Personal Statement: A Career As A Vegan Chef

I have always seen myself as a compassionate person that is outgoing and more than willing to dedicate my time just to see another person take something away from the experience. The compassion and people skills combined with the ability to actually aide in fixing their health and even being a part of the process of healing really resonated with me in a profound way. This is a job that I would be able to have many different choices in. I could travel across the country and see many different areas and how they are affected by certain things. I could learn to view the world through a different lens of perspective. On top of all of this, I would be able to do what I love—help

The documentary Food Inc. is a great example of commercial farming. The purpose of commercial farming is to mass produce food and animals, to feed the community. The concept of commercial farming could also go along food security. The community needs to make sure that there is enough food to feed the growing population at all times. The problem right now isn’t that there isn’t enough food, but rather that there is too much food. The Tyson company produces all kinds of meat to feed people around the country, and when doing so they tend to overproduce. With this overproduction, we are left with expired animals that cannot be produced into food for consumption, and in turn, provide extra parts that aren’t useful or helpful.

Health is a major issue in any city or country. Health is considered the most important thing when it comes to taking care of your body. Without the correct studies of how to take care and realize what is wrong with your health, you won’t know the exact problem of what is going on. This is where the professionals come in, in other words healthcare providers. A healthcare provider is defined as a provider of medical and health related services. We contact healthcare providers for diagnosis, treatments, screening, consultations, and preventions of any harm to our health; this is also why they are important to us. The range between healthcare providers widens from dentistry all the way to physical injuries. I personally want to be a health care provider but not do any gross stuff like switching out hearts and

I am currently a registered dietitian and love working in healthcare, but for a long time I have been unfulfilled in my job. I wish to maximize my

I am currently on track to complete my degree in Nutritional Science. Once completed, I hope to settle in to an important role as a nutritionist. Exactly what environment I am hoping to work in, I am not yet certain. As a nutritionist, it would be my responsibility to plan and conduct nutritional programs that assist in promoting good health and control of diseases. Responsibilities may include supervising food service departments, counseling individuals, or conducting nutritional research.

I am drawn to the long-term comprehensive care aspect of primary care. Primary care presents the opportunity to “treat the whole person” and develop an ongoing relationship with the patient while allowing me to work with a diverse patient population in a variety of settings. This role aligns with my personal values in regards to health maintenance. I want to be in a practice that places a large emphasis on disease prevention and healthy lifestyle promotion. I want nutrition education to be largely incorporated into my practice. In addition, I want to continue to assist underserved populations as I progress in my medical career, whether it is through volunteer opportunities or as my primary patient population. Within recent years, I have taken

Being a Nutritionist is no easy feat. You have to work hard to acquire the proper credentials as well as having an abundance of knowledge based on health issues and food science. It is also important to build people skills and understand the health concerns of every client.

For a one hundred and eighty pound guy like myself, there are several paths I could take that would lead me, nutritionally, to a healthy lifestyle. The most appealing to me have been the more meat based diets. These include a good deal of steak, chicken, and other meats that would help give me protein throughout the day.

In 2008 I was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease that put my life on hold hold for several years, during that time I came to terms with my own mortality. I had been vegetarian for 15yrs and went vegan 9-years-ago. I believe that my vegan diet is what got me healthy and was the reason why I didn't experience side effects from the medication that I now have to be on for the rest of my life.

Food For Thought (FFT), an organization founded in 2016, is one of my most prideful activities of completion. FFT is a local food pantry that is run by National Honor Society (NHS) members. Members pack food that feeds over twenty students and families each week. After I was elected Vice-President of NHS, I was offered the presidential position alongside another colleague to run the pantry. Working within the pantry allowed me to care for my community, gain morality and change the world. The world will change when individuals take action and I was honored to do just that through FFT.

The career field that I am interested in is being a clinical dietitian. A clinical dietitian works in a hospital and uses medical nutrition therapy to help her patients maintain health. She may work with patients with chronic diseases that need a specialized meal plan. She may also examine the nutrition levels of her patients and determine what nutritional deficiencies they may have. The overall goal for a clinical dietitian is to maintain the health of her patients. However, issues may arise concerning this goal. The clinical dietitian will have to work hard and be determined to keep patients from losing health, especially those who are already malnourished. Issues develop regarding health maintenance when there is miscommunication between the dietitian and patient, refusal of treatment from the patient, and treatment of the patient with the wrong nutritional information.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express myself. Dietitian has been something I have always wanted to become. I am passionate about nutrition and health. I enjoy chemistry and food related subjects and I am interested in working for the health service. During my first year in high school, I have completed two weeks of shadowing with my dietitian uncle, at my hometown Jordan. I enjoyed every part of this experience. It enabled me to explore how the dietitian and the patient contact with each other, and how they both work together to set a plan to change the patient's behavior. The average age of the majority of patients that I saw during my shadowing week was between 30 and 50. Most of these patients were diagnosed with some form of

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

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.
