Hello World!

I am a junior in high school, and it has come to a time where I have to start thinking about what I want to do with my life.  More specifically, what kind of career I want to pursue.  I am currently considering the idea of becoming a pediatrician.  One of the reasons being that there is a shortage in healthcare workers in today's world.

In my mind, part of a pediatrician's job is to keep children healthy and preventing them from becoming ill.  I remember that every time I go to the doctor's office for a check-up, my doctor asks me about my daily habits such as whether I exercise and what kinds of food I eat.  My doctor always tells me to keep up with my healthy habits, but really I do not put much thought into it.  I have to thank my mom for keeping me healthy.  Now that I am older, I should at least try to understand how to have a healthy life style before I try to pursue a career where I help others stay healthy.  By writing this blog, I hope to educate myself (and others) about the meaning of living healthy.  This will be my first step into pursuing a career in the field of healthcare!
