Example Of A Psychologist's Assistant Personal Statement

With my early trips to the dentist and the natural loss of my baby teeth having sparked an interest in dentistry before I really knew what being a dentist meant, I began shadowing to further explore the profession. As I watched a tooth take shape from a blob of acrylic under the experienced hand of the dentist I was shadowing, I was filled with the same awe and satisfaction that I gain from the piano. Dr. Aboud repeatedly positioned the temporary crown in the patient’s mouth, checked his bite, and painstakingly continued to adjust the crown until the fit was just right. Though I have wanted to be a dentist for almost as long as I have played the piano, my interest in dentistry grew

My whole life, it has been apparent to those around me that I would be a dentist. I am highly inquisitive, passionate, compassionate, experienced, and I love teeth. I remember getting so excited to have my teeth cleaned as a child because my trips to the dentist were so much fun! At a young age, my mother instilled the importance of oral hygiene care. To this day, I wonder if it was the dentist, dental hygienist, or just the dental office ambiance that had me engaged as a young child. Almost immediately after graduating high school, I went to school to become a registered dental assistant and at that point, I figured out that I possess good manual dexterity, which is a fundamental skill to be efficient in the dental field. At the same time, I unlocked the key to my calling, passion. Six years later, I realized I had the potential to

Multiple years of research and field experience as well as my undergraduate coursework in Psychology, Counseling, and General Education has provided me with ample skills to be successful at the graduate level in the School Psychology program offered at Francis Marion University. Working within the school system with students with mental health needs and exceptionalities has been a dream of mine since I was in high school. I am confident the School Psychology program at Francis Marion University will provide me with the skill set needed to make my dream a reality and become the best School Psychologist I can be.

Technology is a very growing area and one cannot be successful if they are not up on the latest. In the dental field, most dental offices are now “digital and paperless”. It will be my responsibility to make sure that I teach my students how to function in a digital environment. In order to do this, I must be proficient in this area. If I will be successful, I must know what new procedures and technology is being used in the dental field. “Dental technologies have been evolving continually, helping to transform the field of dentistry. New technologies are developed with a focus on creating products and developing techniques that can be used by dentists to help prevent, diagnose and/or treat dental conditions and diseases

At the age of thirteen, I decided that I wanted to become a dentist. I have since read countless dental textbooks explaining everything from anatomy to treatment of oral diseases. My junior year of high school, I entered the Dental Assistant program at the Clark County Skills Center. Through the program I gained the knowledge needed to become a dental assistant. The Skills Center further strengthened my decision to become a dentist by teaching me how the dental world truly functions. In December of 2105, at the age of 16, I became a Certified Dental Assistant and began working at Design Dentistry. Working at Design Dentistry with Dr. Wenzinger has inspired me to continue my education, and I plan to further my education to become a dentist.

I was accustomed to viewing the dental office from a patient’s perspective; however, this has changed after enrolling in a dental assistant course. The course intrigued my interest though the hands on learning, along with the opportunity for direct patient care. Although the course has prepared me to become a dental assistant, it has also introduced me the various dental health occupations. Ultimately, inspiring me to expand my career in dental health and pursue an education in dental hygiene.

My interest in the human brain really began my junior year of high school when I took AP Psychology. I could not get enough of learning about how and why we function on a day to day basis, which can be looked at from multiple perspectives including from a biological angle. It amazed me then, and still amazes me today, that a complex network of neurons which fire electrochemical signals is the basis of every action we do on a day to day basis. This idea sparked my passion for learning more about the nervous system and how it functions, and is an interest which remains with me to this day. This same year of high school I also fell in love with Chemistry and Anatomy/Physiology, both of which applied in some capacity to AP Psychology as well. Ultimately

When I was in fifth grade, I had the realization that I wanted to study Psychology. It became such a prominent thought that by the time I was a freshman in high school I was one hundred percent sure that I would dedicate my entire life to expanding my knowledge on such an interesting topic. I was so deeply intrigued by how different every single person is and how it all boils down to every single thought they have. Sophomore year I suffered from severe anxiety. This further engraved the idea that I wanted to help people focus on their mental health and bring attention to how important it is. My junior year of high school I was able to take AP Psychology. I was shocked by how many different branches there are and how the endless possibilities

It has been six years since I started my training as a dental assistant at Plainview Oral. During that time, I had the privilege of having a mentor, Dr. Bass. In addition to watching the care and compassion he had towards each patient, I was also able to learn the techniques and instruments used for each procedure. Through that experience, my passion towards the field of dentistry grew and I realized that this is the career path for me. Having a job that is hands on and requires precision and accuracy is something I excel in. Working with other people as a team is something that I value. I want to be of service in a community by helping others and making dental care easy and comfortable. Many people are uneasy about going to the dentist; being

As mentioned above, for the past three years I have been volunteering in underserved communities and working as an executive assistant in an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Office in which I process oral x-rays such as panoramic and cone-bean radiography, take impressions, manage and maintain patient's accounts and scheduling, financial reconciliation, treatment coordinator and surgical assistant.

Statement of Interest My journey into the wonders of neuroscience began in high school. A psychology class provided me with my first insight into what drives us as humans. This course was a relief for me because it felt like I finally found a question that innately resonated with me. However, studying psychology seemed as if I was just scratching at the surface of something remarkable, something of incredible magnitude, which I could not yet uncover; the inner workings of the brain. While human behavior was interesting, it was the underlying mechanisms in the brain that captured my imagination. When deciding on a major for my time as an undergraduate, I realized that my deep curiosities could not be satisfied in the field of psychology

However, while these invaluable experiences in some cases left me questioning my entire future, collectively they have taught me the invaluable lesson that the field of dentistry offers me the patient interaction, surgical procedures, flexibility, and most of all the ability to craft with my hands, that I so crave, just not in the place where for so long I had expected to find
