Hello everybody, Andrea Mayesca here with Dental L Tutoring, so I've been a tutor for about 13 years now www.dentall.com if you haven't seen the website yet. I tutor dental hygiene and dental assisting students from everywhere. So internationally, it doesn't matter if you're from Canada It doesn't matter if you're from the States. I tutor everybody. So if you need help, let me know. But one of the more common questions that I get are Students who want to take the dental hygiene program, but something stopping them or they're scared about something So then that hinders them from taking the program or they think about it for months or years Even but they don't know if the if the program will be for them or not So I want to talk to you guys about common things that hold people back that really shouldn't or even things that are holding you back that Maybe should you know and that you do have to think twice before you sign up for the program because that's your time That's your money. That's your you know life that you're going to lose right like honestly So if dental hygiene isn't for you, you probably don't want to do that But some of the more common things that people hold them back, you know on which they really shouldn't is You know people say well the program is so expensive. I don't know if I can do it So then they just simply don't even apply, but I'm a firm Believer Honestly that if you want something bad enough you can do it. I mean take it a step further and think Why do you think you can't do it? You know Everybody else was able to so why can't you you know? Why are you thinking that you can't do it? Is it because you think you're not? Smart enough is it because you think you don't have enough enough money Is it because you think you won't find enough patients for clinics? So really think about what is holding you back But for all of those reasons aren't good enough reasons and I'll tell you why if you think that you're not Smart enough. Well you go to a school to learn Okay, you go to school to learn and if you if you need help ask me that is why I am a dental hygiene tutor Because I help you be the best person you can possibly be so then that way school Is it nearly as stressful? And then you will feel confident because I will give you those skills that you need to pass because it's not an easy program But with anything you guys with anything you don't know it until you learn it You know when we learned how to talk, you know bad example But when we learned how to talk learned how to walk we didn't know how But we didn't give up after a couple times of not being able to write when you learn how to ride a bike If you fall down 20 times, it doesn't matter. You can do it Everybody can ride a bike. You just have to push through to be able to ride that bike, right? It might take you falling 10 times and might take you falling a hundred times It might take you two times and then you can ride a bike perfectly Everybody's different but do not let that stop you if you want to be a dental hygienist You have to take the program you can do it work hard, but that's for another Video where I kind of talk about how to be organized and how to be the best student possible But you can you can do it think everybody else has to start somewhere. You all have that same opportunity You can do it another thing is that you don't have enough money. Take it alone. That's what loans are there for That's what student line of credit is there for I took the program twice not because I failed But because my first school decided to go bankrupt about a month before graduation three weeks actually But I wanted to be a dental hygienist. So I took the program twice. I paid twice Okay, you know, it's expensive at the time. It was $45,000 for everything pretty much the give or take but $45,000 plus I had to move out of my house Out of my home, you know, I had to rent a place. I had to buy my own food clothes Whatever I did work pretty much full-time. So that helps but not not really because how much money can you possibly make right? But get alone you guys honestly who cares? That's what they're there for if you want to be a dental hygienist do it If you're worried about finding patients for clinic. Well, everybody, you know a lot of people don't know anybody I moved to a city. I knew nobody I was too far away from my friends and family to come in to help me So I had to find all my own patients and I can help you with that too back in the day I posted on Kijiji. That's what I did. Yes, that might not be the safest thing to do But that's what I did. That's how I got all my patients these days It's even easier because there's like dental hygiene Facebook pages Everywhere, I'm sure somebody would be willing to help if we had a dental hygiene program where I live I'd be happy to help every three months, you know, there are people out there who would be happy to help you I think especially those who are fresh out of school because they remember how hard it was So don't let that hold you back. That is just silly. Okay. That's just silly But yeah, I'd say those are the common ones if there's something that's holding you back Comment below and I can help Let me just think here. Oh, I find a lot of people too Where English isn't their first language that holds them back that I do understand but still don't let it hold you back Okay, if English isn't your first language, I