Jhonatan\u2019s Story: A university experience to smile about
\n<\/strong>How a Goodwin Dental Hygiene graduate made his career goals a crowning achievement<\/em><\/p>\n

Economic crisis leads to an educational climb\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2009, Jhonatan Rodriquez lost his job due to the Great Recession. He was tagged as a \u201cdislocated worker\u201d by the state\u2019s Department of Labor, and a year after that, his first marriage had come to an end.<\/p>\n

At that point, Jhonatan knew there was nowhere to go but up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told myself that I was going to do what I wanted to do since I came to this country from Venezuela in 2000,\u201d Jhonatan stated, \u201cI was going to go to college in the United States of America.\u201d<\/p>\n

At that time, Jhonatan\u2019s daughter, Michelle, was only four-years-old, and he was a hard-working, hopeful parent. Although attending college represented a challenge, Jhonatan didn\u2019t let doubts get in the way of creating a future for his family.<\/p>\n

Jhonatan heard about Goodwin University by word of mouth. After listening to several people share their positive experiences, he searched online and saw the school\u2019s\u00a0YouTube video\u00a0for the Dental Hygiene program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Intrigued by the thought of seeing people smile every day, Jhonatan felt energized and ready to start on the educational path he had pondered for years.<\/p>\n

After scheduling a tour of Goodwin\u2019s\u00a0Dental Hygiene facility<\/a>, he noted that \u201ceverything was brand new.\u201d After the visit, he was even more interested in the program and enrolled as a student shortly after.<\/p>\n

Educators that promote purpose\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

While attending Goodwin, \u201cthe professors demanded my best and encouraged me never to stop learning,\u201d Jhonatan emphasized. \u201cThey pushed me to do better and to get the best out of my experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Dental Hygiene program empowered students to use science-based knowledge,\u201d Jhonatan related. \u201cThey educated us on the proper use of instrumentation and encouraged us to provide the best cleanings. They made sure you knew how to apply your knowledge and adapt to each patient. We were advised to make sure we knew about products before recommending them, and to truly know our clients before recommending their care.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy first language is Spanish,\u201d Jhonatan revealed, \u201cso going back to school was demanding for me. Writing papers took me more time than others, but the professors pushed and helped me a lot. They made sure that I could go out there and have all the tools, knowledge, and skills to succeed in the real world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Preparing for a variety of patients\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Goodwin training center proved equipped with everything Jhonatan needed to practice his profession.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything was spot on,\u201d he pointed out. \u201cWe had the machines to clean our tools, x-ray technology, everything we needed to take care of our patients. The chairs and lights were brand new, too \u2014 whatever you needed, it was always there, and that equipment knowledge and practice gave students like me an edge in the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGoodwin also put us in diverse scenarios,\u201d he expressed gratefully.<\/p>\n

During numerous hours of hands-on practice in community clinical rotations, \u201cwe had to develop habits as a patient educator,\u201d he shared. \u201cEverything has to be customized for each patient, and there are many factors involved \u2014 age, culture, habits, and more. They sent us to Hartford and different clinics to apply what we had learned in class. There were people of all backgrounds there \u2014 social, cultural, and economical. They sent us to elementary schools and high schools to teach kids about oral hygiene, and each exposure helped us out a lot,\u201d Jhonatan recollected.<\/p>\n

A personable profession\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI like this profession because I get to see patients every day, build personal relationships, and help people achieve certain goals and solve problems in their lives,\u201d Jhonatan described with pride.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you build rapport and make connections with patients, you can help them better. I always try to make a joke at the beginning of the appointment to break the ice. Then, I try to understand their culture, where they are from, and what they do for a living. Many of my patients see me as a friend, and earning their trust is key in my time with them,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome time ago, I completed treatment on a patient. Once I was finished, to my surprise, she started to cry and sobbed, \u2018Nobody has ever explained what I have to do for better oral hygiene, and nobody has ever spent this much time on my teeth cleaning them this way. I have never felt my teeth so smooth,\u2019 and moments like that encourage me to educate my patients every day,\u201d Jhonatan detailed.<\/p>\n

Reaching new heights with Dental Hygiene\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

After two years of study, Jhonatan discovered that he had passed his Dental Hygiene National Board Exams by mail while he was at home. The first person he rushed to tell was his wife, Teresa, and his daughter, Michelle.<\/p>\n

\u201cA couple of tears came down, and it was a very happy moment,\u201d Jhonatan laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Dental Hygiene program was challenging, but beautifully rewarding. Goodwin helped me and pushed me in every way to reach my goals. I am now part of a passionate profession where I can communicate with a variety of people every single day, listen to their stories, and learn about their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy education gave me a ladder to reach higher, and I love my new career. I am very thankful for Goodwin; it was the best investment I could have ever made,\u201d Jhonatan added.<\/p>\n
