3 reason that I would be successful in this job is because a Physical Therapists main job is to help people maintain, improve, or restore functions, which I would enjoy helping people. Another reason I would succeed would because you deal with people everyday, so I wouldn't be alone doing some job all day, I would get to communicate. The last reason I might be successful is because in high school I have take a good amount of math and science classes and have been fairly successful in them.

3 reasons that I might not succeed in this career are that I don't like making people feel bad and if their injuries are too bad and I can't help them I'll feel bad. Another reason is that if I made a small error, it could endanger the patients health, which would be very bad. The third reason is that I would be exposed to infection and disease on a daily basis.
