“The more obedient we are the more freedom we have.”

Boyd K. Packer

When I read this quote the first thing that came into mind was jail. The reason why is because if you are disobedient and don’t follow the laws you can go to jail. For example if you use illegal drugs you can end up in jail. So when I thought of being obedient and how it gives you freedom I thought about how if you obey the law do good you are free, free from jail and you get to live your life happily with friends and family. Not obeying the law will just get you in trouble or in jail and you are no longer able to live a happy life with your friends and family, you are just stuck in a cell with people who you don’t know. So that’s why it’s just best to be obedient. 

Obedience

Obedience is when you are doing good deeds. Listening to your parents, teachers, adults, etc. An example of being obedient is when your parents tell you to do the chores you are supposed to do and not fighting back that you don’t want to and it’s not fair. Another way of being obedient is when your teacher tells you that you have to do an assignment instead of nagging that you don’t want to its best if you just do it. Some synonyms of obedience is duty, conformity, submission, and deference. 

Military Medical Career

Duties and Responsibilities:

And advantage of military medical jobs is the paid training and the education provided. You don’t necessarily pay out of your pocket for your degree instead you will have more or less four years of active duty it usually depends on the level of education and training you received. Once the requirements are met you are clear of any debt for your medical training.

Average Salary: $55,000 - $85,000

Educational Requirements:

If you want to go into military medical careers they have 6 corps in their health care team and more than 90 areas of concentration. Each branch of military has their own specific needs but one thing all four military branches have in common is the physical health standards. You can have any physical weakness, deviation, from the slightest vision or hearing impairment to flat-footedness, and it could disqualify you for acceptance in the military. 

“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise”

Benjamin Franklin

I need to start sleeping early. I have a bad habit of falling asleep late at night and sometimes rushing to school so that I can be on time. Getting to bed early is what I should do because I need rest especially if you work out and early bed is needed.  If you go to bed early you wake up in time and don’t have to be rushing or being late so that makes you wealthy regardless if it’s school or a job. And going to bed early is wise because the next morning you will wake up with energy and not wake up in a bad mood. Sleeping early is important and it’s something I should start getting the habit of doing.

“A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession.”

Hippocrates

I agree with this quote because if we live an unhealthy life we start to limit our lifespan for example let’s say we eat nothing but junk food every single day and don’t exercise or try to start eating better it can damage our body like clog the arteries or it might give you diabetes and it can even cause a heart attack. By eating healthy, staying fit, and exercising we can live longer and we can do things like travel, learn new things, build up a career and a family, and watch your grandchildren grow. This is why we should stay healthy.
