4.     What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
What I have learned is that communication is the most important key into having a successful business and also a better connection with the patients. From seeing how the dentists and assistants got along with one another and they work so smoothly while making the patients feel at ease and talking to them as a friend. This makes the patients feel more comfortable and makes them want to get more advice from the dentists and assistants about anything they should do for their dental health.

5.     What is your senior project topic going to be?  How did what you did help you choose a topic?  Please explain.


My senior project is going to be on dental care. I wanted to understand more on how the dentists and assistants work and how can a dental business go smoothly. The dentists gain your trust by first getting to know you and what you have been doing that affects your overall health. That shows they care about you and will not treat you like another case. The dentists where I volunteer at will put the patients first than themselves. I like to be a part of that since I always put my family and friends first. That makes me feel like I'm a part of their group whenever I go and work with them.
