30/9/2016 0 Comments What Dentistry Taught Me?Not because your parents are dentist will guarantee you that you'll be good in all aspect. As my mom always tell me, "you need to have a lot of courage once you decide to take this course". Taking up Dentistry is not only a matter of "brains". This is not just about hand skills, neither how you fully understood and memorized what you have read in your very own expensive books. Communication plays an important role if we want to see ourselves succeed in this chosen endeavor. I fully understand now why my mom keeps on telling me about her so called "courage". It's not just about facing all the trials once you're "in" in Dent school; but the "courage" to swallow your pride and have faith that you will able to finish this course until the end.
For others, "it is JUST dentistry...not law, not medicine"... For some, "my parents are both dentists, this is just a piece of a cake for me". You may also encounter other individuals who would say, "this is easy... this is already my second course"... But for me... this is NOT JUST Dentistry. And to inform you, if you're taking this course because you just want a stable job in the future,think a million times... Because Dentistry is not JUST about money, fame or fortune. It's about passion and part of that passion is a humility to learn something new without any complaints or contradictions. In the course of taking Dentistry, I have learned so many things. Part of that learning is to humble myself and be good to others, because being a dentist's daughter/son, being "bright" among the others or being a second courser will never, ever be a "passport", for someone to become best on this chosen field.
