Peaceful Scenery



Student Success Statement

                          "To know what is right and to not do it is the cowardice"
                                                                                          -Confucius



Reflection: "To know what is right" means understanding fairness, equality and similar traits.Therefore, to act in bad faith is to be weak. Lies and deceit and making up excuses shows a lack a character. An adult is in a parking lot and hits a parked car. He knows the right thing to do is tell the owner at least by a note. Driving away is being a coward.



Biomedical Engineer

Educational Requirements:
Students should take the most challenging science, math, and English courses available in high school.
All biomedical engineers have at least a bachelor's degree in engineering.  Many have advanced graduate degrees as well.  Courses of study include a sound background in mechanical, chemical, or industrial engineering, and specialized biomedical training.  Most programs last from four to six years, and all states require biomedical engineers to pass examinations and be licensed.

Student Success Statement

                                                     "Always do Right."
                                                                 -Mark Twain



Reflection: I think he means that he sees people having very strong opinions about another persons character - either negative or very positive. If you always do right, those who already have a negative opinion will be irritated that they've been proven wrong, and those that already thought you were great will be happily gratified by you.

                                                                                    - Richard L. Evan

Reflection: This quote is addressing others who don't have the courage to choose whats right because it's frowned upon by others or because he fears the consequence. What Richard is trying to say is that we need to be brave, build courage, and have strength to chose the right and have the same bravery to not chose the wrong.

                             "Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable"
                                                                                            -Peter F. Drucker


Reflection: This quote may be trying to refer to society. You should avoid what is socially acceptable and do the right thing as a person. "Start with the right" may mean to stop and think what YOU think is right, rather than listening to OTHERS on what they think is "acceptable".

After three or four years of college, prospective physicians must attend medical school. Undergraduate requirements for admission to all medical schools include one year of basic chemistry, one year of biology, and one year of physics. Some medical schools also require course work in calculus, English, the Humanities, or social science.

Medical usually includes two years of additional study in both basic and clinical sciences and is followed by a yearlong hospital internship. Physicians who want to specialize must then undertake a three-year residency in their specialty.
