So, maybe I am being too critical but there has been some things that I have been frustrated with this first semester of mine in the wide world of oral health. Overall my classes were good and teachers have been very cometitive although I may not always love they way some teach or present the material. I am not sure if I am meeting the standard I set up for myself now that the semester is almost over. Grades will definately represent my learning or at least I hope so! There has been a few surprises once i nthe program and some have been pleasant and some not. I am not sure I feel comfortable with scaling with my instruments although I feel comfortable with ultrasonics (much easier and cleans much better). I am hoping I can get much more practice next semester and get the real instrumentation scaling. I must confess though that I am jealous in a good way of our instructors. It wasn't that long ago that they have graduated from the program and they seem to know it all and have answers for all of our questions. My goodness! I can't wait until that day come to me because ...yes, teaching is one of my passions and why not teach Dental Hygiene in addition to Spanish and ESL? I don't see why not although I just feel like I know nothing compared to our instructors.
In conlucion, reality has hit me over and over this semester. That was a good thing, and much learning has taken place in my brains!
With this posting I adjourn my 1st semester reflection blogging. More to come Next year!
