Objective I 

When I received acceptance for the Pima Medical Institute of Seattle Dental Hygiene program, I was honored to be selected and eager to start. I thought the program's beliefs and curriculum aligned perfectly with my aspirations and that it would be mutually beneficial. I was excited about the prospect of taking care of patients alongside such talented, experienced individuals. I had worked as a dental assistant for a year and being accepted reaffirmed my passion for dental care. All of the trials and tribulations of being trained on the job felt like it had led me down the right path.
