Dental Assistant School

So a few of my fb friends are wondering how I even got started with Dental Assistant School. Anyway this is how it happened since the beging of the year I have been looking for work. I wanted to do something with childcare so I could bring Lilly with me and since I have so much experience working with children, but none of the places I went hired me. So I started praying about what I should do and I had a strong erge that I should do something in the dental field which is funny considering how bad my teeth are were.

Then about a week later I called my 3rd eldest sister and we were talking about jobs and how frustrated I was that I couldn't find anything and then I told her that I was thinking about becoming a dental hygenist but the classes took to long and I need to find something fast because I really need to get out of my in-laws house. Anyway my sister told me that her friend how is a dental assistant was going to be teaching a 10 week Saturday only class starting April 2, this was mid-March so I was thinking it was to late to get in but I did!

So far I'm doing pretty well I have made 93's on both tests so far, and aced my homework (eventhough they haven't taken it up). I really enjoy the lab section and all the "hands-on" training. Last week my group took x-rays the week before that we took molds of our teeth its a lot of fun. Its kinda funny I can't look at a person's mouth with out thinking in dental terms.

In lecture the second week I got told to "give the other students a chance to answer." But they didn't know the answer or didn't want to answer so I answered. I feel like the other students think I'm trying to show off, but really I'm just excited that I actually know the answer, I don't always feel smart so its a big self-esteem boost to know something.

Anyway I really love school and I'm so happy to be learning something new it is oddly so much fun, I mean really who would of thought I would enjoy sticking my fingers in other people's mouths?!
