My Experience At The Age Of Five

My life has truly been transformed by Dentistry; it has boosted my confidence and aligned me with the career path of my dreams. Early on in life, every aspect of Dentistry captured my heart. Learning to cope with my embarrassing smile inspired me to want to help others by giving them what they always dreamed of. Knowing I have the power to make someone's dreams come to life is the reason I wake up each morning with a drive and desire to achieve my goals. While striving with a strong focus, packaged with confidence and sincerity, I will pursue my passion through demanding training. I not only plan to be a hardworking, determined and ambitious student, but with my skills as an orthodontist, it will further my ability to be an active member in

I even knew that a person could become a doctor of tooth care or someone who helps such a doctor like my aunt. But I wasn’t that special and was like everyone else as a child who wanted to become many things when they “grew up” like an inventor or an underwater scientist. It only makes sense then that I grew serious about my career choice during the last year of middle school because those years were full of big decisions. My fascination of teeth made me turn my desires to the health field, specifically to dental care because it combined my need to help others with the love of

Deciding what you want to do for the rest of your life is never easy; in part because you never know what the future has in store. Furthermore, there are endless possibilities to take into consideration. A desire to help others has always been a passion of mine and I envision myself in a service oriented career path. With a great deal of time, soul searching, research and careful consideration, I have come to realize that pursuing a degree in dental hygiene will help me reach my goals and fulfill my dreams. Dental Hygienists are patient, understanding, detail-oriented and passionate about oral hygiene. They possess leadership skills and enjoy daily interaction with patients. I embody these character traits and look forward to educating

I’m interested in attending either to Lone Star Community College or to Houston Community College after graduating from high school. I’ve always felt that the field of dentistry is what I would belong in because it’s practical and includes technology skills which I’ve acquired. To become a Hygienist, I will need to get an Associate’s Degree and if I’ll like later I can get a Bachelor degree for research, teaching or managing a dental/public office. This career involves cleaning teeth and examining oral areas for signs of oral disease, I may educate patients on oral hygiene and take or develop x-rays. The career that suits me best is Dental Hygiene because the employment outlook is faster than many and I get to enjoy

My plans after completing high school is attending Southern University Shreveport Louisiana (SUSLA) or Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA) to become a dental hygienist. The entry level for this occupation is an associate’s degree and it takes up to three years to complete. A dental hygienist clean teeth, examine patients for signs of oral diseases such as gingivitis, and provide dental care. I have already started working on the path to reach my future occupation by taking up a dental assisting class at the Caddo Career & Technology Center (CC&TC).

As a child, everyone dreams of what that they want to become in world. Some want to grow up to be doctors, garage drivers, teachers and dancers. My dream has not always been clear to me; I wanted to be a neonatal nurse while I was in high school. I took courses throughout high school, and discovered that nursing was not God’s plan was for me. I did not find out that animal care was what I was truly passionate about until the days after my dog got ran over. Wrapping her bandages, cleaning her wounds and giving her medicine brought to me such joy that I have never felt before. Becoming a veterinarian was not what I planned, but it is was what I become passionate about.

All my life I have questioned myself, “What is my real interest in life that I enjoy doing the most?” Therefore, I decided to review my life to find things which I adore the most. Lastly I realized that my interest is to help people, helping others brings me a great spiritual satisfaction for that reason I want to become a dental hygienist.

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.

From here I plan to continue my Goal to become a Dental hygienist. I plan to continue my basics here at Grayson County College and receive my Associates Degree in Dental Assisting. When I receive my Associates Degree, I will start working in a Dentist office as a Dental Assistant. I will continue studying at Collin Country College to become a Dental Hygienist. My Goal is to be finished with my studying in four years.

Growing up as a child I always wanted to a Dentist but through the many paths that life offers, I have taken a few unplanned paths. After attending a four-year university on a softball scholarship and receiving degrees in Exercise Science which covered most of the requirements for dental schools, a Business degree with the plan of owning my own office one day, and a degree in Public Health to have a broad basis of needs and approaches for the general public. Following my bachelor’s degree, I set out and completed the remaining requirements for dental school as well as three lengthy internships within the dental field. During my time interning under a dental hygienist, a dentist, and a dental surgeon, I was able to confirm what I once thought

I feel that I am well suited for a career in dentistry. No matter how many years of schooling it takes to become a dentist, I think that if I set my mind to it I will be able to succeed. The scariest part for me I think will be the first four years of college, taking the prerequisite classes. This scares me because I’m afraid that I won’t be able

If I were to be climbing a mountain, I would say that I feel like I’m still at the very bottom of it. I have SO MUCH to learn, but I understand it takes time and experience to feel like I really know what I’m doing. I can’t wait to get to the point where I feel so comfortable instrumenting in someone’s mouth that I could do it without thinking. However, I believe that with time it will all come together. I have to say, I feel really proud of myself for being where I am at right now. If someone had told me 10 or 20 years ago that one day I would be a year away from becoming a dental hygienist, I would have not believed them. I can remember looking into dentistry back when I was in high school, when I lived in Mexico, of even touring the school, but not pursuing the career because I was afraid of failure. I decided to follow my sister’s steps and going to the university to study something completely different. However, I was never satisfied. It took years for me to decide to go back to school, I always had an excuse why not to, including among other things my age, but like the saying says, “it’s never too late.” I’m thankful to my husband who encouraged me to take the first step and look into programs that I would like. It was then that I remembered the curiosity I had had in dentistry. When I came across the dental hygiene

When looking for the right college it is important to know what one’s goal and personal value is. Goals are set in order to complete no matter how long the time frame may be, personal values are a central part of who people are, and who they want to be. By becoming more aware of these important factors in life, they can be used as a guide to make the best choice in any situation. Some of life's decisions are really about determining what one values most. College should be a personal value, and attending college and receiving a diploma should be a goal for everyone. I intend on becoming a dentist so I must start planning a goal and expand my tree branches of knowledge. In order to become one I must obtain a bachelor's degree in any major. Then

Since early childhood, I always believed I would choose a career in the medical field. When I was five years old, I was asked: “What do you want to be when you grow up”? I always responded by saying: “I want to become a dentist”. I began to pursue my lifelong goal of becoming a dentist or doctor after enrolling at the University of Georgia majoring in biology. I interviewed and shadowed many doctors, all of whom specialized in different areas. I learned about the education process of becoming a doctor, daily tasks, their lifestyle, and the hours they worked. However, the more time I spent shadowing and working with people in those fields; the less I believed that a career as a

Sitting in class for the first time, it was half of what I expected. I expected to sit by people I didn’t know, learn about old things in new lights, and writing a lot of papers. What I didn’t expect was me hating college. I am not as creative as some teaches would like, but that isn’t my personality, and I dint want it to be either. I fully expected college to try and morph me into a perfect little student that I knew I wasn’t. College so far to me hasn’t been fun and I will treat it like Wal-Mart. When I say that, I mean that I will get in and get out as fast as possible. If I pick up stuff along the way then alright, but if I don’t, then it won’t kill me.
