- New information: Before starting this project I had general knowledge of what a orthodontist does. But throughout the process of this project I learned a deeper feeling of how they spend their time and what exactly they have to go through.
- Compatibility in 10 years: In 10 year I do not see myself as a orthodontist, yet. I will first get my major in Bachelors in Chemistry and get my teachers credential. I will be working as a teacher to help pay off my studies that I will be taking to become an orthodontist. I know it will be a hassle to do all of this but I enjoy challenging myself.
- Additional comments: One thing that I hope this school can start to do is show students more careers. Also, relate how the general education classes taken in high school and help in the future. I would like if this school can show exactly how this school can be the foundation that your future can settle on.

One of the many things that an orthodontist has to be able to do is being advanced in public speaking. You will have to deal with many customers that may not have rational thinking. To deal with this the orthodontist must be able to give clear instructions and have a calm way of saying things. They must make visiting the dentist a pleasant feeling.
