Education: To become a dental assistant you need to receive your formal education though academic programs. It takes about nine to eleven months to complete academic dental assistant programs but there are some schools that offer accelerated training.

Reflection: I think I would like to be a dental assistant because it’s a job I can study for in a short period of time after high school. After high school or before I can take a college class and already have a job by the time I get out of high school. Also, the pay is okay for a dental assistant.

Student Success Statement 

"It may make a difference to all eternity whether we do right or wrong today." 

James Freeman Clark 

Reflection: I think that this quote is true. This quote is trying to say that all we do now whether it is good or bad/ right or wrong will affect how our lives turn out. For example, if we get good grades, do our best and we are obedient then we will have a good future ahead of us. But if we do drugs, don't care about school, and we are not obedient, then there is a possibility that we are going to lead a bad life such as getting into gangs or even having run-ins with the law enforcement. 

Dental Lab Technician

Dental Lab Technician

Duties and Responsibilities: They work with molds and impressions of patients to make crowns, bridges, dentures, and other dental appliances. They work with dentists, but don’t really see patients. They work with small tools like files and polishers to create these dental appliances. They can also specialize in different areas such as: orthodontic appliances, crowns and bridges, complete dentures, partial dentures, implants, or ceramics. Each technician has its own title depending on what they specialize in.  

Salary: The average annual salary for a dental is $28,496.

Education: A way to be a dental lab technician is finalizing one of the two-year or four-year degrees in dental technology that is offered in educational programs. Another way is to become a trainee in a large dental laboratory.

Reflection: I wouldn't like to be one because I don’t want a career in medicine so I don’t think it’s right for me. Also its working with molds and appliances for a person’s teeth and I don’t want to do that.  

Veterans Day

Veterans Day 

Veterans Day will be celebrated by the majority of the nation this year on Tuesday, November 11. This day honors those who have served in the U.S military forces.  It was evolved into the current Veterans Day holiday in 1954. Veterans Day is not the same as Memorial Day. Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S military veterans while Memorial Day is a day of remembering all those men and women who have died while serving. It also is in accord with other holidays such as Armistice Day and Resemblance Day, which are celebrated in different countries. I never met someone who’s parent or sibling is a veteran. Since I am a Jehovah Witness we sat neutral in all the wars that happened back then and now. I glad I don’t know anybody with a parent overseas or my parent overseas because it’s sad to know that they might not come back or that they are not taking care of the family. Kids want their parents and their time not their money. Family should be a priority than going to serve your country

Student Success Statement 

"Doing what is right, fair and honorable is more important than winning or loosing." 

Chick Moorman 

Reflection: The quote is very true because yes, it does matter if we win or lose, but if you win in a not right, unfair, and dishonorable way, what good does that do? It means we didn't do what is right. I think that it's better to do the right thing than win or lose, because when you win or lose you know you did it fairly and honorably.

Student Success Statement Proverbs 13:20

      Student Success Statement 

"He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed."

Proverbs 13:20 

Reflection: What the Proverbs are trying to say is that if we hang out or associate ourselves with peers or other people that are trying to do well at school and graduate we will become wise. But if we associate ourselves with people that smoke, do drugs, don't want to learn, then we will become like them and be fools.
