I’m Chama, and I’m really glad to have the chance to share my story with you.

I’m 18, and right now, I’m fully immersed in the DCI Dental Surgery Assistant Program. Life in Colombo is where I’m from. I lived with my amazing parents, along with one sister and four brothers. My dad works tirelessly as a tuk-tuk driver, hustling through the streets to keep our family afloat, while my mom is the glue that holds our home together.

Growing up was challenging. Despite my hunger for knowledge, I couldn’t finish high school. I tried working in a linen shop for a while, hoping to contribute to our household income. But, I was taken advantage of, receiving only a fraction of the promised wages. It hurt, but it made me strive for better.

That’s where my journey to becoming a dental assistant began. The thought of a steady job where I could make a difference and support my family means the world to me. I’m determined to seize this opportunity with everything I’ve got and pave a brighter path for myself and my loved ones.

Thanks for lending an ear as I share a glimpse of my world with you. It means a lot to have your support along this journey.

In my leisure time, you’ll often find me lost in music and movement. Singing my heart out and dancing which brings me joy and helps me stay grounded.

So, that’s a snippet of who I am and where I’m headed. I’m beyond grateful for the chance to share my story with you all, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me.
