I have came to a realization that I do not want to be an Dental Hygientist anymore. I don't want to spend the rest of my life cleaning people's teeth. This was hard for me to admit because now I feel like a lost puppy not knowing where to go now. But there is still hope.
When one is a kid dreams are crazy. Actually, any person, no matter their age, is able to dream anything.
