My experience at Northview High School has prepared me in many ways to take the next step towards my future. Here at Northview I have learned many lessons, both good and bad. From being a student at this school, I have learned a lot of things that I should no longer do, and refraining from these things should give me a more successful future in college. Along the way, I have also learned plenty of lessons that have helped me better myself as a person and also as a student.
One thing I have learned at Northview is that I should never stop caring about my grades or turning my homework in.

When I first joined this program, I thought I wanted to be dental hygienist. My sister in law was a dental hygienist and she made really good money doing it. I didn’t know much about any of the other careers, so that one sounded pretty good to me. After I explored Owen’s Community College, I soon found that I probably wasn’t right for that career and it would probably be a pretty tough one to get into. I then looked into what it took to be a dental assistant, which was a little easier, but didn’t seem to be what I wanted
