Everest College will fulfill my American dream because a successful career begins with a proper education. This college contains all the vital components necessary for me to become successful in my career choice. One of my favorite things about Everest is that it has a ‘hands-on’ program with a flexible schedule and that was exactly what I was looking for. Everest shows they really care about their students they are always there to encourage and to give the support system that needed in order to move forward. I love how the program teaches the importance of team work, customer services, patient care and the workings of a dental office.
From the moment I stepped into a dental clinic as a child, I was enthralled by the importance of oral health and the role of dental professionals in fostering it. This early fascination ignited a passion within me to pursue a career as a dental hygienist, where I could not only help individuals achieve healthier smiles but also contribute to the overall general health of those in my community. My educational goals are focused on acquiring the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience to excel in this field, and winning this scholarship would serve as a vital stepping stone in achieving those aspirations. Becoming a dental hygienist is more than just a career choice for me; it's a calling, rooted in my desire to make a tangible difference
As a student at Mountain Heritage High School, I started taking classes as a freshman to learn about architecture, interior designing, and landscape architecture. Second semester of my sophomore year, I wanted to become a Dental Hygienist. I started changing my schedules to classes that would help me in dental hygiene. Thankfully, I took a college class that would ease me into the medical field. It helped me to realize that Dental Hygiene is for me.
Dental hygiene is a splendid career path for me, as it allows me to be involved with all types of people around me as well as gives me a community feel that I love. With the help of my previous education I am going to South Puget Sound Community College, into their program, which provides me with hand-on learning of oral health and how to assist others in the community. My education so far will help me be successful in college by showing me to fulfill requirements
My Education goals are why I chose APUS, When I graduated from high school in 2014 I started my ROP Dental Assisting program to become a Certified Dental assistant in the state of California so that I could get my foot in the door in Dentistry to one day become a Dental Hygienist. But now here I am two years later working as a full time dental assistant and I have no passion or desire in pursuing in becoming a Hygienist because its not something I feel I could really be happy with and do for the rest of my life. My real passion has always been with children I have always loved working with children weather it was when I was working at a daycare in high school or when I was a cheerleading coach for young girls between the ages of 4-9, I have
My motivation in life thrives when I face challenges. My biggest challenge was moving away from my family and developing my network on my own. Growing up as a member of a Korean family, our greatest values are gathering and having quality time. Thus, it was hard to accept that I am no longer involved in family times due to the long distance. However, as I had more time for myself, I could look back at myself and explore my interest.
Not every seventeen year old can tell you what they plan on majoring in without changing their mind but not me. I’ve always been interested in teeth. I plan on studying Dental Hygiene at Northern Arizona University because I want to be exposed to more than one learning environment. When I receive my bachelors in Dental Hygiene I want to stay in Flagstaff for a couple years and eventually go back to school in order to become a dentist but I would rather be practicing dental hygiene than go to dental school for a long period of time.
Capturing a picture isn’t as easy as it seems. We have to make sure we have the right angles and filters. We want the most beautiful scenery and lighting. It’s all the little things we must adjust to create the perfect image. Life is exactly the same.
One big step forward into following my dreams. I am originally from Connecticut. I was born and raised there. Needless to say, the majority of my family and friends also live in Connecticut, which is where I call home. Shortly, after graduating High School in the year 2020, I became a Dental Assistant.
Being a Dental Assistant Dental Assistants can help change a person’s life in many ways. Dental assistants provide their patients a way to stay healthy within oral activities while also providing general happiness to a patient. Assistants work hand in hand with a dental hygienist observing, supporting, and caring for the patients need, whenever they need them. They work with tools, sit and stand long periods per day, and work in one of the dirtiest places on the human body, the mouth (Summary). Dental Assistants practice safety measures, just like any other doctor would, to assure the safety of themselves, along with the safety of their patients and organs that are being worked on from infectious diseases.
My ambition to study Dental Hygiene and Therapy at University commenced in my teenage years, when I first came to London and visited the dentist. The professional approach coupled with a kind and compassionate nature and all of the different instruments and scientific technology the Dental Hygienist and Therapist used fascinated me. I am currently studying Dental Nursing at Teesside University. This course involves providing correct support to the dentist at the chair side, reassuring and supporting patients, maintaining a gold standard clinical environment, charting, dental anatomy and physiology. Studying this course has enhanced my knowledge of dental terminology and procedures as well as the anatomy of the oral cavity.
A strong passion and a need for perfection drive me to settle for nothing less than my personal best in my areas of interest and their accompanying hobbies. In all honestly, however, while I have held the view of dentistry, specifically orthodontics, as my future profession for nearly as long as I can remember, the untamable internal fire that motivates in other pursuits of interest was, for the majority of that time, absent with respect to orthodontics. Growing up with a medical doctor for a mom, a bias for the field of medicine has always been a part of me. Early trips to my orthodontist however, altered that “destine” career path in a small sense, as his generosity and his obvious genuine enjoyment with his job, convinced me that perhaps
I believe my practical experience and what I’ve learned during my six years as a dental assistant at Plainview Oral sets me apart from other students. Not only for the dental skills that I have acquired, but also for the kindness and care that I have demonstrated, when working with patients in real life situations. Many patients have thanked me for my professional bedside manner both before, during, and after surgery. I also assisted patients with disabilities, and was able to exhibit a patient and positive attitude when working with them. Hands-on skills such as taking impressions, radiographs, and making night guards will help me thrive in dental school.
Climate change is the biggest global issue happening right now. It is the biggest issue because it is affecting our world and only getting worse. Many people think climate change and global warming are the same, but they are actually different. Global warming is the Earth’s rising surface temperature, and is the increase of the overall temperature in Earth 's atmosphere. Climate change is the whole picture, not just one part.
