High School
Life & Career Milestones
My path in life has been direct
1.
I knew I wanted to be a dental hygienist since I was in the 8th grade. Classes were tough to get there and I applied twice before I got in the program but I didn't give up.
2.
Financial was always tough. I had to get student loans for school and pay them back myself. I knew I had to succeed and have a good paying job to pay these loans off.
3.
I had to work many hours on top of going to school to help pay for expenses. Sometimes it was a challenge to work and keep up with school work.
