I am Jamie McKinnon. I attended the dental assisting program at CTC, and I'm pursuing a career in dental hygiene.

00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:10.300
As a young girl I was always very intrigued by dentistry.

00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:20.450
I knew that was something that I definitely wanted to look into at doing in the future, and CTC offered the opportunity for me to do so.

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.200
I think that the lessons that I learned here were the reason why I was successful.

00:00:25.450 --> 00:00:36.550
Because they instilled, not only that educational value to what I was doing in real life, but also as a whole.

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:46.450
A lot of the connections that I have made, have just continued to grow in a positive way. They have continued to open doors for me, for my future.

00:00:46.550 --> 00:00:53.450
So, starting at CTC was a key to all of the connections I've had in life.

00:00:54.000 --> 00:01:00.450
My goal after graduating would be to bring it all full circle.

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:06.450
I'm not only doing what I've always wanted to do, and I've just been lucky enough to get to do it.

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:15.400
Right now, but also, give back to what I've got as far as teaching what I love.

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:21.300
Not only was I able to do something that I really loved and was passionate about.

00:01:21.450 --> 00:01:31.450
But it continued to open doors for me even now as I am a student again, pursuing dentistry, but furthering that. 

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.200
Career Ready. College Ready. Life Ready.

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.000
