I enrolled in college 3-9-09. I will be going to Fortis College to become a Dental Assistant. I am very excited and I am looking forward to having a career when I finish school. I can't be a stay at home mom forever. My kids are finally old enough that going to school can finally become a reality for me. I have a lot of support in this, which makes it nice. I start school mid April. I have an appointment with financial aide the first week of April. Fortis is a brand new school. Which is nice because we get to work with new matrials and machines. They don't want the students to be just a number in the classrooms, so they plan on keeping the classes small. 16 people in the labs, 28 people per classroom, with only 2 classrooms for Dental assisting. Classes are day or night. I will be going during the day. I will go 3 days a week for a total of 20 hours a week. The course lasts 9 months. They have a dental office set up in the school, so that there is a lot of hands on. I am really looking forward to this. I think this will be a great step for me in life.
