"Attitude is the mind's paintbrush. It can color any situation."

- Anonymous

Reflection: It really is. Many times the whole outcome of the situation can be simply based on attitude. Many times have I been in a situation in which my attitude has helped me succeed and live a better life. It allows to have a open mind and thinking positively helps with positive results.

Periodontist

Periodontist

Duties and Responsibilities:

            Periodontists treat patients with gum disease and other issues in the gums and bones surrounding the jaws. Work may be surgical or non-surgical and might include tasks like placing implants, developing grafts or reductions to alter the way a person’s smile looks. Part of the job might also be to help patients resolve issues like tooth sensitivity.

Average Salary: $270,000

Education:

            Becoming a periodontist starts along the same path as becoming a dentist. You need to complete dental school followed by a residency in periodontics. Admission to dental school usually entails passage of the Dental Admissions Test and at least two years of prior college study, but it's common for students to earn bachelor's degrees before gaining admission. You might earn your degree in an area of science, which may prepare you for the extensive science coursework required in dental school; however, a degree in any major is usually acceptable as long as you meet science prerequisites.

I do not believe I would enjoy being periodontist because I do not believe I would enjoy looking a person’s mouth constantly.

- A Proverb

"You can't hire someone else to do your push-ups for you."

- Jim Rohn

Reflection: When you need to do something, you can make someone else do it for you. Just like you can't make someone work out for you so that you can be healthier and have a better body.

"Kindness is the essence of greatness."

- Joseph B. Wirthlin

Reflection: I do see many people with things that make others think that a person has a great life. Many times that person is sad and miserable but they don't know why. What they need is to show kindness. Many rich people that have families that love them and they show the love in return are much happier than wealthy single men. I am in the humanitarian club at my school and I gladly and honestly say that others happiness makes me happy because I know that they are enjoying a life that others sometimes cannot. One of the most previous fundraisers we did was to help bring a clean water source to a village in Africa.
