                              Student success statement
                   
Reflection:
This statement is very true and it has a strong meaning to it because it can paint any color of the situation. I think that your attitude describes what you really are because that you can’t fake it from no one. Some people might pretend they are someone else by their attitude but at the end of the day you will find out.


                                          Attitude

Definition:

 
A settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a person's behavior.

Synonyms:

 View, viewpoint, outlook, perspective, stance, standpoint, position, inclination, temper, orientation, approach, reaction.

My opinion:


 I think you need to have a bad attitude when its necessary because you need to have a hard attitude when it comes to being strict to someone for an example if you’re a manager of your company you need to be hard on them and be a nice person at the same time   
Periodontist
Duties and responsibilities:
  
A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and in the placement of dental implants. Periodontists are also experts in the treatment of oral inflammation. Periodontists receive extensive training in these areas, including three additional years of education beyond dental school. They are familiar with the latest techniques for diagnosing and treating periodontal disease, and are also trained in performing cosmetic periodontal procedures.

Salary: $245,538 a year

Education:

  Dental school takes four years to complete and includes classroom and laboratory instruction. You'll take mostly general and clinical science courses in the first two years, including anatomy, pathology, and patient care procedures. In the final years, you will gain practical, supervised experience in clinical settings. You'll help diagnose and treat patients while discovering various specialties, like periodontics and pediatric dentistry. Upon graduating, you'll earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Dental Medicine.

Reflection:

I wouldn't want to be a periodontist because I don’t find it very interesting even though it’s a good job.

Student Success Statement
“He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.”
A Proverb
Reflection:

Most people believe this and I agree with it because most likely if you have a bad influence you will end up doing what they do. In my opinion I think it’s up to each one of us to choose their path and choose whether they want to be winners of failures. People will always tell you to hang out with the best people and not to get involved with the not so great ones, I think it shouldn't really matter and that it will be best if you don’t hang around with the wrong crowd but it’s also not bad hanging out with the bad one because at the end of the day they won’t force you to do the things they do but you will choose what you will do because you might look really good but when your alone you make your own choices.
                                  Dental Technician

Duties and responsibilities:

   Dental technicians, also called dental laboratory technicians, manufacture dental prosthetics including bridges, crowns and dentures according to specifications dentists send to them. They work in specialties that include orthodontic appliances, crowns and bridges, complete dentures, partial dentures or ceramics. Dental technicians are also called dental laboratory technicians.

Salary: $36,090

Education:
  
 Although some community colleges and technical schools offer formal instructional programs, most people who want to work in this occupation receive only on-the-job training. In an entry level job one will learn how to do simple tasks like pouring plaster into an impression a dentist has made of a patient's teeth. As one progresses, he or she will learn how to make crowns and dentures.

Reflection:

 I think I wouldn’t want to be a dental technician because I don’t find it interesting.

You don’t always get what you wish for, but you will always get what you work for


Student Success Statement
“You can’t hire someone else to do your push-ups for you.”
Jim Rohn
Reflection:
 This statement is very true because the success you want can only succeed if you accomplish it, you can’t tell someone else to it for you or else it won’t be you success no more. People always told me the harder you work the more result you will see. They also told me that the lazy person always works double so might as well do things right the first time. For an example if you want to be a doctor might as well take all the years you need and don’t go to those programs that offer you a career in just 8 months.You also cant make other people study for you if you ant to become a doctor. Work hard for what you really like and there will be a good payback.
