Big life changes.
14 years ago
So on Thursday, I received the news that I was being dismissed from dental hygiene school because, since two of the patients I was counting on for processes did not show up to the clinic for their final appointments, I did not meet clinic requirements.
And, really, I'm okay with that. I hated the repetitive, tedious clinical work and the stress it was putting on my back and wrists. I loved interacting with patients and was told several times that I had a wonderful chairside demeanor, but the work itself was... soul-crushing.
So for the first time in my life, I find myself going into a semester without taking any classes. I'll see if I can find a job, work on my mental and physical shortcomings, see what I'd like to do with my life. Mom's all right with it, but she had this to say when I broke the news to her: "I'd just really like to see you put yourself first for once."
And that's what I intend to do.
Happy holidays, everyone.

I think your mom's completely right, especially when it comes to a career. You want to be doing something that you enjoy, and will enjoy doing, not something where you're stressed out all the time and your health is deteriorating from it! Take the semester off, pull yourself together, try applying for a slew of different jobs. Maybe something will strike your fancy!
I wish you all the best; I'm just glad to hear you're all right and taking a breather :)
well if your happy with getting out of doing that then it cant be all bad right?
and i hadve to agree with your mom XD
you should do somthing for yourself now ^^
like a vacation or spa or somthing like that lol ^^
i think you deserve it X3
In lighter note of things though, at the same time, I agree with your mum, and hope you treat yourself to something nice, and do something for yourself. You worked hard, you deserve a break. I wish you the best of luck on your findings and hope you're able to land a good job.
I hope you have a good Christmas and a lovely New Years. :)
