SEMESTER REFLECTION

I was just wrapping up this nice and long weekend when I realized that not much longer is left in the semester. Also, as I gathered my thoughts, I thought about how much more I know than simply brushing my teeth, or know how to flosh...it is the knowledge behind the curtains that will let me treat a patient in the future that makes me feel more and more confident about my new profession. I also gave some thought about keeping in touch with my teaching degree. I think it would be a good combo for a while to be able to teach Dental Hygiene as well as practice Dental Hygiene. Also, I like the idea of getting my master's degree in the future to teach at a college level and enrich that way my proffession even more. I am not sure what the time line in these goals are but, I am confident this is going to be a good education plan for me and my family (as it will reflect on them and their quality of life).
Overall, I feel like even thought it's been more of a surviving experience things are coming along in general and I am able to grasp most of the concepts presented in our differnet classes. The key? for me it would be keeping myself organized nad having all my materials ready before class. Is it easy? It depends on the teacher although overall is very possible. Am I going to make it okay to the end of this first semester? Probably yes. There you go! More to come this week!
