Reflection: no unfortunately i don't like working with teeth and i am not going to go to college for a really long time because i think its a waste of my life to go to college for that long just to get a good job, i'm going to try to get certified as a construction worker so i could get paid a good amount and enjoy life I also won't go to college as long.
