If you would give me the opportunity to express my love and dedication to the dental field, you will be astounded with my overall work ethic.

    Ever since I was about five years old, I thought that I was going to go to school to become a dentist. I even shadow a dentist to see what their daily routine was like. But once I started doing a little more research and after I had the opportunity of shadowing a dentist I then decided that it was not the career for me. In high school I also got the opportunity to job shadow at Jackson Hospital, Baptist South Hospital, and at Health South in Montgomery, Alabama. I got the opportunity to shadow because of a class that I was taking at my high school.…

In order for a wild flower to grow, it needs the proper nutrition, as do your goals, you have to nourish and allow you goals to grow, but in the same breath you have to accept failure where it comes in trying to achieve that goal you have, because failure is another way of learning.

    They call them “Tap-taps,” the brightly painted open back trucks that transport passengers through the dusty streets of Haiti. A traveler taps the side of the vehicle to board, pays, rides and then taps to jump off at a desired destination.

    I have always been interested in learning and using new ideas. Throughout my life, I have invariably drawn from my life experiences, newly learned ideas and my continuing education to help problem-solve sensibly and realistically allowing me to move forward or help others reach their goals. Although I have no formal teaching experience, in my past work and involvement in organized sports, I have repeatedly used the Progressive philosophy. When dealing with 13 & 14 year olds many situations arise such as bullying, personality clashes or simply not understanding a drill or play. I deal with these situations by asking questions to stimulate a discussion, allowing them to draw on past experiences; positive or negative, consequently allowing them to come up with a solution or grasp the knowledge they are seeking.…

    There are approximately 397,000 children in foster care in the United States of America currently and I used to be one of them. However, foster had not even been near the forefront of my mind that summer. The summer before I started my first year of high school, I had plenty of anxiety about the tall tale I invented in my own mind that stood before me. Stories about how hard high school were numerous and often regaled on the crowded bus ride home by high schoolers who seemed to have the knowledge of every wise teacher in history combined. which that scared me to death; I had always held my position as a good student who followed the rules of my middle school.…

    There is no science to my madness; I keep it simple when it comes to organizing my day, or reminding me of an appointment. My calendar app on my phone is the only way I keep up with my busy schedule. When adding to my calendar I make sure I have a brief description that reminds me of what I have to accomplish. Usually, for appointments I have scheduled I set a reminder for that morning to inform me about upcoming appointments for that day, so I am better aware of my day. As I mentioned in my introduction, I am a Dental Assistant in the Army, and I see multiple patients on a daily basis.…

    Growing up, since the age of 8, I have always wanted to be a dental hygienist. It wasn’t something I felt passionate about, but I kind of liked teeth and my mother said I should do it, so I went for it. I got straight A’s in the classes for the dental hygiene program and did not get into the program. I decided that it wasn’t meant to be and I should be doing something that I personally chose to do. Being a teacher was something I always thought about, but public speaking was my greatest fear, so I figured if I can’t do public speaking I can’t be a teacher.…
