My future

Hello everyone! Today I´m going to talk about what I hope to be in the future when I graduate from University.

Lately I’ve been thinking if dentistry is the best career for me. I´ve always wanted to study Dentistry at the University of Chile, because I think that this is the best University in the country, but there is a lot of things about dentistry in the University and the country that make me doubt about my decision. For example, I don’t like the competition among my classmates for being the best, I think that is good that everyone wants to be one of the best dentists, but sometimes I think they forget the real objective of this profession, which is helping people to have a better and happier life.

I’m one of those people who really hate the routine! I will die working eight hours a day in a doctor’s office. I want adventures, for that reason I would LOVE to work in South Africa, I think that people who live in that country deserve a better medical attention, and that includes the improvement of oral health. So I hope I have the abilities in the future as a professional to change people’s life in this country, I would specially like working with kids that need protection. In addition I would like to learn more about their culture and life style, and one of my dreams is going to a Safari in South Africa!!
