Being a dentist seems what I always dreamed about. It was my choice in all ways until my family called me “our little dentist”. This passion became bigger as I got older. My interest in orthodontics stemmed from personal experience. Began as a patient and then solidified into a career choice. The positive outcome of this aroused interest in me towards the specialty of Orthodontics so as to be able to give smiling faces and feelings to the people around me to the same degree as I felt post-orthodontic treatment. The ability to help people is the most appealing aspect though, and becoming a dentist would provide me with tremendous job satisfaction. Other interests of mine include leadership and community service as they have been gratifying opportunities to help others. Thus, dental school seemed to be the logical next step. Orthodontics drew me into its discipline with open arms, and fit my interests and goals precisely.
Ever since primary school, my path has been bestrewn with commendations, a pace I have maintained throughout my educational years. I used to be a hard worker; My dedication is evident from my record of accomplishment, and discipline. In looking back, I learned the FDI tooth numbering system by fifteen years old, while My friend and I were reading her father, a Pedodontist, dental books. I knew that any Dental professional holds a trusted role in the community. To this end, I have been actively involved in community service and leadership organizations, a sense of responsibility I have had since I was a teen. I am no stranger to research work, either, and have seen the applications of research to control or heal disease while contributing to clinical and academic work. After completing college and finishing the internship year I trained in the orthodontic field at a private institution. I was trained in the basics of orthodontic practical skills by the dean of our college and other doctors. Much more than this, though, I witnessed the level of gratification that drips from patients’ eyes post-treatment, which is simply beyond description. I became enthralled with the specialty and felt compelled to learn more. Thus, I sought out and took part in other orthodontic-related activities; I participated in organizing events, lectures, and workshops. For example, I was a member of that big event about 'Orthodontic, more than a smile', a speaker of the lecture and hands-on workshop “Basics of clinical Orthodontics”, and I was involved in the Orthodontic Residency program as an organizer, observer, and listener.
