Hello everyone!
my name is Rieneh Bakastani, I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I have been in Natural Science for a year. I chose as a doctor glossary because I would like to become a doctor one day and to help people discover more about diseases. As you know, in Quebec, we have a state called college after high school, in this state we have to focus more on our program, or it will be science and math or rather history and psychology. To become a doctor, you would have to do Natural Science, where you need 2 years minimum to be completed and have good grades to be accepted.
