¶ … life I have been a go-getter. I graduated from high school at 16 because I was eager to begin my college education. Currently I am working on dual Bachelor degrees. One will be in Biochemistry and the other will be in Psychology. The same personality trait that has allowed me to graduate from high school early, pursue a dual degree program and many other accomplishments, is what will turn me into a service orientated and dedicated dentist.
One of the things I have pursued as a University of California, San Diego student, is my membership in the campus "For Los Angelitos" club. One of the things we did as a club was to travel to poverty stricken areas and provide lessons about oral hygiene. Equipped with small bags filled with oral care products, we traveled to Tijuana, Mexico where we provided oral care education to the children of the area. Using oversized cardboard teeth and toothbrushes we demonstrated the proper way to brush as well as floss. The children were eager to learn and willing to practice the skills that we taught them. It was then, that I knew, my life's calling was going to be in the field of dentistry.
In addition to this trip, I have spent time giving back to the community with other activities as well. Some of them include serving as a Valencia Library Reading Mentor, and as a teaching assistance for Molecular Biology classes at UC, San Diego.
I know that research is a driving force behind the field of dentistry. I have been involved in several strong research projects and have contributed to them with knowledge and research skills...
The same drive that allowed graduating from high school early and pursuing dual degrees provided a strong foundation for my contribution to the research projects.
My contributions to research include:
Alfred E. Mann Foundation, Valencia, CA., December 01 - July 01.
Design and implementation of the BION. The BION is an injectable RF powered single-channel ceramic-cased implantable stimulator that can be implanted via a novel trocar-based implant tool or via surgical opening, near a nerve or into a muscle.

Assist in the design, fabrication, and calibration of laboratory and field instruments, oceanographic research devices, and engineering projects which utilize the Laboratory's unique suite of facilities. Projects include ocean atmosphere testing, wind channels, wave basins, and many other oceanographic devices that are needed by the government and private institutions.
Manual dexterity ability is extremely important in the field of dentistry and I have above average skills in this area as well. My rock climbing experiences have provided the opportunity to develop and strengthen these skills beyond the average person. Rock climbing requires an intense concentration and focus as well as the ability to problem solve on both an intellectual level and a physical level.
A also spent time performing machine assembly to assist in the design,…
Life in a Bag Speech Calculator (Future) The calculator represent what I want to do with the future- as an accounting major, I do eventually want to become an accountant for a prestigious firm in a big city somewhere. The calculator most definitely symbolizes to me, what I want for my future a good job in a field that I am good at. My vision for the future obviously includes having a
leader admire. Your selected leader a real-Life individual a fictional character television, The style of leadership that best describes me is known as the dominance style. I focus really intently on goals that I seek to accomplish, and I largely work at them until they are accomplished in as little time as possible. As such, I actually prefer to be the one who is in charge of making decisions and
This is again an illustration of how awareness of types and subtypes can prove useful. Steady types are introverts who seek stability and show intense organizational loyalty. They are the backbone of many work teams and workplaces, enforcing rules and mutual respect through a good personal example. However, this can put them at odds with the more daring dominant types, although steady types like to follow a leader. Some steady
In "Piaf," Pam Gems provides a view into the life of the great French singer and arguably the greatest singer of her generation -- Edith Piaf. (Fildier and Primack, 1981), the slices that the playwright provides, more than adequately trace her life. Edith was born a waif on the streets of Paris (literally under a lamp-post). Abandoned by her parents -- a drunken street singer for a mother and a
For example, if he was British I might try to respect his reserve, and try to curtail some of my stereotypically American gestures or bluntness towards him. I might also make some references to his culture that I found interesting. However, if Hodge came from a more highly emotive culture, I might still express my interest in aspects of his native land, but I might try to be more,
Introduction When I write an essay about myself, I want to focus on a specific point or theme. Let�s be honest, our lives are so full and so many events have shaped us that we could write forever and still not exhaust the topic. But a personal essay should be brief and on point. That�s why the best way to compose a short essay about myself is to
