·       Reflection: do you think you would like to be one?  I wouldn’t mind being a Health Information Specialist because it is using computers and organizing schedules and I’m very good at both.  Also, I think that being a health information specialist might give you a knock in the head but I would manage because you need patients and I have a lot of that. I also understand that you have to keep patients information and I would do so. Thins job looks interesting and pays good.
