Reflection: I would not like to be a H.S.L because this career or profession seems so frustrating. I am the kind of person who is patient; I tend to get irritated fast. If I am going to have to explain to those who need my help and are going through the face of neglect, I think I wouldn’t be able to handle it at all.
