The scraping of teeth isn't the most appealing noise or feeling to most people, but then again, most people don’t genuinely enjoy their semi-annual trip to the dentist like I do. Don’t get me wrong, i'm not infatuated with the idea of a sickle probe grazing my teeth, but the idea of having a mouth full of pearly whites makes up for it. Unlike most kids, I never had a dream career like being a firefighter or an actress. I always just assumed it was something I could figure out at the end of my high school career, so imagine my surprise when I found a crystal clear idea earlier than I thought I would.
I walked into what I thought was a routine checkup, but I left realizing it was much more. I sat in the fairly comfortable, plastic wrapped chair like always, and patiently waited while the nurses examined my mouth. As always, after the women had finished their jobs, they called the doctor over to view how my teeth were responding to my newly tightened wires, but what happened next wasn't what I was used to at all. Instead of getting the usual “If only you would double up on rubber bands, then you would find your braces off much sooner than expected”speil. This time I got to hear a completely new speech. “Congratulations, your braces are coming off today!” For four long years, and I mean long years, I had been waiting to hear those words and they sounded just as sweet as I had imagined. I couldn’t contain my excitement! I grew more and more impatient waiting for the doctor to
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
C. As long as schooling increases the marginal return to work more than crime and schooling does not decrease patience levels or increase risk aversion.
“ Great shot Breanna, great shot” said a fan congratulating her on winning the game with a buzzer beater shot, with a second left to play. After the game was done, she went into the locker room to change and get ready to go home. Once she got finished changing she starting walking outside towards her car.
George Mallory was one of the earliest climbers of Mt Everest, said that he did so “BECAUSE IT WAS THERE”. What a fantastic inspiring attitude. Do we still have that adventurous attitude that George had? How many of us ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬have been on an adventure recently? (pause) Did you know that it has been scientifically proven outdoor adventures can treat and prevent a wide range of health problems. It can also make you smarter. Is anyone bad at maths around here? (pause) Well, here are some stats and big numbers for you. Stop recording
We are here for one goal I but what if you could do that while helping others. (Goodwill)
As I sat at my computer, summoning the courage to apply to dental school, I found myself asking, “What was it? Which moment in time?” Truthfully, there wasn’t one experience or moment. My list of reasons for pursuing a career in dentistry is extensive. A career in the dental field offers many benefits. These benefits include job security, comfortable pay scale, excellent flexibility in respect to work hours, a broad spectrum of work environments, such as private practice or a hospital, flexibility to find a job almost anywhere in the world, from an urban or rural setting near home, to the far reaches of the world. While all of these benefits might be enough reason or motivation for someone to enter the dental field, my interest goes far beyond the benefits. Impacted as a small girl by a dental trauma, my exposure and interest in the dental field grew from numerous positive experiences and left me with a thirst to spend time in a dental setting; first from a patient perspective, and then as a student. My motivation and interest stems from a lifelong love and fascination for teeth. As the years have passed, I did and still do become excited about walking into a dental office.
An American literary theorist and novelist, Kenneth Burke, once said, “Wherever there is persuasion, there is rhetoric, and wherever there is rhetoric, there is meaning.” (Burke) Barack Obama, Martin Luther King Jr. and Fannie Lou Hamer all delivered powerful persuasive speeches that will go down in history. The use of these motivational individuals’ language and persuasion played a pivotal role within the civil rights movement, the movement that achieved the most important breakthrough in the equal rights legislation. We can observe this in the speakers’ rhetoric devices like ethos, logos and pathos.
Soon my dentist let me in. As usual, I was all ready to give my usual oral care presentation after the sterilization: I have always enjoyed instructing people how to protect their teeth to prevent potential dental issues.
I am writing in hopes that i might persuade you to look more in depth about the importance of Automotive technology. The importance of The Automotive Academy is a very big deal because in this united states especially that the trade of mechanics is still increasing. The amount of people that are unemployed in the united states are outrageous.
My fellow Huaorani we are facing a mass extinction. If we don’t act soon the tradition we have set up will disappear completely. The oil companies are trying to take over the ground beneath us because there is oil. They will stop at nothing to continue to make a profit and will show no mercy to us doing so. They look at us as if we are not even human, they show no respect for our traditions or our way of life.
Dentistry is not just a career for me, but an opportunity to participate in the advancement of dental health care and lifelong learning. After graduation, I would also like to challenge myself to pursue advanced education where I expect my learning to increase exponentially into the future. While developing fundamental knowledge and manual dexterity in pre-clinical and didactic courses, I also used my time to gain exposure to all branches of dentistry through community outreaches, seminars, and shadowing/assisting experiences. Becoming a third year dental student was taking another step closer to real-world dentistry as I started the general clinic and rotations in dental specialties. While completing my first root canal procedure, I was fascinated
*C. Motivation*: What if the person waiting on the list needing an organ transplant was someone you loved? Imagine if you had a brother or sister who had unexpectedly died and you were able to meet the person who received their heart, for example. Think of the satisfaction and possible comfort knowing that your brother or sister provided life for somebody else.
For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the
Dentistry was not always a clear path for me. My mother has been a medical office manager for 32 years and I was never shy of an opportunity to visit her workplace. Throughout our childhood, my brother and I often spent many afternoons in the office after school. I even spent two summers with her, filing papers and sending faxes, collecting many hours of medical office experience. It was not until my sophomore year of high school when I participated in the AHEC of a Summer Program that I decided to pursue a career in dentistry. Within the little time spent at the dentist’s office, I could not help but notice how he had become a significant part of his patient’s lives. He would sit and talk for a while about how school was going or inquire about a member of the family that had been sick. The work that he did to improve his patient’s health and the intentional manner he held in building relationships with his patients was something that stood out to me. When
A time in high school, I thought I had cavities and went to see the dentist. It was my first ever visit to the dentist and I was quite apprehensive about it. During my consultation, the dentist who had asked for an x ray of my molars explained to me that I did not have cavities. She also showed me my wisdom teeth in the x ray, which were still in development, explaining that I may have to extract them because they were inclined towards my second molars. She did a cleaning for me and taught me how to floss. Contrary to the “horror stories” I had heard about going to a dentist, I had quite a pleasant experience with her. I believe this exposure was what spiked my initial interest in the profession.
