I called the school for information and scheduled an appointment with one of their admissions representatives. I liked how everything was explained to me and I got really excited when I saw how hands-on the classes were. 

I hadn’t been in school for a long time and English isn’t my first language so I thought the program might be very difficult for me but once I started it really wasn’t.  I took being a student very seriously and set a goal to be one the best students in my class.  I had to make a lot of scarifies to go to school because I had to work and go to school in the evening.  In the end, it all paid off.  I graduated as the class salutatorian.  Now I have a good job in a nice dental practice in Manhattan.  I get to meet all kinds of people from different cultures and work closely with the dentist.  It’s which is very rewarding. 

Graduating from The New York School has changed my life –– I feel like I’ve achieved something. I made the right choice and I’m on the right path. This is a good school.  The teachers work very closely with the students. They really know what they are doing and the program really prepares you for work and to be a professional.
