I plan to be a dentist; however, I am not decided on what kind of dentistry I want to pursue. I have a particular interest in general dentistry, and oral and maxillofacial dentistry. The latter would require me to pursue a 4-6 year surgical residency after dental school, and it is recommended to attain a dual degree in medicine and dentistry to perfect and refine one's oral surgical skills.

I plan to attend dental school after earning my undergraduate degree, and pursuing higher education in the field of dentistry. However, I plan on applying to both medical and dental school out of college, since my current interest would require a dual degree to have the greatest level of competency in my intended field of work.

My favorite hobby of all includes challenging myself to learn new skills, and I am currently working on improving my abilities in tennis and roller skating. I thoroughly enjoy fitness, as I am currently a part of the tennis, and track and field teams at my high school. A recent hobby I have picked up includes interviewing and journaling about people's perspectives on human topics including love, youth, and other social topics. Lastly, I love to read classical literature and crochet. I have even made some of my own clothing!
