My dream is to become the first dentist in my family. I have been a dental assistant for the past seven years, and it's such a rewarding feeling of making a difference in someone's life. That's when I knew I had to continue my education and provide more for the community, specifically the Latino community. Seeing people in my community with poor dental health due to limited access to resources to treat their concerns is sad, and I know if I continue with school to become a dentist, I can make a difference.
