Personal Statement: My Interest In Dental Careers
what are your interests?

I have been interested in the medical field, specifically the dental fields after a career day in 5th grade. My friend's mom who was a hygienist brought a plush alligator with plastic teeth. Currently, my plan for the future is to graduate college with an associates degree along with my high school diploma. After completing high school, I plan to go back to college to further my education since I already have two years out of the way.

MASH Camp is an interactive way to learn about dental careers and I am willing to jump at every opportunity that involves me learning more about what I aspire to be, expanding my knowledge even wider than before. I am extremely devoted to my career of choice and have been for countless

    After Graduate School, I hope to have my PhD in psychology or my doctorate in psychiatry. I would like to start out working in jails, talking to criminals and analyzing their brains versus the brain of an average adult to study how the brain reacts with criminal activity and why they do and feel what they do. I have heard that a person can not do that type of work for very long because it is emotionally tasking so after that, I would like to open my own counseling practice up.

    One of the biggest challenges I have faced was moving to America from Pakistan. The transition was difficult; I left childhood memories, family, and close friends behind. However, this portion of my life had a strong influence on the impact I want to have on impoverished populations. Seeing a dentist in Pakistan is a privilege that most of the families couldn’t afford. In those 17 years, it was rare for my family and I to have our teeth professionally cleaned or have a regular dental checkup. Dental insurance did not exist, and everything had to be, and still is, paid for in advance prior to seeing the dentist. Consequently, the majority of the Pakistani population have unsanitary dental hygiene. This sparked my interest in pursuing dentistry as a profession where I can help provide dental care to underserved…
