BACKGROUND
I belong to a family of ten members, Including me, my father and mother, and my brothers and sisters. We belong to the sambaa culture. My parents are peasant farmer.s My education background includes my O level secondary school performance, which encouraged me to study dentistry .
MY CHOICE OF STUDIES
I chose dentistry because it's something I enjoy and it fits in perfectly with my career goals. This is because I want to educate the general public on the importance of oral health and disease prevention. I get the chance to interact with people of all ages, cultures and personalities. And due to the interaction with different people, I can build new ideas and a positive attitude. My dream job is to be a dentist. The profession comes with the prevention and treatment of oral diseases, including disease of the teeth, as well as supporting structures and diseases of the soft parts of the mouth. The things that inspired me the most to become a dentist, is that I get to save people suffering from oral diseases in my community, and also educate them about oral hygiene.
INTERESTS
I like to go for a long walk or even a jog. Doing these two things, really helps me gather my thoughts as well as keeping healthy, which helps me to be active in my studies.
