So as little kid I grew up with many of the dreams as the other little kids. I first wanted to be a hairstylist. I have a younger sister and i would always watch my aunt as she did her hair in the different and unique styles. I would then try to emulate that on my Barbie dolls. I was successful at times but most times I wasn’t because they had such small heads and I didn’t have that much room to work with. I then tried the hairstyles on actual people; they turned out so much better. I truly had a passion for it. About in the fifth grade I changed my mind of what I wanted to be to an archeologist. I thought it would be so cool to travel the world and look at ancient artifacts I’ve always loved history and finding cool dates on things so I thought that was what I wanted to do. Little did I know, there weren’t many schools offering a degree in anthropology lol. Then in the sixth grade I would receive braces to correct my over bite, little did I know this would spark an interest that i would carry on the middle school then high school. I was very intrigued by how just simple to can change your smile drastically. I would talk to the orthodontist about the different tools he would use and what they were used for. i would go in for a tightening appointment every month for 2 1/2 years until the braces finally came off. Even though I stopped going to the orthodontics office that urged still remained and now that I’m in college I am on my way to going into dental hygiene a branch of dentistry and I’m so excited that i found something I truly have a passion for and am sticking with it.

I used to try to be a hair stylist to my Barbie dolls...they never looked as good as my intentions were! Hahaa
ReplyDeleteHey Jerica!! I was so excited to read this post, because I am majoring in Dental Hygiene as well!! This is awesome! I also think it is funny that you wanted to be a hairstylist, because I always thought about that as well! My mom went to the Ohio State Beauty Academy in Lima after high school and got a degree for cosmetology. She proceeded to get a job at a salon and I always thought I would follow in her footsteps and get a job as a hairstylist. I would do my barbie's hair as well, but it never really looked good. My mom let me practice on her hair when I was young, and now that I am older, she has let me cut her hair and color it as well. I usually do a good job, so she always told me I needed to go into that field. As i got older, she told me that it was a bad field because of the bad hours and the low pay. I decided I didn't want to go through that, and it wasn't worth it to me, so I decided to pick something different. I love teeth, and I love helping others, so I knew dental hygiene would be a great choice for me! I am worried about the waiting list, because I am going to have to wait a long time to get into the program, but I know that when it is all said and done, it will definitely be worth it!