knew almost half of my class actually English wasn't their first language And they did just fine. Yes, it might have taken them a little bit longer to learn things Which hey, if if I moved somewhere and that language wasn't my first language. Oh my goodness That would be so overwhelming. I can only imagine but it can be done So don't let that hold you back. If this is something you want to do Don't wait for it to come to you. Just go for it. You know, just go for it But make sure to look for a program a school that is accredited in my opinion All schools are the same you will hear good things. You will hear bad things It depends on who you talked to if you have a If you're talking to a student who barely passed they're going to tell you horrible things, right? Because they think it's the teacher's fault. They think they didn't teach them properly. Who knows if you have a student who passed everything with 95% that was not me by the way They will tell you how amazing the school is so just depends on who you talked to you But as long just make sure that the school is Accredited if it's not accredited then that pretty much means they can make their own rules and they can literally shut down anytime That's what happened to my first school They just shut down and there's nothing that anybody could do about it because they weren't accredited at the time I had nobody like me telling me to make sure to go to an accredited program. So that's kind of the best advice that I can give you Yeah, if I left something out, please let me know please make sure to comment and I upload the videos weekly so make sure to hit subscribe and If there's a video that you guys would like to see please let me know and I am more than happy to help So thank you guys for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one


The state government of Texas is so hateful towards women and marginalized people that they've managed to concoct new and innovative ways to subject people to oppression. It's like they're creative in their bigotry, but never creative when it comes to solutions to help people, of course. But remember back in 2022, how they effectively introduced a bounty hunting system for anyone aiding and abetting women seeking abortions after six weeks? Well, now they're trying to extend that system to drag queens. Yeah, it's as dystopian as it sounds. The advocate explains, A Texas Republican lawmaker proposed a bill allowing everyday people to sue anybody who hosts or performs in drag where any child is in attendance. Critics say the measure will create a bounty hunting culture that targets drag queens and transgender people. Houston area State Representative Steve Toth filed HP 4378 on Thursday. He seeks to define a cause of action for drag performances performed in the presence of a minor. According to the bill, quote, an individual who attends a drag performance as a minor may bring an action against the person who knowingly promotes, conducts, or participates as a performer in the drag performance that occurs before an audience that includes the minor. A winning plaintiff can expect to be paid actual damages, attorney's fees, and get this, statutory damages of $5,000. This is so insane. The bill uses the same tactics of the controversial 2021 SB 8 in Texas, which gave private citizens the right to sue anybody they thought could have been involved with any part of an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. So in other words, it's just a normal week in Texas. Insane. Now, because the language of this bill is so vague, which is pretty typical for anti LGBTQ plus bills, so as to have the broadest impact, this could lead to some pretty insane outcomes. For example, trans activist Erin Reed explained via Twitter, these bounties can easily be turned against trans performers. This bill would likely ban competitors from performing in Texas, for instance. It could also ban a trans person from singing karaoke. It could ban pride. So obviously the implications of this are very far reaching. And because a law like this already exists in Texas, albeit for abortions, we already know that pitting residents against each other and incentivizing bounty hunting leads to some pretty dystopian results. For example, the Texas Tribune reports, a Texas man is suing three women under the wrongful death statute alleging that they assisted his ex-wife in terminating her pregnancy. The first such case brought since the state's near total abortion ban last summer. Marcus Silva is represented by Jonathan Mitchell, the former Texas Solicitor General and architect of the state's prohibition on abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy and state representative Brisco Kane, a Republican from Deer Park. The lawsuit is filed in state court in Galveston County where Silva lives. Now let's pause right there because as CBS News reported back in September, because of Texas's abortion ban, quote, residents of the state can sue clinics, doctors, nurses, and even people who drive a woman to get the procedure for at least $10,000. So because of laws like this, it emboldens psychopaths like the individual in this lawsuit who is suing his ex-wife and her friends because his ex-wife made a decision about her own body that he disagreed with. He gets to treat them legally as if they were accessories to murder because in the state of Texas, well, an abortion is murder, which