5) Self-Reflection: This job relates to Anna Garcia because a clinical geneticist
probably studied her genes to find out where the bases went wrong to see
why she had diseases like sickle cell and diabetics. I dont think I would enjoy
this job because genetics dont really interest me and I want to do a job that
involves moving around a lot and not really a desk job/science research job.
