Add a Picture:
After researching and learning what an orthodontist is and their duties, I still think I don't want to be one. The reason why is because I think teeth are disgusting and its not y dream career. My dream career is to become an therapist and be a psych major. And I just don't think that this career is right for me and I would never find interest in it to pursue. Also I don't like the dentist or the sounds that the machines and the tools make it gives me anxiety so I don't think that would be best of me.
