This is Nashita and she has great goals set for the future!

By Reese L. from Texas High School in Texas

“I want to be a dentist. Dentists have good pay and a good lifestyle, and I have always been interested in science and STEM stuff. [To become a dentist] you go through undergrad for four years with a STEM degree. I was thinking [going to college at] Baylor or UT Austin. Then, you do the DAT which is like the dental entrance exam test to get into dental school. Eventually, I want to move to a big city. Preferably anywhere but Texarkana.”
