Fn/101 Reflection

When I first began college I was unsure of what career path I wanted to pursue, but I knew whatever I chose would lead me to a challenging and rewarding career. My first semester I enrolled as a biology major because of my interest in science and desire to work within the health care field. This same semester I also happened to be taking a nutrition class as apart of my general education, and I was introduced to the science of nutrition. As the semester progressed my passion for nutrition grew, while the feelings of uncertainty I had about my future career path began to dissolve. I was drawn to nutrition once I began learning about the effect that food has on our health, and realized I could help people suffering from diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease, which are so prevalent today. I knew that choosing to major in dietetics was going to require an immense amount of hard work and dedication, but I decided to accept the challenge and pursue a career in dietetics.

Over the course of this semester, I have learned a lot about who I am. I have discovered things that I did not know about myself. Choosing Spelman College as an institute to education myself at was only the first step that I took. Overcoming the challenges that it has brought is the second step that I am yet taking. I am slowly, but surely transforming into a Free Thinking Woman.

Thinking about having the ability to embody all of the students within Texas A&M’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences quickly grabs my attention. The majority of the goals I have set for myself throughout my life have been related to bettering the community I was apart of. In order to achieve my goals, I have talked to my peers to create an concept that could benefit everyone. Afterwards we put the plan into motion.

To be perfectly honest my recollection of Comp 121 is a little foggy, i took the course roughly a year and a half ago and during my first semester and it was one of my first college level courses. From what i can recall it was a interesting and enjoyable, The professor Jacob Sherlock is no longer with the school, but was a professional writer along with a life-long lover and student of the written word. We regularly discussed current events and the class wide give and take of various ideas and viewpoints was truly enlightening and are easily amongst my most enjoyable and memorable college experiences. In particular i vibrantly recall a passionate debate on gun-control which was to be frank, dominated by a extremely Conservative former Army

Looking back at the first couple days in ENC 1101 I was absolutely overwhelmed and stressed about the amount of essay’s that were going to be done. I looked at the syllabus which provided all the work that was going to be done and I wanted to jump of a bridge. Not being fully prepared in high school didn’t help me with my panic. I truly felt in the beginning that it was going to be too hard and I was not going to make it. Through the class I learned many things, the first paper was a minor headache but it really helped me with thoughts, how an essay supposed to flow, and the style of a paper. Once I received a grade for the first paper, I was actually stunned and motivated. Being on the right track opened up my mind and I felt confident going

Moving ahead to the middle of this course has me feeling confident in my ability to define computer terms in various  business situations. In addition to this, the INFT124 class also helps me remember the names of basic computer parts and it also helps me competently explain how computers function. These activities also help me advance my computer knowledge, experience and competencies so I know how to complete challenging academic tasks.

Before I began this course I thought that I was a really good writer and that I would strive in ENC 1101 with ease. I assumed this because I was always getting good grades in my previous English courses in high school. Most of my papers in high school I had got a high B or an A. But I got a big awakening when I turned in my first paper in ENC 1101. This is because I had assumed that I was going to get a good grade because I thought I had answered all the things that were listed on the rubric that you handed us. When I received my first paper back I was on the borderline tears that I had got a C. At first I did not understand what I had did wrong. After going back and looking at my teacher's comments I realized that I needed to provided more

Upon reflection of the FYE 105 course material from this semester I realized there have been many techniques I have been able to improve or learn new strategies for academic success in the pursuit of lifelong learning. After being out of a traditional school for over twenty years, my academic success strategy began with obtaining a rhythm of life and school. Once I developed and implemented a good personal time management routine that allowed ample time for the many competing activities life brings, I was on course for success in achieving my goals. One aspect of this class that had a significant impact on my academic success was modifying the way I took notes to include all essential information in an easy to read and review format. I will be able to use the notetaking and time management techniques I have learned this semester in not only all future courses but in any environment requiring detailed notes and strict time management to ensure success.

Before FNU 206 Introduction to Nutrition and Dietetics, I only had an idea of what I wanted to do as a Registered Dietitian, but not exactly how to reach that goal. After taking this class, Dr. Adkins has given me direction as to how to find my first destination. The Registered Dietitian career is not like being a doctor; there is no specific practice to study in school and stay as that type of specially trained practice. There are certain practices and patients to attend to as a Registered Dietitian, however my first job can be in a clinical setting with cancer patients as supposed to a company focused on wellness of the body. The same situation applies before becoming certified when I must put those hours of experience in. This intrigued

In 5 years, I plan to have my Bachelors’ Degree in Nutritional Science from Kaplan University. Hopefully, I’ll be working through a Dietetic Internship Program and studying for my RDN exam. I would like to be a Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist. After working as a professional for a few years, taking time away from the classroom and focusing the career itself, I may decide to purse a Master’s Degree or Doctorate. With either of those achievements and 1,000 hours of job experience or specialized training I can take the CNS exam to become a Certified Nutrition

This internship has giving me the chance to observe and witness firsthand the daily activates of a dietitian. Also I have seen how rewarding a dietitian’s career can be in helping others obtain their goals for a healthier life. Over the semester I was able to watch one successful client lose over 25 pounds and reverse her prediabetes health parameters. This has truly shown me that this is the right career for me because I want a job that I can help other. Before I started this internship I wanted to observe nutrition counseling and learn how to effectively use it. Another goal I had for my internship was to practice the nutritional skill I acquired in my undergraduate curriculum. Over the semester I was able to practice menu planning, observe nutrition counseling, nutrition assessment, and create nutrition education handouts. This internship has also, reinforced my dream and goal of owning my own nutritional business. Being able to experience the entrepreneurial aspect of a dietitian with Texas Total Health has taught me so much and opened my eyes to what I need to do to obtain my goal later in life. I didn’t truly have a perspective of all the work you have to put into your own business until this internship. However after this experience I have realized that I know that I do have what it takes to fulfill my

Throughout this paper, I will inform you of ENC 1101 from why I’m nervous about taking this class and what is causing me to worry. I will tell you about two references from the syllabus that stood out to me and why. Last I will advise you if I’m ready for this course and if I feel I’m prepared.

This is Brielle (Junghyun) Black. I'm writing this e-mail to ask you an add code for your PLSI 200 American Politics course.

As the future quickly ahead of me is being planned I have already come to the conclusion that becoming a Nurse Practitioner is what my heart most desires. A nurse practitioner is a person that is taught to utilize their critical thinking skills with advanced academic learning in order to take care of others by making clinical desicion making as it pertains to emotional, mental and physical being .This includes giving them medical instructions to specific or general illnesses to follow at home and through out the managing of their chronic illnesses. Furthermore, reasearching to become a nurse has been enlightening and prior to this course I was not aware that there were many specialities that I could select from such as Genetics, Geriatric, Pediatrics, Addiction, Neonatology , Rehab. Depending on the specificity of the areas of health the requirements for a higher education are

When I started my college journey I wasn’t sure how, but I knew I wanted to help people. After completing a nutrition course and I was amazed by the impact that nutrition has on the human body. It was then when I decided to pursue a career in Dietetics, I wanted mycareer to be applicable to my personal life. because I wanted to study something that would be applicable to my daily life. My family has struggled with Hypertension and Diabetes for a number of years, which also motivates me to learn about disease prevention through nutrition. I am passionate about nutrition and helping others achieve a healthy lifestyle and wellbeing through a healthy well balanced diet. I enjoy being exposed to new things that can expand my knowledge (move to a
