things that I like about it and something’s that I think I really not sure about or that I don’t like. Let me start on the things that I do like and that is the hard drive. I like that you can hold a lot of memory on all those hard drives. It might take years for someone to fill all those hard drives. I am a person that needs a lot of USB ports, because of all the USB cables that I have. With the desktop that has nine USB ports, that’s a lot. I am really not a gaming person but my brother is so the gaming could be good for him and I can just go one internet and do work and study. Even though it is a lot of money to purchase this desktop, you can pay monthly and I like that dell decided to do that. It has a nice exterior design and it would really catch people’s eyes. The things that I don’t like about this desktop is that it is noisy because I get headaches real fast. If I was living alone there wouldn’t be no one to carry this for me and I will have to carry it myself and I wouldn’t want to hurt myself. The price is out of this world and to me I think I wouldn’t buy it because it is too much. If it was on sale then I will debate if I want to buy it or not. I am kind of an eco-friendly person so all that electricity is too much. Would I buy this product? Maybe.

Explanatory Essay / Great Gatsby

Explanatory Essay / Great Gatsby
Due: January 10, 2011

First, I will explain what the passage means to me but first here is the passage;

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever”
This passage means to me that God is like a shepherd and I am the sheep. Like a shepherd, they always take care of sheep like a mother taking care of her young. The shepherd takes care, watches over, and showing what is best for me. We can’t lie on green pastures or sit besides water if we disobey our shepherd. He leads me into the path of righteousness direction when I get lost, when I honor is name. When walking through the valley of darkness/shadows of death our shepherd shall lead us to the other side without felling a bit of fear. We should follow the shepherd that offers us eternal comfort.  God offers us the protection of a host (like a banquet) even when our enemies surrounded us. My cup overflows with blessings and as a guest he welcomes me and anoints my head with oil. The shepherd promises to protect us with his unconditional love throughout our life and to bring us into his house forever. This is my understanding of Psalms twenty-three is true.

Secondly, the passage that relates to the text that I found in the Great Gatsby book is;

“The truth was that Jay Gatsby, of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God—a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that—and he must be about His Father’s business, the service of a vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty. So he invented just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen year old boy would be likely to invent, and to this conception he was faithful to the end.”
It relates because when Nick gets Gatsby’s adolescent years through his young adult years figured out he saw that Jesus and Gatsby were somewhat similar. The similarity was that Jesus and Gatsby are faithful to their dream that was self-created but scornful of the factual truth that finally crushes them and their dreams. For Gatsby he loved Daisy and when it came to the truth she loved Tom more and broke Gatsby’s heart. Gatsby have been waiting for Daisy and she didn’t wait for him. If it was love Daisy wouldn’t have married Tom and waited for Gatsby. For Jesus he created everyone and loves them very much, but when they don’t obey him he has to punish them and when they die some won’t be able to reach the exquisite kingdom. Some of them suffer like they never suffer before because they didn’t reach the kingdom of God. Instead of people using people they should love them so that no one gets hurt. Now you can see how Jesus and Gatsby we treated, how they love somebody and the people don’t love them back.

Thirdly, in today’s current world there is good and bad. In the valley of darkness there is evil, racism, terrorist, murders, rapist, and/or temptation that makes up the darkness/valley of shadow. When people walk in the valley of shadow they feel scared and feel loneliness because there are some people that have all that anger in them so they take it out on other people. One thing that God doesn’t like is ugly and ugly isn’t a good thing especially for people. But God is our protection, guidance, our family member, just everything to us and he is there for us through the bad times. He helps the people that are going through in this world. He helps the people that need help and guide them to the right direction (the direction of righteousness.) He loves each and one of us the same way and doesn’t like one better. If they have God they wouldn’t have any fear going into the valley of shadows.    

Lastly, in my life the passage is related because have a shepherd and he is the only one that I want, nothing else. If I obey him, I shall lie in the green pastures and sit beside still waters. If I get lost or wonder in the wrong direction, the Lord will pick me up and put me back in the path of righteousness while I shout out his name. Even sometimes I start to lose my way and go into the wrong path but I cry out his name to help get back. When I walk in the darkness or the valley of the shadows, he is there beside me. I fear no evil because my shepherd is there with me if I stop hanging in the bad crowd and change my attitude than I might not be able to reach the kingdom of God and that will make my shepherd unhappy. But he loves me very much because he made me and I should dwell in the house with him forever.

“No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high. No government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to surrender your dreams. By Jesse Jackson” This means to me that you should not have to make an agreement of your dreams. It is your dream and you can reach it without anyone trying to bring you down and saying that you cannot make it. Your dreams can be anything that you want it to be. Dreams are for you to reach not for anyone to bring it down. Long-term or short-term dreams/goals are still dreams that you want to reach. No one like the government, or/and legislature should kill you, harm you, or punish you because you want to reach your dream. They also cannot assign you a dream that you don’t want or just take some of your dreams and put it to a limit it. No one should give up their dream for something else or because it is too hard to reach. A dream to me is your independent goal that you want to reach; no one can’t take that away from you. Yes, you might take rocky routes to your dreams but at least your getting there. Some people die and their dream(s) is/are still reached. Example: Martin Luther King , blacks and whites are integrated in public places and President Barack Obama is our first black president. A dream is a dream and we should follow it or hope that one day it will happen.

I can connect this quote to this poem and the song below.

“Today's Dreams Are

Tomorrow's Successes”

Don't be afraid of high hopes

or plans that seem to be out of reach.

Life is meant to be experienced,

and every situation allows for

learning and growth.

Motivation is a positive starting point,

and action places you on a forward path.

A dream is a blueprint

of a goal not yet achieved;

the only difference between the two

is the effort involved in attaining

what you hope to accomplish.

