My Career Path
Dental Hygienist
She was a young high school graduate with a four month old daughter who had no financial or emotional support from the baby’s father, depending on her parents to support both her and the baby feeling hopeless, thinking that life was going down the drain for her. Every day she would look into her beautiful daughter’s eyes and cry because she knew that her daughter deserves the best, and that is what she couldn’t give her. She searched deep within herself and found the courage and motivation to achieve greatness.

Not only did she realize that she wanted to attend college but she had to work to take care of her baby and help with her tuition. She filled out an application for school and typed up multiple resumes. After six months of feeling hopeless, in January 2010 she was enrolled at the college of the Bahamas and got a job as a dental assistant. Taking her baby to school in the mornings, headed to work, and schooling at night became her daily schedule. After a year of working and schooling, it was then that she realized that she no longer wanted to become a teacher, but she had grown a passion for dentistry. Working in a people oriented atmosphere and having a flexible schedule made her feel complete. This young lady is me and this is why I want to become a certified dental hygienist.

Many people have a phobia for dental office; I have witnessed both children and adults who are afraid of dentist. For example, we had a patient who came for dental treatment on three different days was
