When you get home from work, you hug, kiss, throw the baseball, drop the kids off at practice, grab a cup of coffee, honk at the swerving texter, call your family, answer a few math problems that seem from another planet, brush your kid’s hair, find their shoe, pick up a sock….
Somehow, Dr. Allen always finds time to do more because he’s passionate about giving back. His past experience with books concerning “givers and takers” have motivated him to do more when the communication is clear and the receiver is thankful. It is possible to give back to the community and to reap the benefits. It is important to include yourself in ways that are true to your beliefs to ensure desired interpretations and reinforced confidence from the community.
EDUCATION is one of the ingredients that is most often associated with successful people. With 12 additional years of higher education completed, we are confident our mentor’s heart is full of faith in the books. Back in the day when Dr. Allen attended school in Gastonia, he always studied hard. It may have made him a bit of a nerd, but that drove him to become a successful orthodontist.
Today, he wishes the best of success to all students. That is why Marc Allen Orthodontics invests time, spirit, and money in the community schools.
Our latest endeavor took us to GRAND OAK ELEMENTARY. Principal Ray Giovanelli honors a student each month for their dedication to demonstrating excellence.
We are proud to be part of this great effort to highlight the qualities that can be found in a great pupil: respect, responsibility, collaboration, honesty, caring, leadership, citizenship, risk-taking, and perseverance amongst classmates and teachers.
