intro. dialogue


Hi (:
My name is Penny P. Ho.  I've been married for almost 4 months but been with my husband for almost 8 years.  We have a bull terrier named Kloee.  She is the love of our lives...for now. When writing about myself I tend to give all the credit to my husband.  He made me the person I am today.  Through the 8 years he's taught me more than I can ever be thankful for.  And if it wasnt for him, I probably wouldn't be continuing my education.






In August of 2009, I completed the Dental Assisting Program at the JC and was lucky to find a job through my last internship. I am currently an RDA and is grateful that I still have a job. Each day is a different challenge which I am willing to take. I love the people I work with and like every other workplace, we all have our differences.


My goal is to get my associates degree by completing the California State University (CSU) General Education course requirements.  At the same time take prerequisite classes for the hygiene program.  Not exactlty sure if that makes any sense.  But in the end, I will be able to have a choice of either going through with the hygiene program or transferring to CSU.


Learning new things takes time to process.  Repetition is key and pacing myself through everything helps with a better outcome.  I would love to get my work done early, but I'm a perfectionist.  At times I hate that about myself only because english is my worst subject.  I am horrible at it, but I look forward to learning new things and blogging with all of you.

  1. Hi Penny!
    Congratulations on your marriage!
    I'm in the medical field as well, but a little different. I work on an ambulance. I got braces last year, and I have to tell you how much I admire the RDA's at the office I go to. I go in all the time with broken equipment, complaining about pain, and whining about everything, and the Assistants are always very patient with me, explaining everything to me, and putting up with me! I can imagine that you have to deal with this quite often.
    You have the key to learning, and I wish you luck for your future!

  3. Hi Penny,

    Congratulations! Thanks for sharing an image of your wedding with us.

    I'm sure you've had as much a positive impact on your husband as he has had on you. You should share what you've written with him; it speaks your truth.

    Which CSU are you planning to attend?

    Take care,
    Lauren

  4. Hey Penny,
    Thats great that you have such a strong support system behind you while you go to school. I can somewhat relate to you because my mother is my main source of motivation when it comes to my own life and going to school. What my mom and i have been through has made me want to make her proud and i try to do so by going to school and getting my degree and getting my career on the road. So hearing that someone else here has that somewhat same motivation is great because I think those are the best motivators in the world.

    Its great to have a job that you love to be at and love to do. That is one of the most important things in life is going to school for a career you actually want to do and not just because of the money. Thats cool that you want to have a choice at the end of your JC career. That is what i think i am going to do. I'm going to get my general ed while getting my Associates degree in psychology. I hope we get to work together and get to know each other better.

  5. Hi Penny! Congratulations on your marriage! You and your husband really have been together for a long time.. I remember! That's great! Danny and I are still together, it was our 9 years on the the 7th of January. Can you believe we are both still with out high school sweet hearts? We are strong believers of making things work and never giving up. It has worked out great so far. I'm glad to hear that you are continuing you're education and that you have someone to support and encourage your goals to success. He's a keeper! The last I heard you where in living in Georgia? How was that? My sister Nicole loved Atlanta so much that she never came back after college. Again, Penny, congrats on your marriage! I wish you luck in your future!

  6. Hello Penny! Congratulations on your wedding and I admire the decoration on your hair. Dating someone for eight years is a long time and I am glad to hear how much he has made you grow and helped you. I feel the same way about my boyfriend who has been with me since I moved from Mexico and has helped me adapt to the American lifestyle. It is good that you are a perfectionist I am sure that this is going to help you become a better writer! Welcome to English 100 and good luck
