Impact on this world. Everyone has a life goal they would like to reach. When I was younger mine varied from a neurologist to something as extreme as an astronaut. Since then I've had time to expand my opportunities in life and grow. I can now see my future as an oral surgeon. Sure, it's not easy and yes it can be up to eight years of college. That's right, I said eight. That's okay though, I strive for success and hard work is the only way to get there.

Have you ever thought about some things that would just be plain out impossible without your teeth. Even chewing your favorite food could become a challenge. Dentist help with so many things like keeping your teeth healthy from tooth decay or even gum disease.
I was first inspired to pursue this career when I met my dentist Dr. Gardener. He did his job so well and walked around with a smile on his face while doing so. He always asked me what career I wanted to pursue when I grew up and when I told him I had a passion to be an oral surgeon, it caught him by surprise. He then went on to give me the opportunity to work at his office and have hands on learning. He taught children how to stay healthy and loved every second of
There are many things that motivated me to pursue in the dental field, but one of most intresting things to me would be how a dental assistant helps, how they do the radiographs and makes sure all the proper equipment is ready for the doctor Nothing makes me happier than seeing a patient happy after getting their teeth cleaned, or getting them taken care of when they have an uncomfortable pain. I chose this field because I enojoy helping people and making a difference.
“As a surgeon you have to have a controlled arrogance. If it's uncontrolled, you kill people, but you have to be pretty arrogant to saw through a person's chest, take out their heart and believe you can fix it. Then, when you succeed and the patient survives, you pray, because it's only by the grace of God that you get there.”-Mehmet Oz. One never considers themselves able to accomplish something great until they meet someone great who has already acquired insight of the world from the other side, the side where all of the talented men dwell. A young girl does not grow up dreaming of becoming an oral surgeon; she dreams of traveling and seeing the world outside of the walls of her small town. I had already had my fair share of adventure, having more surgeries than my mother had by the time I was three months old. I had what specialists call Van der Woude Syndrome. Basically, I was the 1 in 100,000 babies in the world who happened to have this genetic disorder. A key characteristic of Van der Woude Syndrome is a cleft lip. With that being said, I had many surgeons in my lifetime, but one man stuck out. Maybe it was because it was one of the biggest surgeries I had, or maybe, just maybe it was because God had put him in my path to inspire me for greatness.
The career I have chosen is Dental Hygiene. I am very interested in this career because I have the opportunity to teach people and educate them about the health of their mouth. Some of the things that dental hygienists do include taking x-rays, cleaning patients teeth, educating patients on the benefits of good oral hygiene, and treating periodontal diseases of the mouth. The importance of a healthy mouth truly affects the entire body. Plus everyone would enjoy a pretty smile and a good set of straight teeth.
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
My goal in my career is to make people’s lives better. Throughout my life I have tried to help people in whatever ways possible. I have had the unique opportunity to grow up in a family of nine people, myself being the oldest of seven kids. These experiences have helped grow my desire to help others. This will help me in my future career as it has taught me empathy and how to go above and beyond to help others.
As far as goals, I intend on graduating from college and fulfill my aspiration of having a professional career. Growing up, my father has always worked minimum paying jobs and living for paycheck to paycheck, while my mother has always been a housewife. Whenever it came to school, my parents encouraged me to do my best in my studies.
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
One of my many goals in life, since I was younger, was to major in a profession where I can change the world and make it a better place. I want to help people and positively impact their lives. This is when I decided to major in occupational therapy and focus the profession towards youth. Hopefully, I will be able to
I never quite comprehended what it was actually like to pursue a profession in dentistry until I became a registered dental assistant employed at West Davis Dental. Of course, being a dentist has always been a dream of mine since I was a little girl, however experience in the dental field has assured me that becoming a dentist is without a doubt, what I aspire to be. I have grown tremendously in my knowledge of dentistry, and furthermore as a person. I absorbed a vast amount of vital information that I believe will help me to be proficient in Dental School, and will absolutely benefit me, and help me to succeed in private practice. My office had three doctors with their own unique skills and talents on doing procedures. There are two General
I have always dreamed of being in the medical field. But, there came a point in my life where income was more important than education. After graduating in June of 2011 from The Charter school of San Diego, I had the perfect career plans. Little did I know a perfect future was never promised. The trials I have overcome, have molded me into the hardworking ambitious young adult I am today. I am truly going to be an amazing Dental Assistant.
Without dreams and goals, success is hard to achieve. In grade school, I decided to become something in the medical field because I wished to help people
I pursue a career in dentistry because I have realized that it will be a challenge to me. As a junior in highschool I was given an opportunity to a year long course held by ROP to receive a technical career as a dental assistant. I could not let this opportunity pass, I had to take it. I am now able to utilize my knowledge and skills to volunteer in nonprofit organizations within the dental field as well as in dental offices. Compassion and determination have been my leading traits and driving forces for becoming a dentist.
Becoming what I wanted to be was the main goal. The goal was always to become what I wanted to no matter what it took. Being a teacher, I knew would be a
A career in Dentistry is my main goal in life. I want to pursue a career in Dentistry for many reasons. Being a Dentist, you get to aid people and make them feel better about themselves. I have the personal qualities to be a Dentist and know that I would be great at the job. I would look forward to going to work every day. Dentistry contains many tools and oral practices that I am not familiar with. It would be awesome to get to be familiar with the lifestyle of a Dentist. Someday, I might even be able to live their lifestyle. Focusing in school is the main priority for all jobs. Dentistry also involves a diverse (longer) college route than most. This means that the academic requirements to be a Dentist are quite time consuming, but the
I have many goals in life such as to have a good strong career and family. What is important to me is graduating Central high school and go on to UND. While at UND I plan to get my nursing degree and specialize in pediatrics and truama. I have
