My specific areas of interest include cardiovascular nutrition and oncology nutrition. Once I become a dietitian my short-term goals include gaining clinical experience by working in a hospital. I also plan on joining a local professional organization, so I can stay involved with my community and network with other dietitians. My long-term goals would be to purse my interest in oncology and cardiovascular nutrition. I would like to work at a cardiac rehabilitation center or in the cardiology unit at a hospital where I could help combat the leading cause of death in the United States. To purse oncology nutrition I would like to work in an outpatient cancer center, and join the Oncology Nutrition Dietetic Practice

I have always had a passion for education and being at Saint Vincent Academy, I have grown into a passionate young woman. Academically, I have been exposed to many different classes such as American History, Women's History, Modern History, a very graphic freshman year health class, and Human Anatomy and Physiology. Each class has helped me in forming my passion of helping people and the ability to empathize. Through my history classes, I have learned about the need to help others and through my science classes, I have come to the decision to become a nutritionist/ registered dietician. My goal as a nutritionist is to help people take better care of themselves and it will start by acknowledging them on what they put into their body's and the

As an apathetic killer of 300,000 innocent individuals in America, obesity is one of the largest controversial diseases of discussion in America’s history. Although obesity itself isn’t the direct cause of these numerous deaths, it is the lead contributor in augmenting the chance of the incidence of heart disease and diabetes which equate to the leading causes of death in the United States. Solving the puzzle of obesity can save the lives of friends and family members everyone loves and cherishes. To solve the puzzle of obesity with my obsession with chemistry and genetics, I would examine the relationship between genes, enzymatic activity, and structural composition of fat. The undergraduate research opportunities that the Honors Program at UGA provides are indispensable for my growth as a student taking the path of medicine and research. Some of the very traits I exhibit include but are not limited to being intrinsically motivated and passionate about uncovering unknowns. Through the Honors Program, I can obtain the opportunities to pursue and

In general, for my long-term goal is to help people and make them aware of how much nutrition and physical activity can make a big change in their life. My first goal is applying for the Internship within 2 years of graduating. After I complete my internship I will prepare for the exam by studying all my nutrition notes and books from school as well as all material from my internship. I will apply and take the national registered dietitian exam in order to be a practicing Registered Dietitian.

I posses many strengths that will make me a successful dietetic intern, which include my abilities to multi-task and handle stress. I exhibited effective time management skills when I graduated with Cum Laude Honors, while simultaneously working five days a week for Clovis Unifies School District. While working for Clovis Unified School District I received two promotions, which indicates that I have a strong work ethic and take initiative. My education and the experience I have acquired working at Madera Community Hospital have allowed me to develop a strong understanding of medical nutrition therapy and foodservice management. I also possess strong interpersonal skills, as I am always very respectful and professional when interacting and with my peers and superiors. My strong leadership and communication skills were demonstrated when I was responsible for supervising eight staff members and overseeing an afterschool program at with over 100 students enrolled. This required a great deal of responsibility, as I was required to communicate with parents, school officials, and my staff effectively.

The first day of school is a book just opened with the story yet to unfold. My story starts in a new unfamiliar place. It was intimidating to walk into the halls of Larned High School. Coming from a school of 80 students to a school of over 300 students was a massive change.

I have studied human biosciences and nutrition within my health science diploma/degree; both of these have brought me valuable skills and knowledge to succeed in this role.

These health care teams often are made up of many different types of professionals including doctors, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, therapists, registered dietitians (RD), and many other different types of technologists and technicians. Although all of these members of the team are essential, the role registered dietitian’s play and the knowledge they contribute is vital to many different specialties in health care. According to a study by Kelly Adams, Karen Lindell, Martin Kolhmeier, and Steven Zeisel, only 30% of medical schools require an actual separate course in nutrition. Although their curriculum may include nutrition throughout the many different courses a physician has to take, this is an inadequate amount of time being spent on nutrition to be considered and expert in this field, which results in the vitality of having and maintaining a RD on their team. Nutrition can prevent and help treat many different problems that arise in clinical care and the different specialties that it entails.

