Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? why or why not?
It sounds like a really cool job because you're giving people treatments and helping them relief stress through it. I don't think i would like to become and acupuncturist. I really dislike needles and this job requires using a lot of needles. I can't even look at needles because i get all nervous thinking about shots. So i wouldn't be a very good person for this job.
