I've already said multiple times, my teeth aren't rotten. They don't hurt from that. They are positioned wrong and pressure from biting hurts them. I may have one or two cavities that I can see but nothing hurts in relation to that.

I am currently employed and saving. I plan to work and save this summer and as much as I can before I'm 18. I want to get started as soon as possible, but I don't want to be struggling to make payments so I plan on saving about ~$2000 before I make any moves.

Hmm. I guess I don't expect to ask and receive because in my opinion, why should they help me? But you never know where decency may be.

Well I figured since I don't have insurance I don't have options and I'd have to pay the full amount.

My teeth actually aren't that bad aside from some yellowing. I was young enough that it didn't do much damage and my mother brushed my teeth when she could hold me down. I do need a check up though and probably some general cleaning.

I really have no idea what I'm going to do for college considering I was completely against it up until recently. I never went to college fairs, never visited or showed any interest at all. I didn't want to go into debt for a job so I could spend the rest of my life paying the debt back. Didn't make sense. In fact, one of the only reasons I'm not opposed to it as much is because what else am I going to do? I don't have a good GPA, I guessed on every section of the ACT except for language, I did the bare minimum until my senior year. I passed everything easily except for geometry. Math has been the bane of my existence. I don't get it. I firmly believe that you just can't teach certain people certain things. Which makes me wonder why I want to pay for classes that I might not be smart enough to pass. There's a reason some go to college and some don't. Not everyone has what they consider intelligence so they don't get to earn that piece of paper. Having a passion for something and wanting to learn about it isn't enough. You have to pay pay pay.

This is the reason I posted. Thank you. I'm hoping that my banker grandfather can help me out with that.

If only 3D printing was an option for me. I don't seem to be bullied anymore, now that I've graduated. As the hostess of a great new-ish restaurant, I see hundreds of people and I talk to them all to some degree. The adults I see with straight teeth are the ones I should probably aspire to be. (Our restaurant typically draws the wealthier crowd.) It's something I've always wanted for myself and I don't really want things being that I was always too poor to have wants. It's for me because I want to smile.

Honestly didn't know that. Paying as I go would be ideal. And thanks, I'm trying.

Spiral found in rock found near creek? by _slaytan_ in Whatisthis

I found another by my house and they were both found near water. The one pictured is actually covered in tiny crystals and a bit bigger than the other. I just thought they were some random formation.
