When I am older, I want to be a cardiologist. A cardiologist is a type of doctor that studies the heart. What they do is while a patient gets surgery they monitor their heart to make sure everything goes well. If you are having heart problems they also examine and evaluate to see if you need surgery done. To do this, they run different tests. There are three main tests, Echocardiogram, Ambulatory ECG, and Cardiac Catheterization. An Echocardiogram is a soundwave picture to look at the function and structure of the heart. An Ambulatory ECG tells the doctors the rhythm of your heart. And a Cardiac Catheterization is when a small tube is placed near the heart to take pictures of the heart. A reason I want to be a cardiologist is because I want to help people get better. My grandma had heart problems and she has recently passed. If I was a cardiologist I could help people like my grandma get better.
Another reason (to be honest) is how much money I’d get. A cardiologist’s salary can rank anywhere from $270,624 to $589,767. On average, a cardiologist makes $400,925. Either of these amounts would be fine with me, I’m a big saver. The only thing I am uncertain of is that a cardiologist requires lots of education and training. To train as a cardiologist you have to go through four years of medical school and three more in other specialized training. Plus, to be certified as a cardiologist you must go through ten years of clinical education. Because of this, I am considering going into business. In business there is a lot of math, and that’s my favorite subject. The main goal for me if I go to business is to eventually become a CEO (Chief Executive Officer). A CEO is like a big boss of a company. They’re basically in charge of all the components in the business. They make from $589,745–$958,409. On average, they make $763,920. Money plays a part in my interest for this job as well. For me, money is super important because money buys you all the essentials and things you want.

Hi Trinity! I really like how you went into depth about this topic. I want to be either a professional soccer player, a equine trainer, or a ranger. Or maybe a cowboy? I don’t know yet, but there isn’t too much time for me to decide what I want to do. I love how much you wrote. I know for a fact that you would make a great cardio- whatever it was! Proof: You can put people at ease because you are very sweet. Also that you are really smart. Follow your dreams!
Alex
Follow the dream that sets your soul on an endless fire and passion.
Thanks Alex! Good advice. (I could totally see you as a professional soccer player.)
