My Personal Statement
My initial exposure to taking dentistry as a prospective career path came on a treatment visit to my father's friend Dr. Ahmed Al-Hallaq in my origin country Syria, it was my first time entering the dental clinic, however I felt belonging to this place, when I met the dentist I here started learning the real extent to which dentistry is a career, and how it can truly improve the quality of people's lives.

Here I started to fall in love with this career.

I kept helping the doctor as a volunteer for a period of 5 days. During that
