The Adventures of Dental Hygiene

Intro: Throughout high school, I've always tried to figure out what I wanted to do outside of high

school. However, I have changed my mind about what career I want to do once I am out.

Nevertheless, I have always wanted to be successful in everything I do. In addition, I always

want to help people and be happy while I help. The only issue is when I think I know what I

want to do, I overthink and wonder if I would be good at it. But I know what I want to do in the

future ever since I have talked to many different people and discussed the pros and cons.

BIO: My name is Allyson Beasley. I'm a 17-year-old senior at Lee High School. I was born on

April 5th, 2005 in Grand Rapids Michigan. I love to travel all around the world. I love being

with all my friends and family but at the same time, I love to be alone in my room watching

movies. There are some obstacles I still have to overcome which are perfectionism, self-doubt,

and fear of failing. I am always beyond scared of any of these during classes mostly. I have three

older siblings whose names are Chris, Alex, and Mikey. They all love to annoy me while I am

doing schoolwork or playing games on my XBOX, but I choose to be close to them. Among all

my siblings I am the only one going to college next year and will be the first to graduate. My

parents Glenn and Angela are all very supportive of my goals and how I plan to live my life.

They are always checking on me with school and cheer.

Future Goals: My future goals have been stuck with me all through my senior year because I

have seen so many people have diseases in their mouths. The outcome can be different for each

patient but a lot of them require for them to get teeth implants which is a long painful process.

“Demand for dental services is expected to increase as the large baby-boom population ages and

as people keep more of their original teeth than in previous generations” (“Dental Hygienists”). I

want to be able to help people out and make sure they don't have to deal with the pain anymore.

When I graduate high school, I plan to study dental at Ferris State University in August. My next

goal would be to get a job as a dentist and go back to college at the same time. I would return to

college for my master's degree in business. I want to get my master's in business so I can open

my own dental office and help people who don't have good insurance.

Route: I will head to Ferris State University this August to reach my goals. I plan to enter the

Biomedical program and volunteer at Robinson Dental to support my future career. When my

dream of becoming a dentist is complete, I will help as many people as possible by “Being part

of and contributing to our community” (“Robinson Dental”). I want to stay around the

Grandville area, and I will make sure that I am financing correctly with the help of my parents.

One thing I do strive for is for my family to enjoy their lives since they have always been there

for me. I know that life can be crazy sometimes and throw everything at you all at once, but I am

willing to be more open-minded and change my plans.

Conclusion: These last 13 years of my life have been great, but there will always be better years,

and I know those are coming. I learned from some people what it was like to have an amazing

friendship. I learned from my family who would be and wouldn't be there. I loved all my science

classes so much that they helped me decide to become a dentist. The teachers like Jody, Foote,

and McKanna have been in my life for a while and have taken time out of their day when they

could be helping other students to help me out. That made me so much stronger and made me

feel like I made them proud. Finally, I wish I could repay my parents for all the times they

supported me and helped me through everything. I plan on going to Ferris State University to

finish college for them to make them proud. I know that life isn't easy, but I will take it one step

at a time and focus on myself.
