 Hello everybody, Andrea Mayesca here with Dental L Tutoring, so I've been a tutor for about 13 years now www.dentall.com if you haven't seen the website yet. I tutor dental hygiene and dental assisting students from everywhere. So internationally, it doesn't matter if you're from Canada It doesn't matter if you're from the States. I tutor everybody. So if you need help, let me know. But one of the more common questions that I get are Students who want to take the dental hygiene program, but something stopping them or they're scared about something So then that hinders them from taking the program or they think about it for months or years Even but they don't know if the if the program will be for them or not So I want to talk to you guys about common things that hold people back that really shouldn't or even things that are holding you back that Maybe should you know and that you do have to think twice before you sign up for the program because that's your time That's your money. That's your you know life that you're going to lose right like honestly So if dental hygiene isn't for you, you probably don't want to do that But some of the more common things that people hold them back, you know on which they really shouldn't is You know people say well the program is so expensive. I don't know if I can do it So then they just simply don't even apply, but I'm a firm Believer Honestly that if you want something bad enough you can do it. I mean take it a step further and think Why do you think you can't do it? You know Everybody else was able to so why can't you you know? Why are you thinking that you can't do it? Is it because you think you're not? Smart enough is it because you think you don't have enough enough money Is it because you think you won't find enough patients for clinics? So really think about what is holding you back But for all of those reasons aren't good enough reasons and I'll tell you why if you think that you're not Smart enough. Well you go to a school to learn Okay, you go to school to learn and if you if you need help ask me that is why I am a dental hygiene tutor Because I help you be the best person you can possibly be so then that way school Is it nearly as stressful? And then you will feel confident because I will give you those skills that you need to pass because it's not an easy program But with anything you guys with anything you don't know it until you learn it You know when we learned how to talk, you know bad example But when we learned how to talk learned how to walk we didn't know how But we didn't give up after a couple times of not being able to write when you learn how to ride a bike If you fall down 20 times, it doesn't matter. You can do it Everybody can ride a bike. You just have to push through to be able to ride that bike, right? It might take you falling 10 times and might take you falling a hundred times It might take you two times and then you can ride a bike perfectly Everybody's different but do not let that stop you if you want to be a dental hygienist You have to take the program you can do it work hard, but that's for another Video where I kind of talk about how to be organized and how to be the best student possible But you can you can do it think everybody else has to start somewhere. You all have that same opportunity You can do it another thing is that you don't have enough money. Take it alone. That's what loans are there for That's what student line of credit is there for I took the program twice not because I failed But because my first school decided to go bankrupt about a month before graduation three weeks actually But I wanted to be a dental hygienist. So I took the program twice. I paid twice Okay, you know, it's expensive at the time. It was $45,000 for everything pretty much the give or take but $45,000 plus I had to move out of my house Out of my home, you know, I had to rent a place. I had to buy my own food clothes Whatever I did work pretty much full-time. So that helps but not not really because how much money can you possibly make right? But get alone you guys honestly who cares? That's what they're there for if you want to be a dental hygienist do it If you're worried about finding patients for clinic. Well, everybody, you know a lot of people don't know anybody I moved to a city. I knew nobody I was too far away from my friends and family to come in to help me So I had to find all my own patients and I can help you with that too back in the day I posted on Kijiji. That's what I did. Yes, that might not be the safest thing to do But that's what I did. That's how I got all my patients these days It's even easier because there's like dental hygiene Facebook pages Everywhere, I'm sure somebody would be willing to help if we had a dental hygiene program where I live I'd be happy to help every three months, you know, there are people out there who would be happy to help you I think especially those who are fresh out of school because they remember how hard it was So don't let that hold you back. That is just silly. Okay. That's just silly But yeah, I'd say those are the common ones if there's something that's holding you back Comment below and I can help Let me just think here. Oh, I find a lot of people too Where English isn't their first language that holds them back that I do understand but still don't let it hold you back Okay, if English isn't your first language, I knew almost half of my class actually English wasn't their first language And they did just fine. Yes, it might have taken them a little bit longer to learn things Which hey, if if I moved somewhere and that language wasn't my first language. Oh my goodness That would be so overwhelming. I can only imagine but it can be done So don't let that hold you back. If this is something you want to do Don't wait for it to come to you. Just go for it. You know, just go for it But make sure to look for a program a school that is accredited in my opinion All schools are the same you will hear good things. You will hear bad things It depends on who you talked to if you have a If you're talking to a student who barely passed they're going to tell you horrible things, right? Because they think it's the teacher's fault. They think they didn't teach them properly. Who knows if you have a student who passed everything with 95% that was not me by the way They will tell you how amazing the school is so just depends on who you talked to you But as long just make sure that the school is Accredited if it's not accredited then that pretty much means they can make their own rules and they can literally shut down anytime That's what happened to my first school They just shut down and there's nothing that anybody could do about it because they weren't accredited at the time I had nobody like me telling me to make sure to go to an accredited program. So that's kind of the best advice that I can give you Yeah, if I left something out, please let me know please make sure to comment and I upload the videos weekly so make sure to hit subscribe and If there's a video that you guys would like to see please let me know and I am more than happy to help So thank you guys for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one
