HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN YOUR 1ST SEMESTER OF DENTAL HYGIENE SCHOOL

[@PrincePalmUwU]

indeed. I agree 100% and if you're worried about being too old no worries! you are never too late to go to college no matter the age. don't worry about the debt it's going to be paid.

[@hannahrhodes9692]

It’s interesting how different everyone’s experiences are. I just started the dental hygiene program a few months ago and am about halfway through my semester. So far I’m still able to work and maintain great grades. It’s not possible for me to not be able to work since I live on my own. So anyone reading this. You can do it. Even if you do have to work you can do it. If you want it you will make yourself.

[@hannahrhodes9692]

Also there are many second year students in the program that have been able to work the whole time. It’s not impossible.

[@gheslainegonzalez6286]

WOW! Thank you so much for this comment! I struggle with multiple sclerosis and work part time and until recently did I begin having a break down in this semester. I needed to read this! So THANK YOU!

[@ercdancer]

I needed to hear that. I start this summer and I work part time and I am a mom so I am worried how I will do this since I keep hearing people saying that they don’t have a life.

[@SamPrigge-n5f]

I am so happy I found your video! You are seriously speaking facts. Thank you for being so raw and honest about what is needed in order to succeed in the program. I am currently a first year and I feel like it's only been a month and I'm already so overwhelmed. Your video was encouraging though and I will definitely try some of the tips you suggested :)

[@getlucie1]

Thank you soooooo much for your words of wisdom and truth! I’m struggling right now, but you have encouraged me to PUSH!!!!!! When I complete this program, I am going to invite you to my freakin’ graduation!!!!👩🏽‍🎓🦷❤ Onward and Upward!

@Desirée, What school are you at? I’m registered for my prerequisites at Temple College in Temple, Texas.

[@katygoodwyn6051]

I’m halfway through my first semester and I’m here to say that you have to incorporate ALL OF THESE to be successful! Don’t forget to breathe!!!! SLEEP 7 hours a night AT LEAST!!!!! If you don’t sleep, the information won’t stick! Be confident in yourself, fake it till you make it baby!

[@karlatoledo2069]

That’s right sis!

[@Lovelyleyy]

I love how you say don’t work like many KZbinrs but don’t say how survive without working which means getting loans, saving, and scholarships. So when ppl said that I am like I’m confused what am I supposed to do? How am I paying rent, my car and insurance? I have been saving, i have fafsa and I will get additional aids through fafsa so I can get by. No kids and little family support. IT IS TIME CONSUMING and very little time to learn so I think that’s the most challenging part. Great video though😊 you’re funny. Im praying and hoping I succeed.

Im about to start week 3 of dental hygiene school. I had my first evaluation I was going for the 100% but I got a 98. I got ahead of myself and messed up. I would love to do open lab every chance I could but our school only encourages it if you feel you really need it. There’s limited spots and the freshman and sophomores are able to sign up. Please give me your best study tips ! I feel like I’m a visual learner so I am going to take the learning style quiz ! Thank you for this video. I really enjoy it. You had me laughing a few times 🤍✌🏻🦷

Hello, I recently changed my major to dental hygiene. I will start my prerequisites soon! I am stressed, but excited because I know once I start, it will be stressful. I watched some of your previous videos, and you mentioned that you're not good at science nor math. It was so refreshing to hear that because I, too, am not good at math and science. I am thinking of going to a dental assistant trade school to start some experience in the field and apply for a dental assistant job after graduating the program. You said to not work during dental hygiene school. Because of that, do you recommend working as a part time dental assistant while attending dental hygiene school?
