Hi my name is Janelle Franco. It has always been a dream of mine to have a career in the medical/dental field. In 2007 I started taking general education courses at Columia College in Sonora, Ca. I was a part time student and a full time mom to three wonderful children. This year all of my children are in school, and I too have become a full time student. I am currently in a dental hygiene program. As I continue my education, I will use this site to discuss new information that I have learned from my special needs and periodontics classes. I will be posting information regarding diseases, and summarizing journal articles. All topics will be related to my future career as a dental hygientist.
