Down to the Last Second

The deadline is two days away and I finally got my letter of intent handed in and both my mentors are picked out! I chose Mr. Gudmundson to be my faculty mentor. He is a health teacher at Deuel, so I figured he was the closest I could get to a dental assistant. I also chose Gail Toft from the Clear Lake Dentist Office for my community mentor. It took me long enough to get ahold of her, but I finally did it!

After getting my mentors, finishing my letter of intent was easy breezy. I really hope it gets accepted though, I think I have a really good idea. I'm hoping to shadow at the dentist office and learn more about dental hygiene. After all I've learned, I want to do something with the elementary school students about dental health. My research paper is going to be about gum disease, to tie into the project as a whole. I definitely feel like a little weight is lifted off my shoulders now, and now I can just work, work, work!