is genuinely unhinged, but that's Texas for you. Now he's not actually suing her under the bounty hunting provision within Texas's abortion ban. He's suing her under the wrongful death statute, which the article alluded to here. And we'll get to why he's probably doing that here in a moment, but still this whole system incentivized this behavior. He is now alleging that his ex-wife conspired with two of her friends to illegally obtain medication that would induce an abortion. But what does that actually look like in practice? Well, basically it amounts to one of her friends texting her and telling her that there's an international organization that discreetly sends women abortion medication to the male, and another one of her friends simply delivered the medication to her, I'm assuming because she was still with her ex-husband at the time, who's a psychopath, presumably, and she had to have her friend get it and then deliver it to her. But all three of these women are being sued under a wrongful death statute since self-induced abortions qualify as murder under Texas state law. And he's asking for, wait for it, I can't believe this, one million dollars in damages again because his ex-wife made a decision about her own body that he didn't like. So this is why presumably he's not pursuing this under the bounty hunting provision within the abortion ban because he thought that ten thousand dollars wasn't a big enough reward for him. He wants a million dollars for turning in these criminals who aided and abetted his ex-wife with a murder. It's so insane, it feels comical. The point is, when you turn citizens against each other, the result is predictably disastrous. Imagine this applying to drag queens. If you have a picture of yourself, for example, that you took on Halloween with your kid, well, somebody could get five thousand dollars for turning you in. If you are a trans person who happens to be a parent, someone could mistake you for a drag queen, turn you in and subsequently be rewarded five thousand dollars. This is what this type of law is allowing. And this is all part of the effort in Texas to crack down on civil rights and civil liberties and subject everyone to their theocratic worldview and paint all LGBTQ plus people as if they're all dangerous to children, which is just bullshit. But the actual irony is that actual child predators probably love the GOP's fixation on LGBTQ plus people. As Marjorie Gaylor Queen points out on Twitter, a lawyer on TikTok is performing a weekly list of recently arrested pedophiles in America simply to point out that it's all youth pastors and politicians, not drag queens. So let's take a look at that.  Of those 17, 14 were pastors or youth pastors at Christian churches. One was the husband of a youth pastor. One, a police officer. None were drag queens. I don't know how many weeks I can keep it up for, but here is this week's count of adults in the United States arrested or sentenced for sex crimes involving children. One Christian pastor. Three youth pastors. One rabbi. One small town mayor. One Mormon bishop. And one retiree. Once again, not a single drag queen and not a single person who's transgender. Time now for week three in our series, who's making news in the United States for sex crimes involving children. This week, nine pastors or youth pastors, one Catholic church official, one school librarian, and one Idaho state rep who raped a girl and is being sued by her along with another state rep who helped out her. Atop that, Tennessee's Lieutenant Governor caught tweeting to a 20 year old gay man. Oh, no drag queens. No transgender people yet again. You want the totals? Here they are. So far, 30 religious figures. One school official. And three politicians. Nobody trans. No drag queens. That's three weeks. Footnotes. We're not leaving anybody out. This is just the people who made the news. Not all cases do. But wait, I was told that drag queens and LGBTQ plus people were the biggest threats to children. Our lawmakers in Texas going to set up a bounty hunting system so concerned citizens can get rewarded for turning in youth pastors if they're caught within the presence of children. I mean, of course not. It's ridiculous. Their goal is to purposefully vilify the totality of the LGBTQ plus community paint them all as child predators. That's the goal of these laws. So if the GOP actually cared about protecting children, that's who they focus on. Focusing on LGBTQ plus people, as the attorney pointed out, is a dead end. They're giving actual pedophiles a pass. Now, before I go any further, just make sure that you follow that lawyer on TikTok. She is phenomenal. She has more great content. But with every antiquated bigoted law, there's always some bogus justification.  Can't focus on that because they know that's not going to be too popular. So what do they do? They find a scapegoat, a scapegoat that allows them to conveniently distract you while they stab you in the back. So this is par for the course for the party. And I wouldn't be surprised if this past and other states adopted it because that's the climate that we're in where it's that hostile towards LGBTQ plus people.


This campaign is listening to our brothers and sisters in the Latino community. There are 11 million undocumented people in this country, and I have talked. I have talked to many of them. Alright, there's one right here.
