Taylor Wagner is a student in the Dental Assisting program<\/a> at West Virginia Junior College Bridgeport<\/a>.\u00a0 Prior to attending WVJC, she obtained her certification as a Certified Nursing Assistant through her high school.\u00a0 She began working at a local hospital (United Hospital Center) and worked as a CNA for 5 \u00bd years before realizing this wasn\u2019t the direction she wanted her life to go. Taylor reevaluated and made the choice to further her education with WVJC in the Dental Assisting<\/a> program. Her future in dentistry was an easy choice for her. Taylor said, \u201cI have always found dentistry interesting and loved going to the dentist growing up.\u201d\"\"<\/p>\n

Taylor is currently a full-time dental assisting student, while still working a part-time job as a CNA at UHC.\u00a0 Taylor says that at times, \u201cit can be difficult to have so much on my plate, but I continue to do what needs done, so that I can have the future I want. WVJC<\/a> makes it easier because of the small classes, hands on activities, and close drive from home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor is excited by how much she is learning and looking forward to putting her knowledge to the test in the workforce.\u00a0 Taylor says she thoroughly enjoys Mr. Cutright\u2019s classes.\u00a0 \u201cHe is my favorite teacher. He is always there for his students and makes every class interesting.\u201d As she approaches her last 12 weeks, Taylor is completing her externship hours at All Smiles Dental<\/a>. \u201cI love it there. The doctors are so nice, and the staff always answers my questions and makes me feel at home. I love the hands-on learning experience I am gaining.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor is not only excited to graduate but is really looking forward to a full-time job in a field she is passionate about.\u00a0 Taylor is ready to begin her career but is also already thinking about one day continuing her education even further.<\/p>\n
