To all my new friends and old friends here on SDN,
I would like to explain why I have done what I did, in posting all the part 2 material. First let me say I know what it is like to go to another country and do dentistry . As an American I made a conscious decision to better my life and go to dental school abroad. I know what it is like to struggle in a different culture and a different language. I know what it is like to have to learn adapt and study in a different language, all to better my life from where I was and where I was going, for my family and my future. My struggle is your struggle . I am no genius ,but I have it in my heart to help others the best way I know how and that is through dentistry. Whether it be through practicing dentistry or helping others through their down time while trying to surpass the hurdles and obstacles set forth by the American system. I do not have great scores , but I worked as hard as I could and put forth a valiant effort to get the scores I did . I am proud of the fact that I past one part of an exam that determines the academic credential that are set forth by the American dental academic system that validates their own dentists. My goal is your goal , that is to pass all the standards , part 1 , part 2 and which ever program that will accept me. I have made it my personal mission to better the lives of those FTDs like myself who have a passion to practice dentistry here in America for the right reasons and that is to provide better oral health care to all those who need it, I did not learn dentistry in a country that was conscious of cosmetic dentistry but a third world country where dental needs were true and life changing. This is why I am the way I am , and have continued on my journey , remaining positive even in the worst of times. I know a lot of you struggle and it is not because you do not have what it takes to become a great dentists; most of us have proven that by completing a whole career in dentistry in another country. We just want to better the lives of those who need our service and our families as well as our selves , here is your motivation , it lies in this , don't stop, keep going , stay in dentistry until you get in . Dental assist , do a fellowship , hygienist , do whatever it takes you will find yourself one day looking back and know that what you went through happened for a reason, and more then likely it made you the best dentist that you have become. My God , who is Jesus has taught me these things and that if I have faith in him I will succeed in all things, no matter what wilderness I go through , we all need to go through what we go through to become what we will be and that is great dentists; who are here to help others not for personal gain but personal satisfaction. I prey for all of you each and every day because I know your struggles ,so have faith and keep going forward and if I can help in any way I shall , because My God helps me each and every day . It is the least I can do to show him that I am grateful and humble. Good luck to all of you and God bless.
