Schooling for dentistry is very expensive.  Be ready with your checkbook or lots of grants and scholarships.  Being a dentist in practice for yourself is expensive starting up.  You have a lot of overhead cost, add that on to student loans, and well you get the picture.  If you do an associateship with another dentist then you have a contract with that dentist for a certain period of time.  Science classes are a must, biology,anatomy, biochemistry, chemistry, pharmacology, etc.  I would try to get a job in a dental office doing something to see if dentistry is for you.  Ask around, tell the dental offices that you would like to be a dentist and see what dentistry is all about.  Some offices will let you "hang out" and observe sometimes. Do a lot of research and see what the pros and cons are.  You have to have a strong stomach, love dentistry, and people to survive in the dental field.  It is for some people and then not for others.  You put yourself at risk for exposure to infectious diseases, even though we take universal precautions (gloves,safety glasses and masks) you can cut yourself, injure the patient or cut them.  There is a lot of liability involved.  I would def. spend some time getting to know dentistry before you make your decision.  Sounds pretty scary right?  I love dentistry and would never change it, though being a hygienist I have less liability then a dentist, but I still carry liability insurance in case of problems.

i know how you feel-speaking from a newly highschooler.  Just hang in there, you only got a few days left before summer, then you'll have a new teacher next year.  So put a smile on and count the days till your last day of english and history.  it will be hard but the last day will be awesome!  =]

You need to find out whats happening in your area and find something you would like to join in.\nto make new friends  volunteering is always good.\nAt your age  if you don't want to help with the soup kitchen or hospital  you can check out the fire dept.\nfor summer fun\ncheck out the whats happening section in the local newspaper.\ntune into a local radio station.\ncheck out the church bulletin

All campuses should offer summer housing, although it will cost you money, you can avoid that by taking summer classes;filling out for financial aid for the summer might help with that expense. And you can also ask around on campus for odd jobs paid by left over bonus money that just collecting dust with a certain department(biology, history, etc)

honestly, how much time do you think you will have to socialize and make friends in class?  I don't allow my students much time to meet each other and get to know each other,there is too much actual class work to get done.\nI highly recommend finding something that is of interest to you and going for it... be it an elective class that will allow more "get to know me" time, or an extra-curricular activity.

I know a little about job corp. They give you somewhere to live on their campus when you enroll. If you don't have a High School Diploma or GED they will help you get it. Than after you get your high school Diploma they help you get a job and a trade. I never was in it but I know of people who were. GOOD LUCK

Science will help you get employment in many fields.  It has so many uses that are crucial to our lives today.  There is medecine, Astronomy, Physics for engineering and a host of other things.  I wish I could have done more in that field when I was in school.

Yes, that's a good start.  My buddy is a firefighter here in Colorado.  He volunteered for about 2 years before he got hired on.  Another good thing to look into, alot of community colleges offer "Fire Sciences" coursework.  You can get an AS, or sometimes all the way up to a Masters (of course that level isn't tought at community college) if you want to maybe be a fire inspector, or chief someday.  Good luck!!

Anything in the science industry. Mechanical engineering (hopefully you like math as well) and other kinds of engineering. Astronomy. Definitely astronomy. Or just stick to the pure physics and apply to grad school for it.

Smile but don't be too cheesy... hit your motions, make sure they are tight and sharp. Make sure you are in the front to learn the dance and/or cheer... don't be afraid to ask questions... wear your school colors... remember you are there to try-out so socialize afterwards...work on the learned material at home... and relax!! If you mess up keep going because I have given people points for messing up but not stopping... it looks pretty bad if you panic... lastly have fun!!! Good Luck

Be safe and honest. Then join and after school club as an alternate solution. I like frisbee and cross-country, but I hear science club is good.

Talk to your academic advisor, your college dean, or even a professor.  Most colleges and universities have special departments that work just with interns.  Make sure it is an internship for which you can get credit.  You don't want to waste your whole summer doing free work for nothing.

you're making a big mistake, you're still in school so enjoy your summertime, once you get a full time job there will be no more summers!  Trust me, prep for college when you're in school, ENJOY YOUR YOUTH!  When you're in school, clubs the the NHS do volunteering during the school year, get active in clubs like NHS and FBLA and if you're a christian be in FCA.  If you HAVE to do something over the summer though, why not stop by your local fire department and learn some CPR classes and stuff.  It's fun and free!\n\nBut my first choice would still just be to relax...

I assume you have already done a web search on "high school summer intern" and added some location geographic information (e.g. Boston or GA)\n\nYou should look into the Government Intern programs. We hired some high school students last summer. The problem is you should apply early. I know that one organization was talking about  extending their deadline until Mar 15. You might need to apply in Jan or Feb for some of there programs.\n\nThe USDA progam does not really apply but it may in two years and I thought it would have been cool job.

practise past papers, they will give you an idea of what to expect. you should be able to get hold of some from the net, sixth form or college.\n\nor write your own questions and time yourself to get used to how long your have to answer each section.\n\nGood luck for may,june!

study your science and math when you get to college take Biology they have courses. do the best that you can in high school there is curriculum from the state that you are required it all depends on what state you live in some offer seniors 1/2 days at career centers.
