Neonatologist Interview Template

• What are your typical days like?
• What's the most interesting case you've seen?
• Knowing now what this job is like, if you could, would you go back in time and change your specialty?
• What's the most rewarding part of your job?
•      Do you have any advice for people seeking this specialty? Maybe, doubling up in bio in high school or college....something relevant to that. 
•     Do you spend more time doing things hands on with your patients or more time doing evaluations and assessments?

For the final product, I would like to do a traditional informative essay because I think it would be the most efficient and successful way to get the correct information into it.

This Life is Amazing

Author's Note: I came across this quote by Dr. Suess on pinterest. I became so drawn into it and became inspired. This response may seem like my head is in the clouds, but it's an honest response.

"Because when you stop and look around, this life is pretty amazing". This quote, spoken by Dr. Suess,  can never get old to me even if I've read it one million times. The thing I like best about it is that it says "this life"and not "my life". I like that best because yes a ton of people face massive hardships everyday, yes a ton of people are putting up with stuff they don't need to, yes there is ugly in this world. But, if there was no ugly, how would we find great joy in the beauty of things? Not everyone has a great life of there own, but the life that we all lead in unity is in a way amazing. 

  A lot of us wake up every morning with the problem of not wanting to get out of the warm blankets while others wake in fear of not being able to find breakfast for themselves. There are demons we all face. It doesn't matter if your old, young, rich, poor, famous, original, educated or not....we all face demons of certain things. But, when we have a chance... a chance to escape those demons, we go to where we might find serendipity. For some that's the mall, and for some, like me, its a quiet place. Somewhere where we can embrace the true beauty and find something amazing, and just think to ourselves or even perhaps think out loud for some. No matter what, there's always going to be bad things or things we hate in this world. But,we get to experience so much that they balance each other out and leave us with nothing else to think of besides amazement. 

There Used To Be a Time...

Author's Note:  I wrote this piece while I was in math class last a few weeks ago. At first, I just had a phrase repeating itself over and over again in my head and then I had a whole paragraph written out. 

There used to be a time when we all used to run around barefoot together, catching fireflies and freeing them.

There used to be a time where judging one another was unthinkable.

 The only thing we fought about was whose favorite color got to be pink. What happened to running wild and running free? We'd dance in the rain and look like freaks even when we knew people were looking. It didn't matter what our hair looked like or what clothes we were wearing. We only saw each others hearts and now...now we base each other on appearance and popularity. If this is what growing up is like, then I want time to freeze. I miss my youth. I miss the old me and I miss the old you. 

An ocean may just seem like a large body of water, but truthfully, it's an evolution of life. Life is connected in every which way to an ocean. There's life beneath, within, and surrounded by it. Cupping a handful of that salty water entitles you to be a beholder of life.  Deep down inside you, you can find that "ocean" in your soul.  Find the spark of yourself that never matures or ages. Imagine your waves of innocence and purity that are limitless and infinite  like indeed the sapphire waves of the Atlantic.  Use them to innovate part of yourself. Let the waves carry your spirit to the blue, blue sky and far beyond where nobody and nothing can defy you.
