Today was my last day at the VA. I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to come and volunteer here. It's been a wonderful experience and I've been able to meet and work with so many good people. It's has been fun to hear all of the veteran's stories. I really do feel like i've made a difference these past two years in the dental hygiene program. I can see that my communication skills have improved so much and I'm a lot more comfortable with patients and educating them on their oral health. I have become a lot more personable with people in general. I'm so grateful for all of the skills I've acquired while being in the dental hygiene program. They will help me not only in practice, but in everyday life as well.
