Dentistry

​I remember my childhood and the games I used to play with my playmates, and then I make a connection between the past and the future because I always used to be the doctor who treated the patients in the game. My curiosity in medicine started out in an early age and kept building up over time. However, some of my views and preferences have changed over time. I started considering other majors and careers such as, psychology, but until now, the medical field is my number one option, and dentistry is what I want to major in. I have always been interested in the process of examining patients, making diagnosis and coming up with a treatment plan. I also enjoy watching dentists working with their hands and being creative. Dentistry programs prepare students to learn features of dental treatment. They learn how to take care of teeth, tongue, gums, lips, and jaw by diagnosing and treating oral problems related to these parts. Dental school attendants also study the composition and structure of the oral cavity which includes teeth and jaws. Reading x-rays, filling cavities, and straightening teeth are also included in dentistry programs; however, dentistry is not only helping people feel better about their smile. Dentists are often the first healthcare professionals who recognize and identify diseases such as blood pressure and cancer. In order to be a dentist, dental students need at least a bachelor’s degree before entering dental schools and all dental schools necessitate applicants to complete required science classes. Majoring in a science class, most importantly biology increases the chance of acceptance, but there are no definite majors required to enter most dental schools. College undergraduates who plan to apply for a dental school have to take the Dental Acceptance Test (DAT) and students usually take the test during their junior year. Dental schools accept students based on DAT tests, grades, and recommendation letters. Students need to study four years of dental school in addition to the four years of undergrad to be considered as a general dentist. There are about fifty qualified dental schools in the United States. The first two years in dental program students will be devoted to classroom study and laboratory experiments. Dental Schools also require students to take courses such as local anesthesia, periodontology, radiology, and anatomy. Students are also required to work with patients in a clinical environment by the supervision of a licensed dentist. In order to become licensed, students must pass both written and clinical portions of the National Board Dental Examination after earning a dental degree from an accepted school. A dentists who is willing to practice as a specialist must have a license in that specific specialty which requires two to four years of further education after dental school. Furthermore, Dentists should have excellent communication, leadership and organizational skills; they should also be strong problem- solvers and comfortable performing physical tasks. Dentists spend many hours working with patients who are in need of special attention especially children; as a result, dentists require a lot of patience. Dentistry is a very critical career; a small mistake a dentist makes can ruin that dentist’s whole career. Negligence is not a choice in dentistry because patients do not accept any mistakes. Media always reports incidents about patients suing their dentists. However, what sort of actions lead patients to sue their own dentists?

Journal 8

Journal 8 I think everything that is related to the text can be considered. For example when you write about a movie; you can write about the budget of it, you can write how long it took to make the movie, where they made the movie, what year was it, how the movie is, or you can ask to some questions, such as; who is the director of the movie, who are the stars, when is the movie coming out, how much was it sold, what people think about this movie, or you can even write some of the reviews, or you can write what you think about this movie, did you like it? Why? Or if not, why not? You can even write a storyline about the movie, or you can even write about the writer of the movie, you can write about the stars like a biography of them and say how old they are, where they were born, how many movie they played in, or you write the same thing about the director of the movie and say how many movie he or she made, how old he is, where he was born, how he became a director. You can even write the name of the famous movies that they made or played in; you can even write how many awards they have, from where and when and for what movie. So I think everything that is related to the text can be considered and you can write about it. But you have to choose the best questions and answers that more specific about your text idea therefore you have a better text.

Jounal 7

Journal 7 I reviewed my assignment. I made sure that I understand the requirements. Then I select a broad subject area. I found an idea concerning that subject area that sparks my interest. I identify and read some background material. I used what I found to help focus my research on a specific topic. That’s how I choose my topic. I made a research question that I wish to answer. I used my research question to make a preliminary research strategy. I used my strategy to identify sources of information. I collect my sources and read them. I took notes. I wrote down the questions that my reading had brought into my mind, and I used the information that I have found to write my draft. As I work my way through this stage, I sometimes felt frustrated or overwhelmed. But I told myself this is normal, so I didn’t give up. Writing a research paper sounds easy but it’s not. I thought I can write it in less than two hours but I was wrong. It took more time, because I had to read some background material then use them to help focus my research on a specific topic. Then I had to make a research question that I wish to answer which was really hard, because I was looking for a good question but I couldn’t find it and I am still working on it. So I used my other questions to make a preliminary research strategy. All I know now is having sources and information about your topic, don’t make the writing an essay easier or faster. Because I had to use a good source and I had to make sure that I got my answers and all that takes time and make me frustrated and overwhelmed.

