In this video, I share my unique journey from growing up in Korea, navigating an identity crisis, and getting into trouble as a teen, to transforming into a successful dentist in Southern California. Discover how I overcame numerous challenges, from struggling in school and battling self-doubt to eventually starting and growing my own dental practice. Join me as I reflect on my past, the lessons I've learned, and my ongoing efforts to improve and expand my business. If you find my story interesting, please like, subscribe, and follow my journey!

21:44 love the story man. Currently find myself in a similar spot, I’m out in the Calabasas area, about to start my third year of Juco and I also had a lot of bad habits pre college, I’ve been a lot better ever since but even the first 2 semesters were tough, hoping to head out to SDSU Fowler college next spring. I also feel like I had identity issues, my parents are Hispanic and I’m a first generation student and growing up now refelcting I feel like I was to white to be around my Hispanic friends and to Hispanic to be around my white friends, it was a battle at times I didn’t where I fit in. Crazy how this journey works man, I’m sure you can relate back to when you first started to correct your habits and really started to do a lot better, it’s tough but everything I’ve done up until now has been and I’ve done it. I’m applying for sdsu in the fall and again, it’s tough I messed up my first sem so idk if they’ll take me but we’ll see, love the story man🙏🏽 it’s amazing and makes me feel good to see that I can actually change if I really want to, so far so good

Had an interesting life

[@meteoriteeeee]

How old are you? At what age did you start dental school?

[@Dr_andrewchoi]

I am 39. I started practicing dentistry at age 34.

[@meteoriteeeee]

@@Dr_andrewchoi Thanks for your reply. Did you change careers? I’m much younger (22) but changed careers from pre-med to software engineering and currently doing an internship so it’s always cool to see people who didn’t just go straight from highschool to their career right away.
