My Dental Assistant program comes to an end the first week of February (The 21st if we count the final day as my last day). At the last minute I was able to find an internship an the Shining Stars Kids Dentistry. Its located in Belmar, which is a really nice area. The office is this little hole in the wall, and when you walk in it really comes to life. Dr. Lawrence Musajne (Or Dr. Lawrence) was born and raised in Uganda. He then went to Hong Kong where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery. He studied at CU and opened his practice in June. My experience (keep in mind it was just my first day of the 3 day internship.) awesome. I helped place a sealant and fill a couple cavities. I even held the hand of a 12 year old patient who was very afraid, and finally, with my help, relaxed enough to take a snooze while the doctor did her filling. I really can see myself being a dental assistant, and it took me until today to feel optimistic about my choice. when speaking with Dr. Lawrence about how difficult it was to find a place to do my internship he said " Angelena, we have I been in your shoes, in order to get where I am now. Sometimes, Doctors need to remember what it was like. At some point, we needed help too." He then handed me a pair of gloves and a mask. It was really cool that he had confidence in me from the very beginning. (:
In other news, I have been keeping up on my photography, and have made the decision to make another blogger blog specifically for my photography. It will still be linked with Heart on My Sleeve; Just photography specific. I have lots of things to post, now that I have the green light to share these amazing images.
It should be up in just a couple days so keep an eye out!!
I have been so blessed, and the next couple weeks are full of blessings. I love when faith is strengthened.