Journal Assignment 4

Actually I didn't have that much problem with writing my essay but after I read it again I realized that I just wrote my idea from one side of the argument and I didn't write anything about the other side. For me it still hard to write it down because I don't have enough information about the law. And I don't know their reason. Also I had a few comments that says the name of any victims in any crime should not be released to the public. I agree with that but if I say that when my topic is about the victims of rape trials, then I'm not writing about my topic and I loose the point. I think writing about all victims in any crime in an essay about victims in rape trials is wrong. Because when you have a specific topic, you have write about it and you have to be specific about it. For example when I'm writing about rape trials, I can not write about all the trials in general, because I have a specific topic. There was another comment that was talking about the Jury and trial system which is not my topic either and again I have to say that I think I don't had to write about the jury and trial system because if I write about it , it would be wrong because I'm writing about the names of the alleged victims that should not be released to the public in rape trials, and I have a specific topic.

the names of the alleged victims

In rape trials, the names of the alleged victims should not be released to the public. Unforchantly I know someone who has been raped. And i know because he did not want any body know that, he had to suffered a lot. He did not want people know because people can hurt you by their judgment, or their thoughts, or their words, or even by their kindness. He even didn't tell his own family because he didn't want them to suffer and he felt ashamed for what had happened to him. Even now after he went to the court and he press the charge, and he stood for him self, he is still nerves when he goes to family's gathering, because he thinks everybody knows what had happened to him. He says he can see it in their face, and the way that they look, and it bothers him because it reminds him of that sad memory, and it doesn't let him to forget about it. So by knowing this sad story, I have to say I agreed that In rape trials, the names of the alleged victims should not be released to the public. Because it makes them to be uncomfortable and they can not have a normal life like the other people. It is not easy to forget what had happened to them but they like to move on and let it go so they have to be comfortable and they don't have to be ashamed of what had happened to them. So trials have to give this to them by keeping their secret. And also I think trials have to keep their secret for other victims. Because if they think after court everybody going to know that, they are not going to stand for them self, because their feel ashamed and it hold them back. So In rape trials, the names of the alleged victims should not be released to the public. Because the victims want to move on and they like to feel like nothing had happened to them.

Journal 2

My first writing weak point is my vocabulary. I have a big issue by using the correct word or even find a right word to explain something, sometimes I don't know the different between some words Which have a same meaning. For example I know when I'm writing a formal letter, my words have to be different by those words that I use for texting. So I have to use a dictionary to find other meaning of that specific word, then I have to see which one is a correct word for me to use, depending to what kind of letter I'm writing. I know the best solution for this problem is to read more. I know I have to read any kind of magazines and books to see the different between all those words that have the same meaning or even it can help me to find a correct word for each different letter. My other problem is I don't know how to use my sources. For example if I have to write about an article which is new to me, I'm in trouble. First I have to read that article over and over to understand it and get the main idea, then I have to google the article to find the other articles and read them to understand the hole thing, and it takes forever. I could not find any different way better than this one yet.

Who am I?

My name is Hossein Taheri, and I am a new student in nova. I'm from Iran, 22 years old, studying biology and I want to transfer to George Mason university for my bachelor, so I need to take English 112, and my reasons for taking this class are, first it is match with my work schedule because i work full time and this is the best time for me to go to school after work. For example after I'm done with my work, I can go home, take shower , eat something and come to the class. And the second reason is because I read a good review about the professor that says he is a nice teacher, he doesn't have any accent,he's on time and he doesn't give you a hard time for no reason . And what I expect to get from this class is to become good writer for rest of my life so I won't have any problem with my writing in the future. My short term goal in education is to have a graduate degree in biology from nova. my long term goal is to transfer that to George mason university, And after that transfer it to dental school, because I want to become a dentist and open my own practice. What I think I'm really good at it is socializing with people. I have two reasons for that. First I have a lot of friends from all around the world, I hang out with them, we tell each other how was our day, we talk about our family, we tell each other our problems, we almost talk about everything. My second reason is I almost always have a good relationship with strangers. For example I work at a dental office, and everyday I see more than twenty persons and some of them are strangers, it's a first time we met and they are happy with me, because when they come back for their next appointment, they ask for me if i am not there,they are talking to me like we were friends for so long, they want to know how I am doing, sometimes when they come after awhile, they say that they missed me. Those are my reasons why I think I'm really good at socializing.
