\u00a0I decided I was going to see and experience the world. \u00a0So, I got on my computer and looked up the location of EVERY SINGLE dental hygiene school. \u00a0Once I had that list, I filtered out all of the schools that were further than 25 miles from the beach. \u00a0Smart plan, I know \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0At that point, I had narrowed the list to four schools, SPC being one. \u00a0Next, I visited each school. \u00a0While touring SPC, someone mentioned the Study Abroad opportunity to Jamaica. \u00a0I reminded myself, &#8220;You wanted to see the world . . . \u00a0right?&#8221; \u00a0So, it was decided right then. \u00a0I was going to attend SPC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: Helvetica;color: #141412\">When applying to SPC, I thought anyone that wanted to participate in the Study Abroad program had the opportunity to do so, but, during my first semester, I found out that you had to be selected; I became worried. \u00a0I told myself, that day, and every day the trip was mentioned after, &#8220;Everything happens for a reason. \u00a0What is meant to be, will be&#8221; . . . Basically, I was preparing myself for the rejection letter I hadn&#8217;t even received yet! \u00a0Fast forward a year, and there I was, reading an email that said I got a spot; I still remember exactly where I was when I opened that email. Then, so quickly, it was October 1st. \u00a0We were supposed to be heading out that morning, but, due to hurricane Matthew, our trip was postponed. \u00a0After our second canceled flight, I had given up hope that we were going to make it there. \u00a0But, through the grace of God and Mrs. Krueger, on October 5th, our group of 11 landed safely in Montego Bay, Jamaica.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: Helvetica;color: #141412\">Through-out our six day trip, \u00a0the entire course of my life changed. \u00a0The &#8220;future&#8221; plans I once had mapped out . . . left on the roadside of Fern Gully. . . \u00a0and what has replaced them, something immensely better. In Jamaica, in one short week, I found out what God had put me on this Earth to do. \u00a0I have never felt that before. \u00a0It is such an amazing and overwhelming feeling. \u00a0Never before have I felt like I knew my purpose, but in Jamaica, I did. \u00a0So, what was it exactly that helped me figure out that my future is in Jamaica? \u00a0It wasn&#8217;t just one thing or one person . . . it was everything and everyone. \u00a0It was the patient who brought me to tears as she sang for the first time in so long because I had found her a tube of denture paste. \u00a0It was the child who slipped his tiny fingers in my hand as I walked down the clinic hallway and asked for a book that he could, &#8220;share it with the boys in [his] community.&#8221; \u00a0It was the local woman who invited 15 volunteers over for a home-cooked meal. \u00a0It was the \u00a0four-year-old that sat perfectly still as a stranger with a mask asked him to open his mouth. . . and that same four-year-old that assured me I was doing a good job because his teeth were, &#8220;already feeling much stronger&#8221; after I applied the &#8220;tooth vitamins&#8221; (fluoride). \u00a0It was a patient who thanked me twenty times over while giving me the most sincere hug I had ever received, simply because I held his hand through a scary moment . . . \u00a0 a three hour extraction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: Helvetica;color: #141412\">I was humbled by and through this experience. \u00a0To say that I was blessed with this opportunity is an understatement. \u00a0 \u00a0I am a different person now than when I left. \u00a0 \u00a0I went there to &#8220;change lives&#8221;, but it was mine that was truly changed. \u00a0I went on this mission trip to help to &#8220;rescue&#8221; the people of Jamaica, but I was the one who was saved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My dental hygiene journey started about three years ago in Kansas City. \u00a0At that time, I was a student at Kansas State University, planning on attending UMKC for Dental Hygiene upon graduation. \u00a0That year, my sister decided to move to Chicago for college, and it prompted me to think, &#8220;If she&#8217;s doing it [moving away &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/international\/jamaica-study-abroad-best-days-life\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Jamaica Study Abroad: The Best Days of My Life<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":987,"featured_media":14091,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[68,927,7],"tags":[],"coauthors":[771],"class_list":["post-14014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jamaica-dental","category-jamaica-dental-2022","category-study-abroad"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
