Hey everyone, this is my first post and I just wanted to introduce myself. I am a sophomore in undergrad. I originally wanted to be pre-vet up until my Junior year of high school as I was a pretty socialphobic person, not a very nice one either, but had an interest in medicine, not saying that vets have the same problems I had.
Since I liked animals, but not people as much, that seemed right for me. But as time went on, my interest in animals faded away, however, I learned how to socialize in communicate with people better. I am now an outgoing person, and I am very comfortable meeting new people. I still had my interest in medicine, so I began to pursue a career as a physiciain, this is my senior year of high school btw. I shadowed a physician for about 4 weeks, and I liked it quite a bit, though, I felt liked I wanted to be more hands on though, which was one reason why I wanted to be a vet, because not only was I like the physician, but I was also the surgeon. I didn't want to go into surgery as the stress would not be very enjoyable for me and I didn't want anyone's life in my hands, so I thought dentistry might be the thing.
This is how it was up until now. I only shadowed a dentist for a day, and this semester, I worked at the dentistry department of a free clinic for only two days this semester. But starting next semester, I will be working at the clinic for 3 days a week for about 10 weeks. I think I'll have quite a bit of experience after few week and I'll know for sure if this is right for me.
So I just wanted to say hi to everyone and I'm happy to join the forum.
