Chemistry and Biology are significant attributes that one must master to become a dentist. I love to interact with children and help others feel better. I enjoy learning new things and meeting new people. The person that inspired me to pursue a career in dentistry was my mom's best friend who owns her own dental clinic.]]> 2018-08-30 11:44:52 UTC https://padlet.com/200345527/c78uxxx6qo3k/wish/276536957 Education: 200345527 https://padlet.com/200345527/c78uxxx6qo3k/wish/276537909
