Why I Want To Be A Dietitian

I CHOSE TO GO INTO THE HEALTHCARE PROFESSION BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE IN A POSITION TO HELP PEOPLE. I ENJOY WORKING WITH THE ADULT POPULATION AND BEING An NP This role has allowed me to expand my part, and better serve my community by advocating for vulnerable, high-risk adult populations while DELIVERING quality and safe healthcare. I LIKE WORKING WITH MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE. I ENJOY LEARNING FROM EVERYONE I MEET.

My first introduction to nutrition began at age eleven when I would often read health books at my leisure. As a result, I slowly began practicing nutritious habits and even encouraged family members to join me. After realizing how I positively impacted close family members into making healthier diet and lifestyle choices, I came to understand the value that education can have in creating change. I was eager and motivated to start a career helping others live healthier lives and desired to use my dietetics degree to make an influential impact on rural and underserved areas where resources and community organizations are limited, yet necessary.

After graduating high school, I was accepted to Alabama State University and decided to study Biology. I figured that this area would help me study living organisms, life processes and understanding the basic life processes that required different medical provisions. I believed that I would eventually find out if I wanted to studying medicine or counsel people. On May 7, 2011, I graduated from Alabama State University with my Bachelor’s degree in Biology. Then I volunteered at Jamaica Hospital emergency room alongside the medical providers and interact with the families of those who are medically

In today’s world, one cannot watch a thirty-minute television show without being bombarded with commercials promoting the latest, “Breakthrough Health Kick.” The Paleo Diet, Atkins Diet, South Beach Diet, along with a vast number of diets on the market has skewed the idea of healthy eating. The textbook, Nutrition from Science to You, states, “Healthy eating means you need to balance, vary, and moderate your nutrient intake.” Sadly, when I took two days to analyze my own diet I found a lack of balance, variety, and the ability to eat in moderation.

At the time, I did not know that working out, health and fitness would become one of my favorite hobbies. I enjoy studying the human body while combining training and nutrition, learning how exercise affects metabolism, and in what way different activities affect a variety of muscle groups. I love conditioning because it helps me to de-stress during workouts, gives me pleasure when I reach difficult targets, allows me to meet new people and make friends with others having a similar interest. As a future physician I will lead by example and plan to continue striving to be healthy throughout my

I once fell victim to the almost trancelike state that the food industry casts upon its consumers. I was more than content to eat the things that tasted delicious. Gluttony sets in fast when that’s all you want to eat. After realizing I had a problem, eating nothing but garbage on a daily basis and gaining copious amounts of weight for someone my age, I decided to take better control over the things that I put on my plate. There was a year of nonstop fruits and veggies from the farmer’s market because it still had a quality taste while being substantially healthier than any food that was readily available for my convenience at the store. My story was one of trial and error. It was a deep gouge in my confidence that was necessary to break me away from society’s cornucopia of health

Many individuals do not recognize the elements of food they consume, whether they’re healthy or unhealthy. In America, we are surrounded by supermarkets and restaurants who sell good and bad foods, which are hard to avoid. We develop cravings such as foods that contain high sugar and fat. This leads to chronic health issues. Whole foods are converted to processed foods, deceiving a person trying to follow a diet. Some believe that we can eat anything and our bodies will filter it out naturally despite what we see in public and hear in the news. According to my independent research, eating all types of food and thinking it will allow our body to figure out what should properly be digested is a strong risk to take.

Career motivation: Graduated from high school, I attended health care- pharmacy. From-time to time while in college, my interest doubled in the field of health. Finally, I graduated in two-year pharmacy degree and joined the workforce immediately. Even though, the workplace is out of the United States, I have gained endless experiences started from small rural health care center to the country’s food medicine and health care regulatory authority for the past ten years. Definitely, that was the place where I understood what health care is, why health care is important, and how health care professions differ from other professions. So the only career which struggle to restore and maintain the healthy lives of living creatures, including the human being is the health care

This swayed my decision and ultimately, I earned my B.S. Health and Exercise Science. My mission as a personal trainer for the last 8 years have included over 7,500 one-on-one personal training sessions for health promotion, rehabilitation and disease prevention. My service was based on holism, well-being that reflected the person’s ability to maximize their quality of life. My favorite clients to work with were defined as “special case” clients. These clients suffer from a range of neurological diseases, rare birth defects, the elderly, and the clinically obese population.

I choose nursing as my future career because I enjoy working with others, helping others feel better, and educating people. These three topics are all involved in what nursing is. I believe that nursing is focused on the holistic care of individuals and their families in order to achieve and maintain an optimal level of health, a great quality of life, and comfort. This is done through the promoting healthy living, providing a safe environment, preventing illness, and the caring for the individual and the family.

The practice of public health most aligns with my passion for science, culture, and the community. The aspects of public health that I am most drawn to is the opportunity to work with diverse and underserved patient populations, and the emphasis that is placed on disease prevention and healthy lifestyle promotion. My academic and extracurricular experiences during my college career contributed to my interest and preparation for a career as a physician in the public health practice. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Nutritional Science with a minor in Anthropology. I took a variety of classes that expanded my perspective of the role of nutrition in disease prevention and treatment. Through my studies in anthropology, I learned about the complex

Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to do something special in life. I was born in a small village in Mexico where public health and education were very limited. In 1996, my family and I got the opportunity to move to the United States. This move brought me closer than I had ever thought possible to accomplishing my dream of becoming a registered dietitian and working in public health nutrition. I have always valued my education because where I am from it was really difficult to study beyond middle school. Here, in the United States, I have gotten the chance to further my education beyond high school.

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

My interest towards a career in culinary arts I credit to my need to create and perfect with every chance I get. I started cooking as a way to distract myself from my outside reality that was growing up in a very dangerous part of South Central Los Angeles, there were very limited resources for career readiness given to me throughout my life until I got to high school and became obsessed with my cooking class. I was 16 at the time and while my friends were out playing sports and going to social events, all I wanted to do was learn new techniques and experiment with recipes. When I turned 17, while a senior in high school, I decided that I did not want to attend university for the simple fact that I did not find anything but cooking to be exhilarating

From a young age, I have always wanted to know how and why the things around me work. Science was one of my more well-liked subjects throughout my schooling years. I am able to excel in these subjects because I have developed a strong interest in them and I enjoy the process of learning new things. I have always wanted to go to university to study a science-based subject. While browsing through the variety of courses available in your university, I came across "Food Science" and it caught my attention. That was when I knew it would be the right course for me.
