Students interested in becoming an optometrist should take the most challenging high school courses (AP or IB) available in math, science, and English.  Before entering an optometry school at least two years of college in a pre-professional program is required.  Optometry school is four years in length.  After being awarded the degree of Doctor of Optometry, optometrists must pass state exams before starting to practice.

"Physical fitness isn't only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it's the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much isn't yet understood, but we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong." 

President John F. Kennedy 

I agree with Mr. Kennedy because it is true the only way the body can function good is if the person is healthy and strong. If not then  your body will not give it a hundred percent.

"Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare" 

Japanese Proverb

I agree with this because if you visualize something it means you are thinking of something and you take no action that means  your vision has a good potential. If you take action without vision means you are acting before you think of something , which could end up in a bad situation.
