Dentist Wannabe
Posted by Ling on March 1, 2004
Studying to be a dentist is really difficult.
First of all, you need to get the all important grades to apply for university – I got 5 A’s in my Scottish Highers. (yes, I am boasting here)
I used to play truant a lot when I was at school, but I still passed my exams. But not in university. A lot of studying is required.
Not only must a dentist have studious abilities, but you also have to be good a practical work, i.e. clinical work.
I got awarded a grade 5 from my clinical tutor for a clinical assessment (we are graded from 1-8; 8 being the best) recently and the comment I received was “I can see that you are still struggling a bit with patients…”
Some dental consultants have awarded me with grade 8′s, but this particular tutor has only given me average grades. Sigh. I must work harder and push myself!!
Everyone is gifted in some way. My mum says this about me, “You’re intelligent but you’re useless at everything else!”
Haha. It’s kinda true because I know what to study to pass exams, but my brain does not absorb any other information.
This is going to be a busy month of not only studying, but deciding where I want to work after I graduate.
In conclusion : My IQ wins over EQ!
