No I would not like to be a genetic counseling. Like I said
in many of these posts I am a writer I like writing not helping people with
sicknesses. I can barely help myself with sicknesses. I rather do writer and
use my creative side rather than my logical side because I am not a logical
person I react with emotions which is not helpful in this type of field so yet
again you are welcome world for knowing my strengths and weaknesses. You owe
me.
