Monday, Oct. 21, 2013



MANHATTAN -- Helping others and sharing knowledge are important to 1xbet online sports betting student 1xbet sports betting degree. The schol. That's why the senior in biology and pre-dentistry, Dodge City, spent part of 1xbet online sports betting summer in Panama working with children.

1xbet online sports betting participated in a two-week summer dental mission trip to rural Panama, where he served as a dental assistant and helped children with their dental hygiene. His trip was through International Service Learning, a nongovernmental organization that sends medical and educational volunteer teams to help underserved populations in Central and South America, Mexico, the Caribbean and Africa. 1xbet online sports betting received trip support from Kansas State University's 1xbet online sports betting , of which he is a member. The 1xbet online sports betting provides underrepresented students opportunities to conduct research projects with a faculty mentor. Students in the 1xbet online sports betting receive academic, social and financial support while participating in the discovery and creation of new knowledge at Kansas State University.

Before traveling overseas, 1xbet online sports betting first got some experience in the dental field so that he could be as involved as possible on the mission. With help from his dentist, he served as a dental assistant for a couple of months.

"The two months I spent working as a dental assistant really paid off during this trip because I was able to assist with fillings and extractions," 1xbet online sports betting said. "Being bilingual also helped tremendously as I was able to communicate with patients easier."

1xbet online sports betting and his group focused on providing their services to children because they are in the greatest need of dentistry in developing countries. The team provided prevention and public health dentistry services, as well as diagnosing and treating those who needed immediate treatment.

The mission's educational focus meant the most to him, 1xbet online sports betting said. He and his group taught local residents how to brush and floss and gave presentations on the effects of not maintaining proper oral health.

"It does no good to treat patients if we don't show them how to maintain their dental health; it defeats the purpose of our visit," said 1xbet online sports betting . "Being pre-dental students, our duties were to instruct kids on how to maintain their oral health."

In their free time, 1xbet online sports betting and his team interacted with local residents and learned about their culture. That meant playing soccer with the local children, learning how to salsa and going on long hikes throughout the jungles of Panama.

The trip helped solidify 1xbet online sports betting 's decision to become a dentist.

During his third semester of college, 1xbet online sports betting became a tutor to help fellow students with their academics. He debated becoming a science teacher, but realized he could do greater good as a dentist.

"I came to the conclusion that I could combine my desire for sharing my knowledge with my love for science and apply it to an area of greater need," 1xbet online sports betting said. "I chose dentistry because I think that oral health is one of the most important aspects of individual health and wellness, yet often the most overlooked. I would love to be a dentist and contribute to increasing the awareness of oral health issues, as well as diagnose and provide treatment and education for my patients."

1xbet online sports betting also said the Developing Scholars Program has made a big difference in his future plans. 1xbet online sports betting is working on a research project with Frank White, professor of plant pathology, to analyze the phenomenon of bacterial movement thorough fungal hyphae. They are trying to determine the genes that are responsible for allowing bacteria to use these fungal hyphae as a way of transportation.

"Developing Scholars has given me the necessary tools to go forward through the opportunity to network with other students with interests similar to mine," 1xbet online sports betting said. "The program also has contributed tremendously in my preparation for professional school."

After finishing his studies, 1xbet online sports betting wants to go back to Panama as a professional and provide his services.
