3.03 Strengths And Weaknesses

In the beginning, I was not completely sure if this was what I wanted to do in life, but over time I became more confident in this grand goal and more confident in myself. Each course would teach me something new about education and about me personally. I am thankful for every educator who helped me along the way and showed me that I am not wasting my time with these classes and with this profession as a whole. My target is in sight and with a little more work, I will be making a change like I always dreamed. Every course I complete is another piece of a dignified puzzle and I am proud of the pieces I have gathered so

In elementary school, one of my favorite days in grade school would be when my mom came in for her oral hygiene lessons. Even though my mom could have easily demonstrated proper techniques on how to brush and floss teeth with a dental model for my classes, she knew how excited I would always get when she called on me to personally demonstrate. I would brush in confidence those tooth surfaces, at a 45 degree angle and with small circular strokes. Promptly in the lesson, I would put the toothbrush vertically for those inside surfaces of my front teeth. My mom would end the brushing technique with a friendly reminder to brush for a full two minutes, twice a day. She also told the kids to think of triangles and to floss along the mesial and distal surfaces of their teeth, rather than straight down and cutting their gums. With every upcoming yearly demonstration, I honed that routine of mine, ensuring to my classmates the best way to keep the plague out. Even to this day, I have still got my middle school sketchbook in my desk drawer, where I had illustrated the cover as, “Dr. Pham, DDS”. Starting in my high school summer, I had my first shot to assist my parents with what I have always known to be as, “The Office.” In the day-to-day, I strove to follow my dad’s office procedures. Imagine, my young, impressionable self holding onto the large suction and water syringe as a patient’s wisdom were extracted; gums cut, that red blood flowing throughout the procedure.

I am thankful for the support I received to further my education;especially

Ma, I will like to say a big thank you for your encouragement and trust in me. Because if not for you I would have drop this class. I wanted to drop this class since I noticed the

First of all I want to thank God for being my strength and my savior for whole my entire life and for blessing me and I want to thank also to my family for being here beside me to support me to fulfill my dreams.I am thankful to myself to for working so hard to fulfill my dreams and for focusing and concentrating to my study I really work so hard to fulfill my dream I’d do my best to fulfill my dream.

After all that I thank you I want to help another person to become a better person or else I will go to hospital like North Hawaii Community

The classroom visit helped me understand how to communicate what I have learned in regards to preventative dentistry, into ways that the public would understand. Which overall encouraged me to better comprehend preventative dentistry as a whole. I found inspiration in the ability to educate those who are uninformed on the importance of oral health. I’m excited to share my skills as a dental hygienist to improve the lives of those around me, by meeting them where they are on their dental journey. I now have a sense of responsibility to help the community to maintain high oral health standards.

Lastly, I would like to thank my parents, teachers, and friends for their whole-hearted support. I would not be the same person I am today without them. My parents have paid for my education, taken me to school every day possible, and helped me at home with anything I needed help with. My teachers have greatly increased my knowledge and skill levels for nine years. And my friends have always had my back and I am endlessly thankful to everyone.

When I was 6 years old, I remember observing the fish swimming back and forth in the fish tank while I waited for my name to be called. Sitting in the waiting room at my pediatrics office, I thought to myself. Why would anyone want to become a dentist? You would have to deal with patient’s breaths all day. Little did I know that 16 years later, I am aspiring to become a dentist. The day that I realized I wanted to pursue the dental field was when my sister got her braces off. Growing up, I have watched her self-confidence slowly drift away, day by day. It was to the point where she no longer wanted to smile because she was embarrassed by her smile and teeth. After getting treatment and removing her braces, she became a whole different person. What the dentist and orthodontist did to her has changed her life forever. Witnessing what happened to my sister helped me find my purpose in life. I want to make a difference in peoples lives by giving them confidence and educate the importance of oral health just like my health care providers have done for my sister and I.

January was a mostly successful month. During soccer conditioning, I felt more in-shape like I had hoped at the beginning of the month. I also, thankfully, noticed an increase of fruit in my lunches. Sometimes I shift a little to potato chips, but it’s not my fault people made junk food taste so good! As for my responsibility goal… nothing really improved. I still complain about chores and put off my homework until last minute, but I hope to change that in future months.

With the long-term goal of becoming a transformational leader, it is often useful to consider one's strengths and weak nesses across four dimensions. These include personal and professional accountability, career planning, personal journey disciplines and reflect practice reference behaviors and tenets. The intent of this analysis is to evaluate my strengths and weaknesses in each of these four areas. In addition, a discussion will be completed on how current leadership skill sets will be used for advocating change in my workplace. The conclusion of the paper will concentrate on one personal goal for leadership growth, including an implementation plan leading to its fulfillment.

That was Month 1, at the beginning of Month 2, I had my first major surgery. The first three weeks provided substantial progress, I had been religiously doing my stretches, which worked on my flexibility,

I witnessed many procedures like teeth cleaning, removing plaque, putting on crowns, taking x-rays. I even learnt how to make dentures by working with my orthodontist and then put it into practice in my EPQ project and achieved an A for it. Another reason why I want to continue with this subject is that I love to network, I witnessed the close relationships that a dentist creates with his patients. I am in love with the idea of how dentists give patients from all walks of life a confident smile and forge a close bond with them over time impressed me. The relationship a dentist creates with their team member is riveting.

The strengths and weaknesses of a committed actor can be paradoxical. For this area I chose to consult with an acting colleague of 17 years. I thought it was necessary to have an objective perspective to honestly describe what has been observed from someone that knows me, personally. The following paragraph from a close friend and veteran actor explains this quandary in her description of me.

Also, I would like to give thanks to all of those who have supported and challenged me throughout my academic career. Finally, I will always be thankful to my family and friends for their unconditional support which has allowed me to accomplish everything in life, specially my mother. Thank you.

I also appreciate my coordinator Mr Grend who insisted that I take my study seriously and took the necessary disciplinary step to ensure I was constantly present for lectures. And also all the
