Self Reflection

When we were identifying and measuring the bones of the victims in class we
were pretending to be forensic anthropologists. I personally believe this
would be a great career for someone who loves to solve mysteries and is
great with numbers. However, I dont think its the job for me because of the
amount of precision that goes into measuring the bones.
