Phlebotomist profession From this presentation, several lessons can be drawn. I realized that such a professional in the phlebotomist sector requires for someone to maintain their focus and also decide on what they intend to do rather than go in for the sake because this sector requires your attention for its sensitivity. In my journey and education, it is essential that I can understand and know precisely what my goal is so that I can concentrate on achieving that. In working towards your goals, having set achievable targets through-out your course is essential because you can track your progress. During the presentation, I was challenged to reflect further on the need to write down the long term and short term visions because it is through such an initiative that I can gauge the goals and work towards hitting the targets. I also realized that even though where one did their studies did not matter as much, it was essential to making sure that I can amass as much knowledge as I can in my field so that I can be…
The discussion when Anya sympathized with Emily The first time I started to see Anya as sympathetic was when Emily told her what happened to her and how she was killed. She portrayed to Anya that she was actually murdered, and chase by the person who killed her family to the well, which she fell inside. Emily was too crushed to be able to call out for help, which led her to die in the well. Once Anya heard this, she was sympathetic to Emily and ended up becoming friends with her. She started to respect all the things Emily did for her before she found out Emily was lying and became dangerous. Anya being sympathetic really shows in the frames on page 92. Anya is frustrating as well because she thinks she wants one thing but then changes her mind on what she originally wants. She is also a moody teenager and does not act like she cares about her family unless she is trying to save them from Emily, which she does at the end of the book.…
