Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?
I think i wouldn't like to be one. Being a dentist doesn't really interest me, so being a dental assistant
wouldn't really be something i would like to be. If i could i would give it a try, to see how i like it, but
right now i don't really think i would want to be one.
