In this episode, Richard shares how he entered the dental hygiene profession later in life and built a 3.8 GPA despite undiagnosed dyslexia and test anxiety. His strong study habits, along with a great support system, and managing his dyslexia and test anxiety have led him to success. He has found ways to give back to his community by starting the Richard Robinson Scholarship, providing mentorship to students, and starting a nonprofit organization, MyWhy, that you can check out here: <a href=\"https://www.thatsmywhy.org/about-us\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.thatsmywhy.org/about-us</a></p><p><br></p><p>🟠Start here: Get dental hygiene school tips, free resources, and access to upcoming student events →https://dentalhygienebasics.mykajabi.com/newsletter</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>🟠 When you're ready for boards: Become a StudentRDH VIP member → https://www.studentrdh.com/national-dental-hygiene-board-review-nbdhe-studentrdh-vip-club?utm_source=Referral%60&amp;utm_medium=Podcast&amp;utm_campaign=DHBasics&amp;utm_content=DVIP3</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>🟠Want extra support + events?
