 * Part I: Introduction **
 * Hi my name is Sheyla, I’m 15 years old and I’m a freshman at West Jefferson High School. When I finish High school I want to become a Doctor. I’ve always wanted to be a doctor even when I was younger I always said I was going to become a doctor. **
 * I’ve always been interested in becoming a doctor because I like helping people when there sick. I don’t know why but I’ve always been interested in doctors. I always admire doctors for what they do, and there ma biggest inspiration. I always admire what they do. **
 * I was in the delivery room when my sister had both of her children. I found it interesting watching my two nephews being born. Then about 3 or 4 years ago I found out that my dad wad diabetic. I was really sad, but that made me realize that I wanted to become a doctor even more. **
 * There are a lot of thongs that I would like to find out. I would like to find out exactly how long it takes to become a doctor. I know that doctor’s get paid a lot, but I would like to find out how much they get paid and hoe many hours they work. I think it would be good to find out what courses I’d have to take to be a doctor. **
 * I know that becoming a doctor takes a lot of work, and you need a lot of dedication. There are a lot of advantages and disadvantages that doctors have. One of the biggest advantages that they have is that they save a lot of lives. The saddest disadvantage is that just like they save lives they also lose people. If I become a doctor I think the worst part would be that I wouldn’t be able to save a patients life and watch them die in front of my face. **
 * Part II: The Story of My Search **
 * It was really hard to find out the information that I needed for this project. I didn’t bring my laptop so I had to wait for a laptop from the class set that we had. Some of the computers didn’t have internet, so that made it even harder to get a computer. The computers where kind of slow so it took longer to find all the information I needed. **
 * I found it hard to find some of the questions where really hard to find. I think the hardest question was to find the undergrad enrollment percentage. I looked over and over again and I still couldn’t find the answer to that question. It was also hard to find two good colleges. **
 * I got extremely frustrated when I couldn’t find an answer. I was ready to give up and just stop looking I was really mad. I got so mad that there was a point when I just felt like pulling all my hair out or something. **
 * It was really hard looking for all the answers. Even though I looked and looked I could only find the answers to half of the questions. I think we could of gotten easier question it would have been faster to find the answers, and we had a lot of question. We had to find the answers twice one for each college. Overall the hardest part of this project was the searching part. **
 * Part III: Results **
 * I’ve found out that the responsibilities of doctors are that they help people when their sick. They give people medicine and different types of treatments. They give advices about: diets, exercises, and sleep. They also figure out why people are sick. **
 * To become a doctor it takes at least 11 years (4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, and 3 years of working at a hospital.) I also learned that I should study Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math, and English. The test I would have to take to become a doctor is the MCAT. **
 * I would have to spend the first 2 years of medical school in the labs and in classrooms. Also take lots of science courses, and learn how to ask patients the right questions and learn how to examine them. I would also have to learn what kind of sickness the patient has. In the last 2 years of medical school, work with patients and doctors in hospital and clinics. After medical school doctors work in hospital for a few years. **
 * To be a doctor you have to like to help people. You have to be willing to study a lot, know how to talk to sick people, and be able to make decisions and handle emergencies. Studies shows that in 2005 the minimum the doctors earn was $132,953 and the maximum was $321,686, but it also depends on how long they have been doctors and where they live also on how many hours they work and how good of a doctor they are. **
 * Doctors work long hours and at all times during the day and during the night. Doctors sometimes have to rush to the hospitals to deal with emergencies. Doctors also have opportunity for advancement they go from residents to doctors to specialists. You can find doctors most likely at clinics and hospitals. **

 * Part IV: Reflection **
 * When I found out all the work I needed to do to become a doctor, I was really thinking about changing my career, but then I decided to stick with it because I know that I would be able to save a lot of lives. I know that it’s going to be hard to become a doctor but that’s always been my dream. **
 * After all of the information that I got I didn’t think that I would have the time to do it. I thought that I was going to change my career. I still don’t know if I’m going to change my career yet but I’m really thinking about it. **
 * After I thought for along time I decided to stay with that, because my dad and all my family will be proud of me. I can show everybody that doubted me that I can make it. I would also be proud of my self because I always quite on things when there to hard, and if I make it to a doctor I know that I would be able to do any thing I set my mind to. **
