I need a personal statement written for dental schools from my persepctive. Here are some things that I want included in my personal statement. 
-Upbringing: My parents were immigrants who worked several hours through the day. My dad was a gas station cashier and my mom was a salesperson in the mall. I started taking care of my sister alone at home at the age of 10 while my parents worked countless hours to provide for us. 
-Why I chose the healthcare field: As an immigrant household, our parents always pushed us towards excelling in our education and I found the love of science as a young child. I always wanted to join the medical field, however due to lack of clinicals and procedure work, I chose to choose the dental route. 
-Why I specifically chose the dental field: When I was in middle school, I got called “Bugs Bunny” alot and it affected my self-esteem and made me insecure about my smile. My nickname was bugs bunny because my front two teeth were large and they were very protruding. So much that my teeth would show when my mouth would be closed. After getting braces, my teeth were corrected but the name still stuck however I was no longer insecure because my teeth were normal. 
I also chose the dental field because I have always enjoyed doing activites with my hands. I tend to get bored very easily, however when I do things with my hands I genuinely enjoy the hobbies such as video games, playing sports, etc. I knew from this that I wanted to pursue something that would allow me to do procedures throughout my day instead of strictly clinicals.
