Reflection:
I also chose to add this career journal to my portfolio because it sounds fun and interesting. Skills that we have learned in class that are associated with this job would be our work with the Hela cells and all of Anna Garcias's cells. We also did work with looking under a microscope at slides of red blood cells throughout the year and that goes along with this career. These activities that we have done in class adds to my interest in this career.
