"I’ve got some free time this summer before starting as a pre-dental freshman. What would you suggest I do that could help me grow or prepare whether that’s related to dentistry, academics, or even broader skills?

I already have 30 shadowing hours under my belt, going into freshman year, and will continue shadowing. Besides shadowing, I do jiu-jitsu, and I know that doing meaningful things in the summer could help differentiate me in the future.

Why have to take specific school courses at a young age like history if we aren't growing up to be a history teacher?

because I'm not gonna need to learn about Greek gods to be a lawyer so I feel some courses are not very useful.
