1) A list of my successes I have created in life. My most recent success is enrolling into college because I thought I would never make it to college. Graduating from high school also passing the Oaks reading and math test to be able to graduate. Getting my drivers permit to drive, and learning how to drive. Being elected for student council three years in a roll in middle school gave me the chance to open up.
2) My personal list of skills and talents. I always have a positive attitude and always bring the positive things in negative situations. Good communication skills I'm always there to listen. I'm a very social person and I'm good at meeting new people at social gatherings. I am the best at planning gatherings, birthday parties or small trips. I'm always very creative in decorating, fashion, arts and crafts.
3) Being completely afraid of heights I walked up the Astoria lighthouse column. It was really pretty when I made it to the top, so the facing the fear was worth it. Entering college really put out of comfort zone being so used to high school. The first day was hard but as the days past it has become a lot easier, and I'm glad that I am continuing knowing that it will bring me great success.
4) At this moment I feel when ever I talk to someone about what I want to do in the future, they always tell me the negative and that its going to be difficult instead of giving me positive feed back. I want to become a dental hygienist and I know that it is going to be a lot of work, but with people not supporting me its going to be even harder. So many people say that maybe I should just be a dental assistant its a lot easier. So I have been resisting to continue on my dream thinking that I wont be able to achieve in what I want because its going to be to hard.
5) As I'm sitting at work wearing my blues scrubs thinking about how fair I have come to be in position that I am in today. I cant be anything else but be happy for myself in achieving what I have always wanted. I can smell and taste the mouth wash in the air as I hear the doctor ask for some assistance with the teeth cleaning. The feel of a patient tooth bush against my finger gives me a jolt of success.Seeing a child's face after a teeth cleaning when they get to choose their prize out of the gift box, I know that I have succeed in my career dream.
You have done really great work this term. Don't listen to anyone who tries to get in the way of your dreams - they are either jealous or scared you'll leave them in the dust. :) Make an appointment with an Academic Adviser in the Student Services area and they can help you plan out all the classes you need to take between now and when you apply for the Dental Hygiene program! You also need some work experience or job shadowing for your application, so plan ahead. If you haven't seen the application packet already, you can find the one for next year's program at www.mhcc.edu/LRadmissions
