SADHA day
Joining sadha was a very good decision. I found the lunch and learns to be insightful and fun. I also had heard a lot about sadha day. There was a lot of excitement built up for it and most people raved about it. But my honest opinion is that I was a little disappointed. A bunch of us girls went out the night before and it was so much fun to bond with my classmates outside of school. I think many of us got closer and we learned some valuable lessons (like separate checks!!) The events started a little bit to early for my liking, but it was fun to get some free stuff. The guest speaker really put a damper on the whole thing. I felt that her speech was completely irrelevant to dental hygiene and it obviously offended a lot of people which she clearly knew that she was going to do. We are all in college so we have obviously made it through middle school and high school where we already learned about racism and to see so many people obviously hurt by what she was saying made it clear to me that she was kind of irresponsible when putting together her speech. That alone makes me not want to attend next year. The round table discussion were educating. I learned about females with blood disorders which was very interesting and tongue thrusts which wasnt! I got to meet other girls from different schools and I loved hearing about how other schools operate. However, another sad note was that some of the girls would whisper and give us dirty looks during our upperclassmen's presentation. I felt that was very immature and not inviting at all. I was not really quite sure why they did this but overall it just wasn't the experience I was hoping for. Maybe I will try again next year and it might be a little different.
