Education: For most entry-level jobs, environmental scientists and specialists must have a bachelor’s degree in environmental science or a science-related field, such as biology, chemistry, physics, geosciences, or engineering. However, a master’s degree may be needed for advancement. Environmental scientists and specialists who have a doctoral degree make up a small percentage of the occupation, and this level of training is typically needed only for the relatively few postsecondary teaching and basic research positions. A bachelor’s degree in environmental science offers a broad approach to the natural sciences. Students typically take courses in biology, chemistry, geology, and physics. Students often take specialized courses in hydrology, waste management, and fluid mechanics as part of their degree as well. Classes in environmental policy and regulation are also beneficial. Students who want to reach the Ph.D. level and have a career in academia or as an environmental scientist doing basic research may find it advantageous to major in a more specific natural science such as chemistry, biology, physics, or geology, rather than the broader environmental science degrees. Students should look for opportunities, such as classes and internships, which allow for work with computer modeling, data analysis, and geographic information systems. Students with experience in these programs will be the best prepared to enter the job market.

“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for ‘tis better to be alone than in bad company.”

George Washington

Reflection: this is very true because if you in bad company you do terrible things and always do bad things but if you are alone then you can do good things. For example if you were with bad company then you would do drugs or get in trouble but if you were alone then you could study or read a book and maybe help someone else in need. In reality you don't need to be with people you can always be alone. Although being alone is not all that great you sometimes accomplish more alone than when your with a group of friends. For example if you’re with a group of friends and they are good ones that great except you're not always going to do what you want. Say you want to stay for tutoring during lunch or you want to turn in a paper. You can’t always do that because maybe one of your other friends doesn't want to do that so all of you have to agree with something. That thing your friends and you agree with might not be what you best wanted.

“Right is right only when entire.”

Victor Hugo

Reflection: This is true because now in that truth there is a lie so it’s not a truth any more. this is a good quote because a lie can never be a truth ever. once a lie comes in the truth the whole thing gets contaminated and it all turns to a lie. for example if something in a refrigerator is moldy then that mold will spread to everything and all the food that was good turns moldy. just like when you add a lie to the truth then all the goodness of that truth turns into a lie and that is bad.

“In life as in football, you won't go far unless you know where the goalposts are”

Arnold H. Glasgow

Reflection: This is very true because if you don't have goals in life then what are you going to do. For example if there is a match between two soccer teams how is either team going to win without their goals if they have no goals then what’s the point of the game. All that is going to happen is people running around and going crazy not knowing what to do. A game of soccer needs their goals because if they don't have goals then they can’t score and win the game. Goals are necessary in life so make some goals and accomplish them. Without goals you are going to be a lost sheep without something to guide it.

Basketball

James Naismith was the inventor of basketball. Basketball was invented in Springfield, Massachusetts in the year of 1891. Basketball was invented because the head of Springfield YMCA told James that within 14 days he must create an indoor game that was an athletic distraction. Also he had rules to this which were it couldn’t take up much room, it also had to keep the track athletes in shape, it had to be fair to all players, and couldn't be too ruff. The game was simply in the beginning and had little to no rules. The difference from now and back then was that now there are much more rules and the way the baskets and playing field is set.

Veterinary medical colleges typically require applicants to have taken many science classes, including biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, zoology, microbiology, and animal science. Most programs also require math and humanities and social science courses. Admission to veterinary programs is very competitive, and fewer than half of all applicants were accepted in 2012. In veterinary medicine programs, students take courses on normal animal anatomy and physiology, as well as disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Most programs include 3 years of classroom, laboratory, and clinical work. Students typically spend the final year of the 4-year program doing clinical rotations in a veterinary medical center or hospital.
