In the future I want to be a Dental Hygienist. Dental hygienists help maintain the dental health of their patients and educate them about proper oral hygiene. The main responsibilities of dental hygienists are to examine teeth and gums visually and with x-rays to find tooth decay and gum disease, report problems to the dentist, scrape hard built-up material off teeth, polish patients’ teeth and give advice on preventive dental care. Dental hygienist wages can vary widely, they often range from $30 - $40.However with more experience and knowledge you can earn up to $60 an hour in some regions. Dental hygienists mostly work in dental offices but some may work for larger organizations such as the hospital. To become a dental hygienist a lot of hard work and education is required. A bachelor’s degree in Dental hygiene is required and you receive the degree after 4 years.
I am interested in this career because I enjoy working with people and I am good in sciences and math. Firstly, dental hygienists work with other people including children, adults and seniors. I really like seeing people and after a dental hygienist finishes there work they see a smile on ones face and that is a reassuring fact. Second I am strong in science and math subjects and to become a dental hygienist you need the basic sciences like chemistry, biology and physics. Finally dental hygienists make a good amount of money. The only concern I have is that after university, will there be a job available in British Columbia.
For my genius hour I have decided to do tie-dye. I selected this area for genius hour because it’s something that is creative and different. I am the type of girl that buys my clothes and never really thought of how much effort and work it takes to design clothes and make them look pretty .I took sewing class in grade 8 for about 6 weeks, after that I have never touched a sewing machine or anything to do with creating your own clothes. Tie-dye is the process of taking a normal white shirt and dyeing it with a variety of colors. I think this area will be very fun to work with and not only will I tie dye but I will also make different types of shirts for an example, some will be t-shirt style and some tank top style.
In this area I hope to gain experience of how to tie dye and also to learn how to do different patterns on a shirt using the tie-dye technique. If I learn how to tie dye then it will be for my benefit because whenever I want to design something in the future then I will have knowledge on how to make whatever I am making colorful. When it comes to creativity, I am not really creative and tend to take the easy way out. When I tie dye I hope to be creative with the colors and make more than one design of tie dye on it such as, making polka dots, spirals and stripes.
