    Thank you so much for sharing your journey !!! It gives me strength to prepare my finals. I didn’t succeed in some of my midterms and I got really discouraged and completely LOST CONFIDENCE of myself. But seeing you persevere inspiring me to do the same ❤️.

    Dude I totally get you! I was also a business major but I hated every class, I also thought I wasn’t smart enough for science but all it takes is determination ! So proud of you Kenia 💜

    Hi Kenia! Thank you for your video. My dentist also asked me about being a dentist but I just thought I wouldn't be able to take all those prereqs after having a bachelor's degree in a non-related field + I don't think I am smart enough haha. I did well as an undergrad but I did really bad on SAT (which should be much much easier than DAT) in high school so I am really scared about committing to a post-bacc program as I might be wasting time and money (if I did not get into dental schools). I still haven't made my decision yet...
    Did you take your prereqs in community college?

    I'm not a pre-dental major. I am a health science major looking into going to Nursing school. At my community college I was the only minority taking my pre-req course during the summer. I won't ever take another science course in the summer again. I was taking A&P last year in the fall 2022. My grandmother passed away unexpectedly Sept 2022. It was hard. I had to withdraw from my A&P class. I will be taking it again fall 2023. I always thought I wasn't smart enough to be a nurse. I can't afford to give up. I don't see myself doing anything else. That's great that you want to be a dentist. I don't see a lot of nurses that looks like me. And I am black. I see some black nurses on UA-cam and that gives me hope. @Keniastudies

      😂 You're obsessed with race, aren't you? Your story makes zero sense. You randomly mention that you were the only minority taking classes...who cares? You shouldn't be a nurse if all you think about is race. Kind of scary.

    This is so encouraging. I’m not going for dental school but I am going for medical school. I’m a junior in college and I felt it was too late for me. But for some reason I was sad not doing it so this helps a lot and shows that it’s never too late.
    But one question. During your predental did you work still as a dental assistant? If so how many days did you work ?

    I know I'm six months late, but I came across your Tik-Tok account on the for you page on I had a look at your videos and I got to say they are really fun to watch and really relaxing at the same time too. and It is nice to see you have a good healthy routine that you do during the day time, I came across a video of yours where you shown this helpful site on google called monkey type so I had a look at it, and I just got to say I think this site could be useful for me to practice getting better at my literacy skills. my dream job is to become a actor and I feel like I'm going down the right path for it, but I would just like to add watching this video has inspired me to not give up on my dream and I think i am going to enjoy watching your content on UA-cam and also watching your content on Tik-Tok too.

    Your story is so similar to mine! I was terrified of science courses. After years of figuring out what other non-sciency major I wanted to do, I went back and took my science courses one at a time since I was working full time and I got an A in anatomy and microbiology and a B in Physio. It was not easy but it definitely can be done!

    You are amazing!!! Such a huge inspiration to me in my own journey right now. I gave up as a freshman bio major after I got a D+ in my cell bio class. It was my first science class in college and because I was so embarrassed I “failed”, I decided to change my major to creative business. Definitely learned a lot in my new major but I still wasn’t happy about giving up on my dream of becoming a dentist. After graduating college, I decided I’m no longer going to use my fear as an excuse. Starting my post-bacc to get my pre-reqs done before I take the DAT! And I 100% agree with you! As long as I believe in myself, I know I can get through it. We are more than our grades and numbers :) So excited to follow you on this journey~
