Personal Narrative: My Time In A Dental School

Using some simple time management skills can give the student the ability to complete tasks without feeling overwhelmed. Insufficient communication between myself and the school also crippled my studies. Over this course, I’ve learned to excel as a student the importance of new time management skills. The transition although stressful is exciting and eye opening. It's a completely different experience versus the typical college classes I was involved in when I enrolled in traditional college after high school. I will admit I am disappointed in myself this course for falling behind, being side tracked I’m unsure how far behind I’ve become. There’s one thing this has taught me and that’s discipline with my schedule because I find it's easy to get

I was never a kid that knew who I would become when I grow up. My interests ranged from wanting to become an interior designer to having a strong desire of becoming a pilot. I was often surrounded by healthcare professionals but I never imagined myself striving to become one. Little did I know that I would end up at a stage in my life where I would be sure about pursuing a career in healthcare. Although I have decided on my career path, I have yet to discover a particular field within healthcare that grabs my interest. The RA Internship will help me learn more about medicine and help me find a right field of study through clinical research experience and monthly lectures offered to me as an intern. Though this opportunity I will be able to

Throughout my educational experience I noticed the discrepancies with regard to the advantages my peers possessed. In high school as I began exploring what career I wished to pursue, I experienced inferiority as my classmates who’ve taken the ACT three times, visited college campuses, and have had resumes ready since the 6th grade unintentionally mocked my lack of college-readiness. However, my ignorance wasn’t intentional, my parents never reached a high school education in Mexico, they couldn’t pass down SAT tips or acquire internship opportunities for me. I realized it's vital to pick up the pace to avoid being left in the dust akin to countless others in my situation. Henceforth, this statement resonates with my experience, I interpreted

My alarm went off at 6:30 I clicked snooze and got off the couch and went upstairs to the bed and laid back down. Then I plugged my phone up into my charger and set my alarm for 7:25 and went back to sleep. When it went off again to wake me up and I got up and went straight to my mom to remind her that I'm going out of town for the weekend and she asked me about everything again to make sure everything was okay and reminded me about my orthodontist appointment. So, I ran my shower picked out my outfit for the day and then jumped in the shower, then when I got out my momma was asking me where her phone was. I said it was on the bed, she said no it was not and then I called her phone and walked out to the ironing board. That's when she found it and I asked for my card once again and she gave it to me and said don’t spend all your money now.

As a registered chairside dental assistant at Dental Specialty Clinic, I was the lead dental assistant and my job included to assist doctor with oral procedures and lead our dental team. Our goal was to organize the clinic in a manner so that patients were given proper care within time limit. My role was to keep track of time and our team so that planned patients were given care from the scheduled time.

My first year at Jamestown Community College as a student, I accomplished making Part-time Dean’s List two semesters back to back. Beginning college that year my personal goal was to strive making new habits to get the best experience out of college, while keeping up with my grades. I took classes to guide me through learning paths, but it they taught me ways of accomplishing what you wanted out of life and other significant information in classes. Prior, to entering to college I received a scholarship called Chautauqua Educational Opportunity to attend Jamestown Community College. It is significant to my study because in high school I constantly strived to push myself to get the grades I wanted to be proud of. I was part of a couple activities

I interviewed a dental assistant by the name of Cheandrea Sanders the 19th of December and got plenty of information I could use in my career along the line. Her job is the same exact job I plan to do once I finish at Lawson. Working with kids has been something I’ve wanted to do since I was younger. One thing I may not like in this occupation is bad breath or a kid biting me, but seeing kids happy and smiling is something I live for on a day to day basis. Three ways the interview influenced me was to get a step ahead and look around for dental offices now, dental assistants will always be needed, and to never give up even when life throws a curve ball.

Teeth are one of the most important feature of our body. We use teeth to grind and chew food everyday. Teeth make us look fabulous when we smile on the camera, but could you imagine if people have lost there teeth, how are they going to look and how can they chew food? This was the reason I went to dental assistant school and become a register dental assistant.

After almost a lifetime of going to orthodontist appointments for myself, I began to realize what a great job becoming an orthodontist would be. When I was about 9 or 10 years old, I had began the first stage of braces. After that, I was given instructions of how to properly take care of my teeth, such as which foods I couldn’t eat. I did not enjoy the entire experience throughout the years, but was relieved when they were removed before my first year of high school. Then I put on my retainer, and discovered it was like having braces

In 2014, I was the first person in my family to earn a college degree. During my time as an undergraduate at Norfolk State University I faced many challenges. I was trying to balance being a full-time student with being a mother, military spouse, and a dental assistant. Although I struggled academically in the beginning, I quickly improved my academic performance and, was able to develop strong time management skills. My ability to turn setbacks into comebacks shows that I have the resilience needed to be successful in the Medical Education Development Program and in Dental School.

A girl, long black hair falling like curtains around her face, sat in her college classes with no friends, nearly invisible, this was me on my first day of college in the United States. Growing up as a little village girl, ironing my school dresses before sunrise each morning, combing my hair, packing my lunch, completing my homework with precision after school each day, and then helping my grandmother in the evenings, made up my childhood routine. I spent my childhood being raised by and living with my grandparents in a village in India. These were some of the best days of my life. Our relationship provided me with a unique gift to learn about their life experiences and wisdom. I loved being my grandfather’s grocery shopping companion and my grandmother always told the best bedtime stories that were oral traditions passed down for generations.

One extra-curricular activity that helped me learn about myself, impacted my life, and helped me with my future was my experience at the ACMC Academy. The Ashtabula County Medical Center Academy was an educational internship at my local hospital that I competed for, and was selected to participate in over the summer of 2015. Out of over three hundred applicants throughout the local high schools, I was one of only ten students selected. In the Academy program, I had the opportunity to shadow two different departments within the hospital and witness real-life job situations that happen every day.

Starting sophomore year of high school  I have been on the look for college I am interested in. Some research and a few campus visits really help narrow down my choices to five. My interest in dental school drove me to look specifically for schools with a pre dental program. I ended up applying to five different colleges and north park college was my top choice due to the great pre dental programs it has. I am middle eastern. After some research I found out that North Park university had a middle eastern club which got me even more interested because I all my life I went to schools with many different culture, but not each culture was appreciated enough. Knowing that north park had clubs for many of these cultures made me even more interested.

How I manage time is a reflection of what I value. Managing my time corresponds to how successful I will be in college and throughout life. Knowing and setting priorities to meet goals, carrying out plans, taking control of time, and staying focused are some events that are involved with time management. For many of us, balancing school with work and family is the greatest challenge involved with prioritizing. Good advance planning will help in meeting these challenges. Staying focused is usually difficult, especially for first-year students. Staying focused entails remembering and dedicating to the most important purpose for being in college. Sacrificing unnecessary commitments and keeping my
