However, one certain educational experience that motivated me the most, towards what I want to become, a Dentist, are my high school science classes specifically my Physics, Biology, Advanced Biology, and Chemistry classes. These classes impacted my life by showing what I am good at, which career I would most likely want to go into, and also how going into that certain career would help me benefit myself and the public.
