new path...

After much thought and talking with a friend, I have decided to finally bite the bullet and apply to the local community college to take classes this fall.
I have been talking about it for a couple years and just haven't taken any further steps.
Part of it was because I couldn't decide exactly what I wanted to do..so many options...there was Personal Trainer, Dietician, Nurse, and finally Dental Technician.

I can remember when I was very young and had this same dilemma....I came to the conclusion that I wanted to be a Nurse and drive semi's. LOL!! What a combination. :)

The fact is that I LOVE to learn. Yea, mom & Bev can stop laughing right now because I know I did not do too well in school in some subjects. That is just because those weren't the ones that interested me. :)
I would still love to go to school and become all of the above that I mentioned (well, except for the semi driver..haha). I have narrowed it down though and am looking into the Dental Technician. :)

This is a bit of an odd choice for me BUT - I have gotten over my fear of going to the dentist and now like all that. I thought, maybe I could help others with their fear by working in that field. Who knows, but still I am interested in it.

I can do the pre-req's for this program here in AZ where we live and then you have to transfer to another community college but we'll deal with that when the time comes. I have also looked into a distance learning school for this.

I'll update when I get it all set.

Happy Mother's Day Tina!!!
Glad to know your thinking about taking classes, are there demands for dental assisant in the yuma area? It does pay pretty good I think.Will you be able to get assistance with the cost. I don't know what you have to pay out there, here tech school is cheaper than college. Hope you can get this done. Have a great day.
Love Mom
