What is your most recent favorite activity?

I've always loved everything related to the arts. In fact, I had studied the arts (fine arts) and also education (my Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts Education) because those two areas were considered my strong suit. It's something I fought hard for, and to this day, those remain two of my interests. The only thing is that, for various reasons, I was never able to pursue my profession. However, although I couldn't find a job for what I had prepared for, one day I decided to offer to help my mother-in-law (who is a dentist) in her office. She had lost her assistant and needed someone to fill the position, so I accepted. That was the beginning of my fascination with dentistry.

At first, she taught me about all the tasks a Dental Assistant performs. I immediately felt a lot of interest because even though the areas I'd always handled weren't related to healthcare, they were related to service, and I was very good at that. Caring for doctors and patients is something I began to really enjoy. So, I took her recommendation to study the profession into account. And so, I spent some time between school and work, taking everything I could to meet the requirements. Today, being a Dental Assistant is something I truly enjoy and something I never expected to practice in my life. So, in one way or another, not having entered my profession made me discover a side of myself I didn't know about. I want to learn more about medicine, every corner of the profession. I'll soon be celebrating a year since I started this adventure. I love giving my best every day in the office, and it's truly satisfying to see every patient leave healthy and happy. I think that's worth a lot. Without further ado, thank you so much for stopping by. A big hug.

¿Cuál es su actividad favorita más reciente?

Siempre me ha gustado todo lo relacionado a las artes, de hecho, había estudiado sobre ello (Artes Plásticas) y también educación (mi Licenciatura en Educación en Artes Plásticas) porque consideraban que esas dos áreas eran mi fuerte. Es algo por lo cual luche bastante y hasta el momento, esos siguen siendo dos de mis intereses. Lo único es que, por varias razones, nunca pude ejercer la carrera. Sin embargo, aunque no pude dar con un puesto de trabajo para lo que yo me había preparado, un buen día decidí ofrecerme a ayudar a mi suegra (la cual es odontóloga) en su consultorio. Ella había quedado sin Asistente y necesitaba alguien para el puesto así que yo acepte. Ese fue el comienzo de mi encanto por la odontología.

Al principio ella me fue enseñando sobre todas las labores que un Asistente Dental realiza. Sentí de inmediato mucho interés porque aunque las áreas que yo siempre maneje no tuvieran que ver con la salud, si tenían que ver con el servicio y eso se me daba muy bien. Atender al doctor y a los pacientes es algo que comencé a disfrutar muchísimo. Así que tome en cuenta la recomendación de ella para estudiar la profesión. Y así fue cómo pase cierto tiempo entre el estudio y el trabajo, tomando todo lo que podía para poder cumplir con los requisitos. Hoy en día, ser Asistente Dental es algo que realmente disfruto y que nunca esperé que iba ejercer en mi vida. Así que de una forma u otra, no haber entrado en mi carrera me hizo descubrir una parte de mi que no conocía. Deseando aprender más sobre medicina, cada rincón de la profesión. Ya pronto cumpliré un año desde que inicie esta aventura. Me gusta dar lo mejor de mi cada día en el consultorio y es realmente satisfactorio ver a cada paciente salir sano y feliz. Creo que eso vale mucho. Sin más que decir, muchas gracias por pasar por aquí. Un fuerte abrazo.

Greetings 🤗 that's right, totally true. I was very surprised to see that sometimes stopping insisting on something and looking for other options, yes it can pay off. Sometimes you just have to let go. Thanks for the support.

I didn’t see that coming, from an artist to a dentist and soon a doctor. Amazing.
We learn something new about ourselves everyday. I had a switch like that too, I studied microbiology and now I sell Jewelries because I fell in love with them
