One aspect I would like to change about the overall curriculum of our dental program is that it should consider specialization in the subjects from the early years of study since dentistry is a highly specialized and technical profession that is not compared to any other area of health. Instead of addressing general subjects that may not be directly relevant to our career and with the passage of time are not resumed, therefore forgotten by the student, it would be more beneficial to focus on specialized subjects from the beginning that will be reviewed and necessarily remembered by the rest of the career and working life as dentists. This would not only shorten the duration of our studies, reducing the stress levels experienced in studying dentistry, but it would also allow us to develop more specific and relevant skills for dental practice. On the other hand, it would be interesting to apply a greater number of activities that go beyond a lecture where only the teacher is speaking...

I do not usually think much about traveling to the past or the future. When I was a teenager, maybe I thought more about going back in time to make better decisions, but I have matured enough (I think) not to regret the things I have done. So now, I would like to travel to the future. I believe I would go to the year 2043 to see if I finished my studies and if I am happy working in it (if not, I could pursue my dream of petting cats) or if robots have definitely replaced any jobs done by humans. I do not think I would stay in the future because I would miss many stages of my life, and I feel it is necessary to experience them to shape who I am. If the world is about to end in 2043 (like 2012 movie haha) I would come back to the present, obviously leave my career, and do many things to enjoy to the fullest, like going to Mexico to eat tacos and traveling to many places in general. But if the future is not very different and it looks appealing, and my life is easier, I think I would pref...

When I was a child, I thought about having many different jobs. The classic ones like being a doctor, teacher, architect, firefighter, photographer, and all those cool jobs. Today, my thinking is quite different; I'm studying dentistry because I became interested when I had to go to the dentist regularly for my orthodontic treatment. The environment was intriguing, and after researching and watching many videos, I liked the career. But my dream job would be petting cats! Do I need to study to pet cats? I hope not. Anyways, I love cats! I consider myself talented because I know very well how to treat them so they don't scratch me. Additionally, I'm the owner of two cats and have received no complaints from them, so my salary would certainly be high! Not just because I'd do a good job, but also because there are many cats with busy owners, which means many cats need to be petted. With that money, I would be able to travel and meet cats from different places and countries ...
