Main Priority.

It's great to finally say that I know how I'm going to spend my last couple years of high school.  I know I've mentioned before on my blog that I wanted to continue on to college but I wasn't fully ready because I couldn't decide on what exactly it is that I want to go for.  Well, several days later, I've made a final decision:  X-Ray Technician. 

The reasons behind why I chose to become an x-ray technician is mainly because of money.  The adverage salary of a x-ray tech reaches $59,000 and the starting salary is $33,000 or less but can range up to $90,000 or above.  That's what I at least want to become, but in the mean time, I will use school to get me through and if that doesn't work out- there is a back up plan.  The back up plan still remains at a pediatric nurse, but if something so happens to go wrong, dental assisting and becoming a dental hygienist will still be a great accomplishment to me and to my family.

This past Tuesday, I took a field trip to the SWCA (South-Western Career Academy) to actually learn more about the school and to make a final, yet, good decision if I want to attend and what I want to attend for.  I was stuck in between Health Tech and Dental Assisting because of the fact that what I plan on doing is an option in both fields and as a Sophomore, you still had questions that needed to be answered.  Leaving that day, I still wasn't sure.  So I took my mom to Open House tonight to help decide.  When it all came down to it, I picked Mrs. Brown for dental.

My plan now is to complete my application to the best of my ability to get in.  Further more, when and if I get accepted into Dental Assisting, I plan to walk out my Senior year with a job as a dental assistent in a dental office while going to college further more to become an x-ray tech or a pediatric nurse.  That way I will have a great job while I'm in school.

Thank goodness for free college credits (;