The field of nutrition science has yet to understand many factors that allow it to optimize nutrition for every-body. The very nature of the human body is subjective; it cannot be narrowed down to one factor, as science demands and varies from person to person. Pollan (2008) further delineates this point in his critique of reductionist science saying: “there is nothing very machinelike about the human eater, and to think of food as simply fuel is to misconstrue it” (p.

The author seems to feel strongly that Collegiate Preparatory High School is a superior high school to Exover Academy. Before I present a well-reasoned critique of her argument, it is important to note that the author is a parent of a Collegiate student. This suggests she could hold a bias in favor of Collegiate, especially considering that she is arguing in favor of Collegiate. Perhaps she wants to justify her decision to send her child to Collegiate - clearly no parent wants to feel that they sent their child to the worse school, so she may be enacting psychological mechanisms to bolster her self-esteem. With this in mind, we may begin to critique her argument.

Montclair State University and I posses a common vision. I, like MSU believe in the power of thinking critically and acting ethically in every possible aspect of my life. I have chosen to study Nutrition at Montclair because I want to help people make educated lifestyle choices and develop healthy habits, which has always been a dream of mine. Because I intend to pursue a career in dietetics, I see Montclair State University as an ideal place for me. Offering impressive coursework and programs that will quench my thirst for knowledge, this university will prepare me for a dietetic internship and provide me the confidence of knowing that I would be getting an excellent education in nutrition at a top school with consistently high ratings.

Obesity: one of the nation’s most critical health problems. “Overweight is defined as having excess body weight for a particular height from fat, muscle, bone, water, or a combination of these factors. Obesity is defined as having excess body fat” (“Centers for Disease Control and Prevention”). When energy input and output get out of balance, obesity arises. Many factors can cause someone to become obese such as genetics, metabolism, level of physical activity, and more. “Overweight and obesity are the result of “caloric imbalance”—too few calories expended for the amount of calories consumed—and are affected by various genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors” (“CDC Features - Obesity & Genetics”). “When a person eats and drinks more calories than he or she burns, the energy balance tips toward weight gain, overweight, and obesity” (“Understanding Adult Overweight and Obesity”). Obesity is increasing throughout the United States due to lack of healthy behaviors, big health risk, genetics and increasing in children and adults.

Our life is something that is so precious. Every choice we make impacts our life wether it be physically or mentally. When we choose to make poor life choices, it will reflect on us as individuals. Poor choices in what we consumed or how active we are will lead to a life that can lead to an early death. Obesity is an epidemic health problem that has been one of the leading causes to death. The disease itself causes sever health conditions as well as mental health issues.no one wants to become obese, but in today’s society we have been given the perfect recipe that will land us in a fight for our life. Obesity is not something that simply happens, but a lifetime of poor choices. We must discover the source of obesity and attack the health issue from the primary leading factors. We start with the source in order to help improve the lives of people everywhere who are battling this disease, as well as those who are predisposed to a higher chance of developing it.

I decided to analyze the heath documentary, Hungry for Change. There are two reasons why I chose this particular documentary, which are, my education and health, and my family’s health. Personally, I am very interested in nutrition, health, and overall well-being. It wasn’t until I was in high school that I began to make better food choices and do moderate exercises. Now that I am in college, where I’m forced to make my own food, I’ve grown to love cooking and eating with organic and whole food. While I am in college, where there is daily access to a gym, I have all the reasons to be healthy and fit. To be a little serious about my health decisions, I decided to take a Nutrition course this semester to enhance my understanding about the

Getting a Bachelors of Science in Nutrition is a valuable investment. There are different careers to choose from that include clinical, corporate, food service, government and military service. In nutrition, the more experienced the person is the better the opportunities. Therefore, as a nutrition undergraduate student, I plan to build my experience to be a competitive applicant for the careers I wish to work for, which are a nutrition lecturer, nutrition marketing business partner, or nutrition researcher.
