Hello,

I recently broke my ankle and going on my 6th week of the healing process, hopefully it heals very well. I'm interested in dental assisting because I'm ready to be on the other side and busy.

My name is Joanna Nguyen. I am 24 years old. I moved to Wichita, KS last year in August, it's been a year since I lived here and I still don't know my way around, I use my GPS everywhere I go, lol. I am originally from New Orleans, Louisiana. My family still lives in Louisiana and I was the only one that moved out of states (at times I do get homesick.. but I did it because i wanted to focus on my goals.) Reason why I find dental assisting interesting because I've always been insecure about my teeth until I got braces (finally) and it definitely change the way I smile and I think that having good oral health is extremely important so I want to help others. After I become a dental assistant I want to become a dental hygienist eventually in the near future. It took me some time to realize what I really wanted to do. But I'm glad I made it this far. #CheersToOurFuture

Hello world of DAS ,
My name is Arely (Uh-Ray-Lee) Sustaita (less important). I'm two months short of 21. Yes, I could have said 20 but c'mon 21! My favorite things in the world are my family, my boyfriend and dinosaur documentaries. I had braces in high school and as much as I hated the assistants for tightening those wires, the end result of the torture is what sparked my interest in dental assisting. Maybe after the program I could work for my old orthodontist
