Finding one's self is never the easiest task in life and definitely does not always come easy to some people. I had myself and my career figured out and I enjoyed waking up every day and going to work because I loved working with animals. Although I enjoyed this field of work and the experiences I received I would not regret later finding out that I wanted to travel a different road.

After getting started the noises were so loud, it sounded like alien life forms were trying to communicate with me. I was mystified after coming out and seeing all the images. How could you see inside my body without any pain at all whatsoever? I began to be more involved and learned as much as possible in my reception roll as I could, I took interest in the back office and preparing the patients before getting an MRI. Working in the front is a great job, but it is a means to an end for me. I need something more challenging, something that catches my interest and will keep me on my toes every day.