Let your mind and heart urge you on;

allow the power of your will

to lead you to your destination.

Don't count the steps ahead;

just add up the total

of steps already covered,

and multiply it by

faith, confidence, and endurance.

Always remember that

for those who persist,

today's dreams are transformed

into tomorrow's successes.”

“Hilary Duff - Fly”

“High School Musical Cast - We’re All In This Together. ”

By reading the poem and the lyrics to the song it relates to the quote that follow your dreams and that don’t worry about the anything that will stop you along the way. Let friends and people encourage you to follow those dreams and goals. In the song “Fly” it says the part of you that wants to hide away instead of hiding let yourself shine. Don’t worry about the things that you can’t in life and its your time to shine. The worries that you have leave them somewhere else and go for your dreams. In the song “ We’re All In This Together” it says that all of their dreams have no limitations ; we can have as many dreams that we want and doesn’t how many or how much. Everyone is together making their dreams come true. In the poem it says there is high hopes for you that can seem hard to reach but today’s dreams can be tomorrows success.

The quote is related in today world by Dr. Martin Luther Kings dreams. Dr. King had many dreams for African American people mostly. He also had dreams for the United States. So people hate Dr. Martin Luther King and his dreams. People thought his dreams were lame and they won’t come true. Lots of Caucasian people didn’t want anything to do with Dr. Kings dreams. Some wanted to change and limit his dreams but he still stayed strong and kept following what his dreams will have for that country. Today Dr. King has had some of his dreams come true a few years before his death. Some people still think that his dreams are worthless and that the rest of them won’t succeed. Now today our president is the first black president and that was one of Dr. Kings dream.

The quote relates to me in my own life because I have lots of dreams that I want to reach. To reach that I have to have a great attitude, grades, leadership, attendance, and responsibilities. In my personal level the quote means that I have dream that I should follow and reach. No one should bring my dreams down , not even friends and relatives. The people that do want to bring it down are just jealous. When I go in the world the Commander in Chief or the administrative department can’t tell me what dreams I should have and to limit them. One of my dreams is to become a pediatrician or pediatric nurse. I love children and health care that’s why I want that as my career when I get older, There are people in this world that can’t be able to follow their dream because someone take their life. Everyone has a chance to become whatever they want to be. There isn’t a law out there that says that we can’t have a certain dream or amount of dreams.

Explanatory Essay / Great Gatsby
Due: January 10, 2011

First, I will explain what the passage means to me but first here is the passage;

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever”
This passage means to me that God is like a shepherd and I am the sheep. Like a shepherd, they always take care of sheep like a mother taking care of her young. The shepherd takes care, watches over, and showing what is best for me. We can’t lie on green pastures or sit besides water if we disobey our shepherd. He leads me into the path of righteousness direction when I get lost, when I honor is name. When walking through the valley of darkness/shadows of death our shepherd shall lead us to the other side without felling a bit of fear. We should follow the shepherd that offers us eternal comfort.  God offers us the protection of a host (like a banquet) even when our enemies surrounded us. My cup overflows with blessings and as a guest he welcomes me and anoints my head with oil. The shepherd promises to protect us with his unconditional love throughout our life and to bring us into his house forever. This is my understanding of Psalms twenty-three is true.

Secondly, the passage that relates to the text that I found in the Great Gatsby book is;

“The truth was that Jay Gatsby, of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God—a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that—and he must be about His Father’s business, the service of a vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty. So he invented just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen year old boy would be likely to invent, and to this conception he was faithful to the end.”
It relates because when Nick gets Gatsby’s adolescent years through his young adult years figured out he saw that Jesus and Gatsby were somewhat similar. The similarity was that Jesus and Gatsby are faithful to their dream that was self-created but scornful of the factual truth that finally crushes them and their dreams. For Gatsby he loved Daisy and when it came to the truth she loved Tom more and broke Gatsby’s heart. Gatsby have been waiting for Daisy and she didn’t wait for him. If it was love Daisy wouldn’t have married Tom and waited for Gatsby. For Jesus he created everyone and loves them very much, but when they don’t obey him he has to punish them and when they die some won’t be able to reach the exquisite kingdom. Some of them suffer like they never suffer before because they didn’t reach the kingdom of God. Instead of people using people they should love them so that no one gets hurt. Now you can see how Jesus and Gatsby we treated, how they love somebody and the people don’t love them back.

Thirdly, in today’s current world there is good and bad. In the valley of darkness there is evil, racism, terrorist, murders, rapist, and/or temptation that makes up the darkness/valley of shadow. When people walk in the valley of shadow they feel scared and feel loneliness because there are some people that have all that anger in them so they take it out on other people. One thing that God doesn’t like is ugly and ugly isn’t a good thing especially for people. But God is our protection, guidance, our family member, just everything to us and he is there for us through the bad times. He helps the people that are going through in this world. He helps the people that need help and guide them to the right direction (the direction of righteousness.) He loves each and one of us the same way and doesn’t like one better. If they have God they wouldn’t have any fear going into the valley of shadows.    

Lastly, in my life the passage is related because have a shepherd and he is the only one that I want, nothing else. If I obey him, I shall lie in the green pastures and sit beside still waters. If I get lost or wonder in the wrong direction, the Lord will pick me up and put me back in the path of righteousness while I shout out his name. Even sometimes I start to lose my way and go into the wrong path but I cry out his name to help get back. When I walk in the darkness or the valley of the shadows, he is there beside me. I fear no evil because my shepherd is there with me if I stop hanging in the bad crowd and change my attitude than I might not be able to reach the kingdom of God and that will make my shepherd unhappy. But he loves me very much because he made me and I should dwell in the house with him forever.
