congrats,SARAH!

phew! nothing really. i just want to emote.
i don't know, but i graduated in may 2006, but only now that i feel that graduating feeling. maybe because i will be marching this march? lol
the feeling is great. seven years in dentistry instead of the prescribed 6 years. hehe. i stopped for one semester when i gave birth to my baby girl. and during that extra semester, i went crazy with my studies and i did not go to school. i hated that semester. had a lot of problems then. anyway, it's over. and here i am now. i've graduated. woohoo!!!

how people did i get to sit in the dental chairs at our clinic at school? the young...the old...how many teachers checked the things i did and said that my work was great and how many teachers rejected my other cases? but that's okay. for how many patients did i create appliances and corrected their teeth? how many patients teeth who most of them were really old but it was their first time to get their teeth cleaned? how many teeth did i make to complete the missing teeth of the patients? and how many patients did i make smile after pulling out their teeth? how many? can you count it? even me, i don't think i can count the numbers.

i also had a lot of bitter moments with my patients. there were many who did not return for their final restoration or final delivery. how about the patients who fell in love with you? young or old. it is hard. whilie you're working on their teeth, they play with their tongues and there were some who would call and get mad if i leave the house...what? yes, they feel i'm their gf. there are also those patients who brought gifts and free lunches or snacks...and there were some days where i would hide in the clinic so that i could stay away from them. and because i did not continue their cases, i had to find new patients and start from scratch.

but now, i'm very happy. happiness is all i feel.
the fruits of my labor is here...i will be marching on stage to receive my diploma.

congrats to myself.
and congrats to those who supported me.
