Post 6: How Can Your Major Make the World a Better Place


 In a previous post, I told you that I am a dental student. I think the world lacks information about how important dentists are and how important healthy teeth are to our life and health. 

Dentistry can make the world a better place because having optimal oral health helps us to have a higher quality of life, as diseases such as periodontitis, gingivitis and even some types of cancers can be avoided. Therefore, it is essential that people can have quality access to oral health. 

Dentistry is involved in various social and scientific fields, and its contributions help professionals to improve dental treatment techniques or the detection of oral diseases, thus benefiting the world's population. For me, it is a very special career that can make a person with healthy teeth feel dignified, self-confident and able to smile without embarrassment with friends. 

In the future, I see myself working in research areas, as I want to contribute to the world with new knowledge both to treat diseases and to investigate the reasons why there are countries with little access to oral health and help them with humanitarian missions, thus contributing to improve people's quality of life.

    I think you are very right Sinndy, there is too much information missing. I feel like people don't consider the true importance of dentistry.

    Hi Sinndy! I find it admirable that you want to work in research, this world really lacks a lot of information about how important oral health is.

Post 5: a Photograph and its Story

Imagen
  It was very difficult for me to choose a photo. All the photos I have are special, but this one in particular gives me a lot of peace and brings back very good memories. I took the photo during my fourth-grade trip in December 2018. We were hiking in Vicente Perez Rosales National Park and came across this beautiful postcard. I immediately pulled out my phone and took this photo. At that moment I was with my friends from school, and as you will understand, the moment of the hike allowed us to talk about many things, life, the future, going to college, among other topics. It was a very special day. Actually, this is one of the photos that help me remember the beautiful moments I lived during that trip. I am good at taking pictures. I have many photos saved in folders from different "times" of my life. Most of the photos are of landscapes because I love nature, its colors, the shades of the sky and the earth, among other elements. I'll be very honest, right now I woul

Post 3: My Favourite Piece of Technology

  My favorite technological device is my laptop. Although I have other tech devices at home, I'm sure I couldn't live without my laptop. I love this piece of technology because I can take it anywhere, so it's always with me. Furthermore, my laptop is my second brain, here I have thousands of memories like photos, videos and my first papers from college (When I review them, I always say, I can't believe I wrote like that 😂).  I had my first laptop when I was 10 years old and from then until now I have changed my laptop several times, but only to renew it (I take great care of them). I really use it every day and not only for studying. On my laptop I watch series, movies, write life diaries, listen to my favorite music, among other things. I think my life without my laptop would be very difficult since I organize my days, weeks, and months on it. If I didn't have it, where would I keep so much information? Hmm I really don't know. Sometimes I annoy my mom by tell
