Together Everyone Achieves More
ANON
I think the quote is trying to say that when people work as a team more is achieved and it is also achieved faster so it is good if you work as a team with people that will help you succeed in life. It is like working on a poster by your self it will take longer and will be harder, but if you work on it with a team it will be done faster and easier.

Genetic Counselors work with patients and families who have genetic, or inherited, disorders and birth defects.  They also counsel people who are at risk for these problems. Genetic counselors often: 
  • Educate patients and families about their conditions and how they might best manage their problems.
  • Examine family histories to determine the likelihood of genetic problems.
  • Assist patients and families in reaching decisions about genetic disorders that do not conflict with their religious or ethical values.

I would definitely consider being a genetic counselor because I would like to help out people that were born different.
