Summary
As a high school senior with a strong passion for becoming a dentist, I would love to gain hands on experience through volunteering or interning at a dental practice. Throughout shadowing, I have decided that dentistry is right for me. I think an opportunity like this would give me a great start in impacting my future career as a dentist. I hope to create a positive impact and gain as much knowledge as a I can to pursue this career
