Prospective Hygienist + Side Quest! Blog ‘22

Beginning of a new year and I intend to make it a good one!

I’ve always wanted to make a blog but I’m a huge procrastinator! However I want a place where I can reflect on what I’m doing, I do of course keep a diary, and journal (I write a lot) but as I’m on tsr quite a lot anyway, I was thinking why not let my inner blogger out? I have no idea how, but I’m good at winging stuff 🙃

So I’m guessing I should give some background, I’m a dental nurse, I’ve been doing it for nearly three years. I really enjoy my job, but along the way my interest really began to grow, I wanted to do more! All goes down to meeting the best hygienist ever! She’s done her job for 38 years and she still loves every minute of it (most of the time anyway😅)

I applied for Dental Hygiene last year because it’s something I can see myself doing for a lifetime!
Unfortunately though I got rejected from all three universities I applied to last year, BUT this year will be different!!
I’m self studying an A-level (biology) and I’ll be starting a Level 4 dental nursing course this month too!
Also doing an implant nursing post qualification!

I recently came across the law of attraction; like attracts like, commonly know as “the secret”
At first I was a little apprehensive about this whole concept, if this was real then why didn’t everybody succeed? Later I realised, we always focus on what we don’t want, rather than what we do (some of us anyway). So after this a lot began to make sense, I didn’t really believe in myself, I was more fearful than hopeful.
I understand now, but the difficult part is putting these positive thoughts into action.

Naturally the Covid-19 pandemic has made everyone a little pessimistic, but I refuse to let the negative excuses hold me back any longer.

This year I’m applying once again, but I truly feel like this is the year! I don’t mean to sound big headed but I reallyyyy want this🙈

I recently told a friend “believe it to achieve it” ~my motto for the year✨

-It’s 6am I’m delirious from the lack of sleep, even if there’s no else who can relate, maybe reading parts of this may help someone to avoid the mistakes I made or whatever really! I’m just doing this to see my growth.. 🤞

Edit: feel free to write about your goals and achievements here as we go through 2022, navigating our way to success!

PRSOM - Many times over :blow:

Please Update your journey here, this sounds very exciting, its like episode one of a new series.

I definitely agree with what you said ~ we say to ourselves that "we don't want to fail" , when we should say, "we want to succeed" and do the best that we can possibly do.

Being positive and motivated is the best way to start, discipline must keep you going because hard work pays off. It always does :bandit:


Good luck, we're with you all the way :smile:

Exactly, we need to start saying “when I pass I will…” rather then “if I fail then…”

Failure shouldn’t be an option we consider.

I agree with you, hard work will always pay off!

Thank youuu:h: we’ll be here for eachother!!
