Why did you become a dentist?
I decided to become a dentist because of my cousin. When I first graduated from high school, I didn’t know what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. A few careers crossed my mind, but they did not feel right. My cousin told me to go to work with her and meet the dentist she worked for. After meeting the doctor and the staff, I saw something amazing — something more than just a group of people working. I saw a family, and this family was not just caring for themselves but also caring for others. I wanted to be a part of something amazing as well, so I pursued a career in dentistry.
