6. Self Reflection
a. I think this career sounds very interesting. I think it is interesting to
learn about genetic diseases. However, I probably wouldnt pursue this career
because I find DNA and genetics very confusing topics. This applies to Anna
Garcia because of her genetic disease- sickle cell anemia. Anna Garcia would
probably have to meet with a clinical geneticist at one point to diagnose and treat
her genetic disease.
