      "Yes, I would consider myself a creative person because I love to sing, dance, and do photography. I bought a DSLR camera seven years ago and started doing photography since then. I love taking and editing photos of nature and people to make them look the best. I knew that photography is also a big part of dentistry and I am looking forward to applying my skills to thrive in dentistry."
